Народ!
Просветите пожалуйста, что за группа?
У меня есть несколько песен с их альбома 2004 года - The Silent Hours. Хорошие песни, не хуже чем здесь, на сайте. И тоже типа новая волна. Хотелось бы узнать о них побольше.

The Silent Hours - хороший. Дебютный альбом группы.

The Open молодая группа из Лондона. Играет Инди. Все тексты пишет Jon Winter. В записи The Silent Hours принимал участие экс участник Cocteau Twins Simon Raymonde.

The Open состав:
Steven Bayley - вокал
Al Dutton - клавишные
Jon Winter - гитара

это все..

Сам вспомнил,если где ошибся не ругайтесь.

Странно, что на сайте нет никакой инфы или даже рецензии на альбом.
А барабанщика и басиста штатных нет что ли?

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Silent Hours, debut album from Stafford's the Open, sees the young Midlands boys adding their name to the ledger that bears the print of former Brit cosmos-wanderers from the Verve to the Teardrop Explodes, from Shack to the Blue Nile. Recorded with ex-Cocteau Twins member Simon Raymonde, it's an album with an expansive, immersive sound characterised by the interlocking psychedelic textures of keyboardist Al Dutton and guitarist Jon Winter, and completed by the winsome stargazer vocals of frontman Steven Bayley. Lyrically, tracks such as "Coming Down" offer pretty standard generic fare: "When did we start coming down?" pleads Bayley, adrift in a gentle whirlpool of balladic piano and kaleidoscopic guitar flourishes. But for an album made by a bunch of lads clearly stoned out of their gourd, The Silent Hours boasts a rather commendable focus: see "Just Want to Live", a delicate hymn to survival that builds into a mantra of spine-tingling strength, harmonies tumbling over one another in a grand wave that finally brings the song to its close--or the closing "Elevation", a sky-scraping feat of mighty Brit indie drama on a par with the Doves' "Catch the Sun". --Louis Pattison
Description
Debut album from Liverpudlian indie rock quintet whose epicsound has seen them compared to Doves, Echo & The Bunnymen and the Cocteau Twins, whose Simon Raymonde produced the album. His vast production job and the band's knack for sweeping melodic tunes have earned them a considerable amount of favourable press attention. Includes the singles 'Close My Eyes' And 'Just Want To Live'.
