Release Notes:
Siva. is a trio from Berlin, Germany, a collective playing with a
wide array of instruments since 2001. Pop, rock, electronic tricks,
home & field-recording, samples and minimalism are all part of the
picture. After several EPs and their debut album , "The Story Is
Complete, But I Think WeÆve Lost The Book" this is their second CD.
This looks familiar. Everything has changed. "Same Sights, New
Light", the sophomore album of Berlin's Siva., is the new and
shining work of a new and shining collective. Boldly and tenderly,
their creation phrases music and sound, describes vast arcs in
beautiful tongues. In here, synthesis suspires, and folk and pop
and digital crackles get to many splendid points.
Two years have passed since the release of the band's debut "The
Story Is Complete, But I Think We've Lost The Book". These days and
months saw Siva. freeing themselves from the tight corset of a
band-aided solo idea - crew changes, experiments, emancipations and
compromise solutions set ideal conditions for a new body of work.
The new old band repossessed the past, rebuilt it, got it on new
roads.
Now, "Same Sights, New Light" recounts the steps and moments,
taking its time with every instant. Be impressed by "One Line"
climbing itself, with many heads in the clouds and at least one
foot still under the kitchen table, under the notebook, the coffee
and the sound card. With stunning care, "A Place Worth Mentioning"
weaves giant rhythm into soft and floating landscape pickings. And
"All The Right Moves" sees the warmest heart playing syntheses.
In kitchens, churches, halls and Berlin rooms, Siva. recorded indie
pop gestures, atmospheres, feedbacks, choirs, saw teeth, glitches
and grandeur. From these, "Same Sights, New Light" assembles the
elegant sound of many perspectives. In love with details, inspired
by harmonies, its instruments circle each other, talk with one
voice, dress in homes of alpine scopes and cushion hideouts. They
invite and inspire you, they are volatile and gorgeous, new and
different and familiar.
