Siren Circus
'Solid Poems on a Ghost of Subject'
Cat. No: SCD28024 Genre: Experimental songs
After being active on the international underground and arts club scene for years, Siren Circus release their debut album 'Solid Poems on a Ghost of a Subject' a collection of songs ranging from densely woven epics to naked ballads and featuring their extraordinary virtuoso voices. A chain of sonic-tales unwinds through a twilight territory of dreams, ghostly worlds and urbanity. Siren Circus' riveting vocal performances, poetic sensibilities, humour and fusing of musical styles (from opera to folk music) creates a totally original listening experience. Not to be missed.
Reviews:
'...where Kate Bush might have gone.' (Lucy O'Brien - DIVA)
'...an exciting mixture of cabaret, pop and belcanto.' (Abend - Hamburg)
'...phenomenal...echoes of somewhere near an existing reality.' (Lithuanian Guardian)
'...spellbinding.' (Normandie Media)
'They dont come stranger than this. Twin sisters Cathryn V and Lucie Robson make evocative art music with their marvellous voices as the focal point. They are whimsical and utterly serious, often in the space of the same song. The music is a meeting of british progressive music and german cabaret. The sisters vocal experimentation has them sounding both like world weary vamps and cartoon animals. They juggle such contrasts with great skill. Its not always easy on the ear, but always refreshingly original. Siren Circus is the sort of a band that comes along once in a blue moon and they should be treasured.' (Anna-Maria Stjarnell - Collected Sounds)
