“Vacation, the second in a new series of mini-albums for the Ibiza-based International Feel label, is rich with Balearic textures: marimbas, choral synth pads, creamy soprano sax, acoustic guitars run through shimmering digital reverb. It takes cues from genre staples like Penguin Café Orchestra, Wally Badarou, and Sade.”
“Those familiar with Silver's work know he is fond of smaller-scale thematic/stylistic exercises like this, and on these grounds On Vacation succeeds nicely, but those looking for a bolder artistic statement may be disappointed by its conventionality.”
