Silhouette is a Dutch progressive rock band from Utrecht.[1][2] So far, the band has released five albums. The music they play is influenced by band such as Genesis, Pink Floyd, Marillion,[3] but also by more recent music. The Dutch Oor Pop Encyclopedie lists Silhouette under the category of progressive rock,[4] other sources refer to their music as neo-prog.
Silhouette's fourth album, Beyond the Seventh Wave, received the iO Pages Prog Award 2014 for the best prog album that was released in Belgium and the Netherlands in that year.[5] The band's manager, Kathy Keller, of My Music Matters-MT promotion company was active during the release phase of the album. Silhouette left in 2017 for record label management.
