Influences:
'59.59'
OUT NOW
CD / 2XLP / DIGITAL
"59.59 charts transformations from psychedelic rock, pastoral folk, and piano-lounge balladry into analog-synthtronica, free-jazz breakdowns, pounding Afro-tech grooves, and avant-classical composition. The beauty of Sian Alice Group is that the band is capable of creating highly effective music even when they stray far from traditional torch-song territory." -PITCHFORK [Recommended - 7.7]
"...an astounding album, quite unlike anything one's ever heard before." - ALLMUSIC, 4.5/5"cinematic and gorgeous." - PREFIX, 8.0/10
"Stunning debut album..." - NME
"...some of the most gorgeous, melodic music to surface so far this year. Takes the listener from scattered snares to soft, sad guitar ballads accompanied by legions of strings." - XLR8R, 86.59%
"Saying that 59.59 is an intruiging listen would be a bit of an understatement." - CHART ATTACK
"Alternatively lush and glacial, 59.59 is a work of pinpoint control, and it's a bold declaration of what one band can do." - DEATH AND TAXES
"Sian Alice Group have made one cohesive, as well as impressive album, which transforms a multitude of styles into something distinct." - EXCLAIM
"Some artists walk a fine line between the abstarct and the arranged, creating a sense of spontaneity without being overly rehearsed. Sian Alice Group accomplishes just this. What's more, it does so while simultaneously recalling great artists but sounding completely unique." - FILTER
'THE DUSK LINE'
OUT NOW
CD/12-Inch/DIGITAL
“The Dusk Line EP shows that, along with dynamic shifts, the development of a song is something that’s best demonstrated through repetition: The goal here is to draw out the hypnotic, subtle power of a single melody, a technique that aligns Sian Alice more closely with contemporary classical composers or the american minimalists of the 1960s than the shoegazers with whom they’re often compared.†- Pitchfork on The Dusk Line
"The Dusk Line is a beautifully executed exercise in restraint." - Exclaim.ca
"This record proves the group is capable of resonating emotionally in a minimal soundscape as much as it does in its more grandiose moments." - XLR8R
'NIGHTSONG'
OUT NOW
7" / DIGITAL
"...something as beautiful as this atmospheric, so-long-it's-split-over-two-sides slice of six-in-the-morning wonderment..." - NME, Vinyl of the week
"...a beautiful, beautiful two part piece of atmospheric wonder." - TIME OUT
"Cromagnic nirvana." (!) - WIRE
