  • Description

    Fresh off a tour with The Armed, and on the heels of countless releases and collaborations, Patrick Shiroishi's music is as vital and stirring as ever on I Was Too Young To Hear Silence. Where his breakout release, 2021's Hidemi, used choruses of saxophones and vocals to memorialize his grandfather, I Was Too Young To Hear Silence expands the scope of his remembrance. Shiroishi's chosen instruments are alto saxophone, glockenspiel, and a cavernous parking garage through which the former's melodies reverberate. It's an apt setting for Shiroishi's continuing confrontation of the legacy of Japanese concentration camps.
