The Roots run deep in the music of Frank Viele. On the title track (and opening cut) for his recent E.P., The Silo, the soundtrack is ominous. A patter of notes leads the way into song as dark clouds of melody rise above the guiding force of vocals that tell a tall of love containing a similar darkness. Based in Connecticut, Frank Viele strums an Americana that shows its influences as wide as the land they represent while songs build a brand for the singer forged in the passion of his delivery and the drive of his rhythms.
 
While “We Can’t Have It All” seems to spell out a dead end, Frank Viele rescues the story with the inspiration of his words and music. The Silo picks out notes on a lonely church basement piano to begin “She Sleeps Better in the Rain” as the beat steadily ascends with his commanding presence, tenderly whispering its fears in “Better Late Than Too Soon”. Closing out The Silo with a cover, Frank Viele borrows a tune from Bob Seger, slowing the rhythm of “Against the Wind” to a meandering memory played out over a stripped back sound that showcases a man and his guitar. (by Danny McCloskey)
