Patrick Shiroishi I Was Too Young To Hear Silence

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