***THE SIEGE is proud to announce their latest vinyl release, Conditions. Conditions is a concept album that tells the story of soldier, Roland H. Brewer, as he returns home from war, paranoid and unable to adjust to society. A captivating six tracks, this mini-LP seamlessly weaves guitar lines, rhythmic percussions, drones, pad synthesizers, and a host of other found sounds into a hauntingly beautiful sonic brocade of melody emitting the shadowy energies of post-punk and dark wave. While the album displays hints of indy rock, techno, and many other elements, no single style overpowers the aesthetic, and the sound remains staunchly in the vein of experimental electronica. The Siege painstaking distilled sounds for this album from countless corners and constructed this album organically, over time. The Siege believes in allowing the music to occur through the natural order of things, preferring to let vocals and rhythms present themselves rather than forcing synthesis or following trends, which we find is so often the case among the vast oceans of today’s music. This music oozes passion, and brother’s DREW and PIPÉ are unafraid to show the roots from which their original musical inspirations grew. In the end, Conditions is a journey well worth the travel, encompassing the dark and rugged spirits of Manchester and Detroit, but also the trailblazing ingenuity of futures to come.
LP $15.50
