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

"The Dusk Line is a beautifully executed exercise in restraint." - EXCLAIM

"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

"All drugs of any interest to any moderately intelligent person in America
are now illegal."


Thomas Szasz

the argument goes something like this...


"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God,

"for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."


"But," says man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it?

It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore,

by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D."


"Oh dear," says God,

I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes

in a puff of logic.


well, I guess that about wraps it up for God...
