Silver Columns is the collaborative effort of Johnny Lynch, aka The Pictish Trail (he of Fence Collective fame) and Adem, fellow folky and bassist in post-rock outfit Fridge. The two have combined to make music with instruments they don't know how to use, to fuck with a four-to-the-floor beat and still get people dancing.

Having burst into the public conscience with singles Brow Beaten and Yes, and Dance, Silver Columns made their live debut at Fence Records' annual hootenanny, Homegame this year and will continue to appear at festivals and venues throughout the year. With plans to release an album in May, Silver Columns are ones to watch in 2010.
