Featured Tune: "The silent house" from The Golden Son

Echoes in the Dark: The Silent House

With The Silent House, The Golden Son steps into territory that feels both haunted and deeply human. This isn’t a song you casually play in the background, it demands you sit with it, lean into the shadows it conjures, and let the atmosphere wrap around you like an old, heavy curtain. What’s striking about the track is its weight. The instrumentation is stripped just enough to let every texture breathe, somber guitar tones, a steady rhythmic undercurrent, and a voice that doesn’t just sing but testifies. You hear influences of Nick Cave and David Eugene Edwards, sure, but this isn't an imitation. It’s an exploration of the abyss on Leemans’ own terms, a willingness to let discomfort simmer and beauty emerge from the unease.

There’s a cinematic quality here too. You can almost picture desolate landscapes, forgotten houses on windswept plains, or long night drives where the silence feels louder than any words. The song doesn’t hand you resolution; instead, it lingers, unsettled, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful.
