In the Silence is the second studio album of the Icelandic singer-songwriter Ásgeir (known name Ásgeir Trausti, full name Ásgeir Trausti Einarsson) and is his first all-English album.
The album has the same songs of his highly successful debut album Dýrð í dauðaþögn in Icelandic language, but with translated or new English-language lyrics by John Grant (from original lyrics in Icelandic by Einar Georg Einarsson, Ásgeir's father).
The album has charted in Belgium and the Netherlands and the debut single from the album "Going Home" has charted in France.
