Siskiyou, Colin Huebert and Erik Arnesen(Great Lake Swimmers) arrive with their beautiful lo-fi folk-rock for a show at Schokoladen, just in time you’d agree, with those first Siberian winds urging us all to stay indoors and play dead under the blankets. However, when you have Schokoladen on a Saturday night to look forward to with bands of this quality then the decision makes itself.
Their second LP, Keep Away The Dead, was released in October on Constellation Records and has garnered much praise:
As far as desperately sad records go, Keep Away The Dead is near enough as beautiful as they come. There aren’t many people who can cover ‘Revolution Blues’ and not only get away with it, but make it so completely and utterly their own…It might not seem like it at first, but Keep Away The Dead, for all its emotional wreckage, does exactly what its title suggests.
Have a listen and hear why:
Here’s Never Ever Ever Ever Again, from their eponymous debut, a quiet beginner but wait for that gorgeous expolsion of guitar near the end:
