SilverfoxxETO is an Instrumental Artist/producer and founder of E.T.O. (Extraterrestrial Outlaws) which is a collective of abstract artists.

“Pittsburgh” by “SilverfoxxETO” begins as a complex and emotional piece of music; the intro very briefly presents an electronic soundscape, played in a distant and thoughtful way, then the bulk of the song starts to emerge, and there’s a lot to love about it.
SilverfoxxETO is a songwriter, not simply a lyricist or singer – this release has structure, depth, creativity, emotion, and tons of appeal. The artist’s leading voice has a huge amount of character, but it’s the melody, the expression, and the varying musical moments that make this what it is. There’s strength in the originality of the track – there’s so much space around the vocal part on occasion, often followed up by those opening chords that create an ambiance of genuine emotion and intensity. The varying moments have such an impact because there’s contrast between them; the space is followed by volume, the volume is followed by space and quiet, and that hook – the key idea or concept of the song is presented in a striking and memorable way, and it works incredibly well.
As the song progresses, there’s a unique and interesting string section that comes into play, almost electronic sounding on occasion, offering up just snippets of notes half tapped to exemplify the rising intensity.
The structure of the song is a huge part of what makes it captivate you as you listen. The switch from the verse to the chorus alone hits with striking impact, and it’s a chorus that works – it drives that title, that concept, with emotion and a somewhat theatrical sort of power. The accompanying music, the developing instrumentation, and the varying melodies, all support and enhance this sentiment superbly.
The musical atmosphere allows you to escape, allows your mind to wander, then consider these ideas and to attempt to come to some sort of conclusion as to what it all means and how it relates to oneself. This is when music or lyricism in particular gets interesting, when it stems from personal experience, yet it reaches out and connects with various other pathways, various other individuals, who then form their own stories and thoughts within it.
