We first wrote about Stockholm, Sweden based CAJSA SIIK in 2014 when we found her rumbled cortification “adorable and hypnotic…”
She has since been described as a mix of Daughter, Kate Bush and Bats For Ashes.
We thought her vocals on “Relentless Delight” were “wonderfully sparged – as if fed through accompaniments like a bubble diffuser…”
Following on from her highly acclaimed 2014 sophomore album titled Contra [State of Low reviewed here] the musician returns with her latest full-length ‘Domino’ — due out on the 2nd June via Birds Records.
It will include singles ‘Talk To Trees’, ‘White Noise’, and ‘Empire Mine’.
Much like her previous releases, Cajsa Siik will aim to parcel-up some pop sensibility into what is actually an avant-garde and experimental tendency.
Recorded in Stockholm with producer Rolf Klinth – ‘Domino’ sees the songbird commence on a far more valiant direction than with her past material, though she still aims to maintain a core sound.
The record’s lead single ‘Talk To Trees’ demonstrates her intentions perfectly. She uses collaborations with Thomas Hedlund (Phoenix, Deportees) & Rasmus Kellerman (Tiger Lou) with Carl Ekerstam to add texture and depth to the sounds, making it the perfect introduction to the album ahead.
She has described the track [check below] as : “colourful dreamy zone where I felt connected with reasons and beliefs. Like a subconscious talk with nature. Like a blessing or a blind spot.”
Speaking about the album, Cajsa explained, “DOMINO can be described in two different ways. First I wanted it to represent the fact that we’re all connected to each other and that we have a responsibility towards each other and this world. To shoulder that responsibility is easier said than done, but we must try. Be aware. Not only mind our own business. I’ve given that a lot of thought lately. Secondly, every song on this album depends and relies on the other. Together they create a unit and the unit is supposed to be diverse. I aimed for creating a dynamic album.”
‘Domino’ is due to be released on the 2nd June 2017 via Birds Records, and her lead single ‘Talk To Trees’ is available for download.
