Review by Ms. Julia S. Butler

Album Review: "And The Soul Goes On" by Remain In Silence Alright, buckle up, because we’re diving into And The Soul Goes On, the 2016 release from Remain In Silence. This moody little masterpiece hails from Germany and Austria, brought to you by MIG Records (not to be confused with your uncle’s favorite car brand). It’s a genre-bending cocktail of rock, electronic vibes, pop/rock sensibilities, and adult alternative flair—all topped off with a healthy dose of darkwave and goth rock seasoning. Yeah, it's like someone threw an emo kid, a synth wizard, and a brooding poet into a blender. And honestly? I’m here for it. Now, let’s talk tracks. With a whopping 22 songs on this album, there’s plenty to unpack, but two tracks really stuck in my brain like gum under a desk: “Wrapped In Ice” and “Hope & Fear (Revisited)”. First up, “Wrapped In Ice.” Oh man, this one hits hard. Imagine standing alone at 3 AM in a foggy forest while someone plays melancholy synths behind you. That’s basically the vibe here. The song has that eerie yet hypnotic quality that makes you want to stare out a rain-streaked window while contemplating life choices you haven’t even made yet. Plus, they throw in not one but TWO radio edits of this track—which feels kinda unnecessary, tbh. Like, we get it, guys—it’s good! No need to hammer the point home. Still, if haunting melodies are your jam, this tune will linger longer than last week’s leftovers. Then there’s “Hope & Fear (Revisited),” which sounds like what would happen if Joy Division decided to collaborate with Depeche Mode after binge-watching existentialist documentaries. It’s got layers—emotionally and musically—that pull you in deep. You start nodding along, then suddenly realize you’ve been crying over lyrics about...uh, something profound? Honestly, I wasn’t paying attention to the words; I was too busy vibing. But hey, sometimes feelings don’t need explanations, right? The rest of the album keeps things interesting with atmospheric instrumentals like “Fragment 1” and punchier numbers like “The Hunters,” though some tracks feel repetitive when played back-to-back. By the time you hit “Endless Sea,” you might find yourself wondering whether the soul actually does go on—or if it just politely excuses itself halfway through. So yeah, And The Soul Goes On isn’t perfect, but it’s packed with enough emotional depth and sonic experimentation to keep listeners hooked. If you dig music that straddles the line between gloomy introspection and danceable beats, give this a spin. Just maybe skip the duplicate versions of certain songs unless you're really attached to them. Final thought: Listening to this album feels like attending a funeral where everyone secretly wants to boogie—but no one admits it. And honestly? That’s kind of beautiful.
