Sasha Siem
‘See Through’ (LISTEN)
“bewitchingly complex rhythms and swirling drama” – Wonderland Magazine
“intelligence that places her among a pack of similarly singular artists like Andrew Bird and Joanna Newsom” – Q Magazine
“demands every single bit of your bolt-upright attention” – The Line Of Best Fit
Sasha Siem has revealed a new track ‘See Through’ off the back of recent single ‘Proof‘. Anglo-Norwegian Siem has also announced a headline show at London’s Village Underground on Tuesday June 10 where she will be joined on stage by her producer, Valgeir Sigurðsson (Sigur Ros, Bjork, Bonnie Prince Billy, Feist). The live date will be Sasha’s first London show since performing at The Linbury Studio Theatre at the Royal Opera House and at the Kings Place Festival in 2013.
Produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson and recorded at Reykjavik’s legendary Greenhouse Studios, ‘See Through’ is an astonishing collision of Siem’s contradictory influences: her fascination for likeminded lovers of innovative song-writing such as Andrew Bird and Joanna Newsom, and her youthful love of classic crooners such as Sinatra.
Siem began playing the piano at the age of five, picked up the cello soon after, and by the age of 11 found herself studying at London’s Guildhall at weekends, with the path she was to follow throughout her academic career now clear. By her mid 20s – having studied at Cambridge and, later, Harvard – she had composed for, amongst others, the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, while in 2010 she won a prestigious British Composer Award.
