Kim Logan & the Silhouettes ignite the future on "Saturnalia"
With Saturnalia, Kim Logan & the Silhouettes don’t just pivot from their past, they detonate it. Released on December 19th, 2025, the transatlantic group’s third full-length album feels like a deliberate break from the comfort of nostalgia, a bold leap into something darker, stranger, and far more dangerous. Where earlier work reveled in grit and groove, Saturnalia stares unblinking at a dystopian horizon and dares listeners to follow.
Produced alongside Rex Roulette, whose résumé alone signals controlled chaos, the album carries a muscular confidence from the first moments. The presence of bassist Dominic Davis and drummer Chris Prendergast gives the record a rhythmic backbone that feels both ruthless and fluid. The grooves don’t simply support the songs; they stalk them, dragging each idea forward with tension and intent. Add a striking vocal appearance from Adeleye Omotayo, and the album’s sonic universe widens even further, revealing unexpected warmth inside the industrial chill.
Trip-hop atmospheres bleed into industrial thrum, digital grunge collides with French darkwave pop, and everything is stitched together with a restless sense of purpose. This is not genre-hopping for novelty’s sake rather it’s a band interrogating what modern rock can sound like when it stops looking backward. The production feels sharp-edged and expansive, as if the songs are constantly trying to outrun their own shadows. They’ve really managed to create something beautiful and cohesive from start to finish.
At the center of it all is Kim Logan, delivering lyrics that read like warnings carved into concrete. Her writing is philosophical without drifting into abstraction, grounded in the unsettling recognition of a society edging toward collapse. There’s a ritualistic quality to her delivery, part invocation, part confrontation, as if each line is meant to fortify the listener against whatever comes next.
Vocally, Logan commands the album with an intensity. She doesn’t oversell the apocalypse, she narrates it. That restraint makes the record’s most explosive moments hit harder, and its quieter passages feel more ominous. The Silhouettes match her step for step, crafting arrangements that feel meticulously constructed yet volatile enough to crack open at any second.
Arriving at the end of a breakthrough year that saw the band crisscross dozens of American states, conquer stages across Europe, and rack up international press and streaming milestones, Saturnalia sounds like a culmination and a challenge rolled into one. It’s an album that demands attention, not because it’s loud, but because it’s fearless. Kim Logan & the Silhouettes have built an apocalyptic Frankenstein, and somehow made it feel like the future of rock rather than its ruin.
