Pernille B\u00f8cker provides vocals on the first and the last track as well, adding a nice bit of feminine energy to this otherwise gorgeous LP, which is a mix of minimal new wave, post-punk, and ethereal. Some touchstones include early Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Tangerine Dream\/Popul Vuh, Felt, This Mortal Coil, and maybe even a little of the mellower, folkier Pink Floyd tracks from the early 70s. There are two tracks with percussion on the first side that lean more post-punk, while the second side is a gentler affair, with expansive piano passages and ambient suites.<\/p>\n<p>I really adore the range and delicacy of this album, and I hope you enjoy it as well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/2025\/03\/silent-windfall-and-we-have-our-dreams-lp\/r-1789258-1350658900-4423\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6233\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6233\" src=\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/R-1789258-1350658900-4423-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/R-1789258-1350658900-4423-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/R-1789258-1350658900-4423-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/R-1789258-1350658900-4423.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Silent Windfall &#8211;\u00a0<em>And We Have Our Dreams<\/em> LP<br \/>\n1.
