Peter Silberman’s solo debut Impermanence dropped in February of 2017, and gives us low-key relaxing vibes. The 30-year-old New Yorker’s album opens with “Karuna,” a lengthy song at almost nine minutes. The track is quite mellow with Silberman’s light vocals and patient murmur speaking to the listener. A feeling of thoughtfulness and calm presided over me as I listened, pondering the meaning of the lyrics and how they related to me. The album continues its zany theme with longer songs. “Gone Beyond” being a highlight on this album for me, shares the therapeutic vibe, and was soft and heartfelt. Overall, the album was definitely enjoyable, very soothing, and had a melody that was easy to ride along with. Impermanence would fit well into a study night or a post-exam rest and relaxation period.
