This is the first new material by
Siena Root in 3 years. The title track the band has been playing in their live
set for a year or so. This is the last recorded material with
multi-instrumentalist KG West, who has now left the band. Conveniently Blind
(plays on 45rpm) is the first material to features the new singer Jonas Ahlen.
This is a straight up Siena Root 70s roots rock track with some nice organ and
guitar work. The whole band sounds great. Mishra Kafi is a 5½ min instrumental
track that is based on a composted sitar piece for the start and then half way
through a melodic hard rock build up kicks in and KG plays like a lead guitar
line on the sitar that sounds really cool and then the last guitar section he
switches back to his trusty Stratocaster! Great song and 7”.. I think it is
pressed in 1000 copies. I can’t wait for the full length record later this
year!
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
