The electro dream-pop project captures the eerie dramatics of The Knife and the syrupy darkness of Ladytron to build a dynamic, exultant sound all their own. Silver Swans take their name from a group of super-villains in the Wonder Woman comics that possess the vocal ability to create a destructive ‘swan song’. The musical counterpart Silver Swans, however, are far from the evil and destruction of their namesake.  What began in 2007 as a dancy electronic track floating between producer Jon Waters and musician/vocalist Ann Yu, soon flourished into a full length record. Two years in the making, the single, Realize The Ghost made its debut on Tricycle Records, and today we take great pleasure in releasing it as a full-length record.

Silver Swans were recently selected #3 on “LIVE 105’s TOP 10 NEW BAY AREA BANDS YOU SHOULD KNOW” with additional radio play on Future Sounds “Hot 5” by Larry Little and Radio Soundcheck with Aaron Axelson.

“What Blaqk Audio is to AFI, Silver Swans are to SF faves LoveLikeFire.Silver Swans are a fantastic new local synth/dance side-project of Ann Yu, lead singer of LoveLikeFire, and its an incredible piece of haunting, hypotonic and dreamy electronic pop. (for fans of The Knife, LADYTRON and La Roux).”
–Aaron Axelsen, Live105 Soundcheck

“Everyone has a different side, especially musicians, and it’s always great to hear that. We all know Ann Yu as the vocalist for LoveLikeFire and her unique ability to create dramatic and memorable songs, but in her side project Silver Swans (with Jon Waters), she shows her keen sense of anchoring dance floor fillers with beautifully swirling hollow vocals and intricate electro instrumentals that lift you into a dream state…a constant, yet enjoyable struggle between vocals and electronics.”
