ISLE RELEASE NEW SINGLE SILENCE IS GOLDEN - AN ODE TO THE ART OF LISTENING
Indie duo ISLE return with their captivating single Silence Is Golden, an upbeat yet reflective track that blends energetic drums, beautiful strings and a chorus you want to dance to. For the first time, Arjan takes the lead on vocals, joined in duet by Lise, adding a fresh dynamic to the duo’s distinctive sound. Silence Is Golden will be available on all major streaming platforms from September 30th, 2025.
In a time of growing division and digital noise, Silence Is Golden explores the quiet strength of listening. “We live in a world where everyone’s trying to be heard, but few are truly listening,” ISLE explain. “We wrote this song to remind ourselves, and anyone who’s open to it, that silence isn’t empty. It’s the space where real connection begins. When we stop pushing our own agenda and simply listen, we make room for someone else’s story.”
Since the release of their debut album A Siren’s Call in 2021, ISLE have built a devoted following, earning praise from platforms like Popmatters, and landing features on Spotify’s ‘Rustig & Mooi’ and ‘A Shot of Indie’ playlists.
With Silence Is Golden, ISLE invite listeners to dance, reflect, and rediscover the beauty in quiet moments. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can say, is nothing at all.

Step into the world of ISLE, where cinematic indie duo Lise Low and Arjan de Wit blend ethereal melodies with trip-hop undertones to create a dreamlike experience.
The duo’s debut album, A Siren's Call (2021), took them to stages across Europe, national radio (Radio 2, 3FM), and onto prestigious Spotify playlists.
The live experience of ISLE transforms every venue into an enchanted space. Arjan's responsive light installation dances with Lise's voice and hand movements to create an atmosphere where imagination knows no bounds.
Their upcoming album, Equilibrium, explores finding peace in a chaotic world. Inspired by Lise's postpartum journey, it offers sanctuary for every tired soul in need of slowing down in a busy world that keeps demanding us to be more, bigger, faster and better. ISLE's music wraps around you like a dream, where time stands still and melodies offer a quiet place to rest.
