‘Call Me Silent’ is an immersive and deeply personal record that explores the balance between self-reflection, empathy, and the search for connection — without losing yourself along the way.

CIEL weaves dreamy melodies with a dark, energetic undertone. Formed by Dutch singer and songwriter Michelle Hindriks and drummer Tim Spencer, the band creates a unique blend of indie rock, shoegaze, and post-punk/new wave.

Michelle: “Stay Along / Sail On is a personal song about a moment when someone very close to me shared their struggles with depression and anxiety. I offered a listening ear, and a few years later, the experience had stayed with me and found its way into a song. Songwriting gives me a space to process these kinds of things and to express what often remains unspoken.”
