Sian Alice Group - 59.59

The title of their debut comes from it's running time. It's an epic record that showcases the talent, range, and ambition of this young group, taking in elements of various genres and making them their own. Sian Alice Group's more classical inclinations show their willingness to tread their own path. Comparisons can be made to Arthur Russell, Angelo Badalamenti, and Steve Reich. The album features contributions from Douglas Hart (Jesus & Mary Chain), John Coxon (Spiritualized, Spring Heel Jack), and Brian DeGraw (Gang Gang Dance). ""Beautiful, lush, dreamy and ethereal, but there's a dark, rainy spookiness at it's core that sets it apart from so many experimental groups out there"" - Vice. 16 tracks. Social Registry Records. 2008.
