Review: Sian Alice Group - 59:59
Sian Alice Group is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalists Rupert Clerveaux and Ben Crook, with the group’s über-talented line-up completed by Sian Ahern (vocals), Sasha Vine (piano, vocals, violin), Andy Ingle (guitars) and Douglas Hart (bass). The group’s debut album 59:59– a title matched by the record’s length in minutes and seconds– is a wonderfully intoxicating dart of leftfield post-rock, which fuses a range of disparate genres with startling success. Moments of drone-inspired ambience (as on Interlude 19′39”, As the Morning Light) sit comfortably alongside the psychedelic dirge of Way Down To Heaven and Motionless, glimpses of free jazz / improv (on the introduction to When…) and the spaced out aesthetic of When… and Heartless. With 59:59 Sian Alice Group present an advanced listening that contemporaries Portishead, Sigur Ros and Radiohead would be proud of.
