Sighrens

Artist Biography For Sighrens

Sighrens Started As A Myspace Musical Project Http //www.Myspace.Com/sighrens07
This Was Conceived By Two Long-Time Friends Griff And Gordon Who Hail Originally From Stirlingshire Scotland. The Aim Of The Project Was To Try To Express The Feelings And Ideas Associated With Loss Regret Loneliness Times Lost And Regained Childhood Memories Failed Dreams And New Hopes. Additionally The Project Was An Opportunity To Make Music With Absolutely No Commercial Angle And Was An Attempt To Produce Something Simple Honest And Non-Pecuniary Which Could Be Enjoyed Free By Anyone Who Wished To Do So. For This Reason All Sighrens Songs Are Always Freely Downloadable. Since March 2008 Jill Has Added Occasional Backing Vocals And Mixing Advice. The Music And Lyrics Are Written By Self-Taught Multi-Instrumentalist Griff And The Percussion Provided By Gordon. A Shared Love Of Indie/folk Music And A History Of Failed Small-Time Band Membership Brought Them Together For One Last Hurrah. The Musical Influences Cited On The Myspace Page Are 'Pillows & Prayers' Johnny Marr Ivor Cutler Jake Thackray Neil Hannon Lou Reed Ennio Morricone Leonard Cohen Robert Wyatt Brian Wilson Sufjan Stevens Hank Williams Sr. Matt McGinn. The Myspace Page Also Describes Them As Sounding Like 'naive Lo-Fi Acoustic Songs Of Love Loss And Regret'. The Songs Certainly Contain A Strong Strain Of Melancholia And While The Band Prefer To Use The Genre Term 'lo-Fi' To Describe Them They Are Often Described By Listeners As Best Fitting Into The Indie-Folk Category But With A Distinctly Scottish Flavour. Griff Has Stated That His Aim Musically Was "to Find A Sound That Was Part Indie-Pop And Part Folk But Uniquely Sighrens. A Sound That Could Only Be Made By Two Indie Outsiders From A Small Town In Scotland." Ultimately Sighrens Sound Is Best Described As Naive And Under-Produced But Heartfelt. The Songs Are Performed Using Traditional Acoustic Intruments Such As Guitar Mandolin Egg-Shaker And Glockenspiel. They Are Written And Recorded Quite Quickly At Home In The Traditional Lo-Fi Way To Capture The Raw Feel. The Songs From Their First Year In Myspace Are Available On The CD 'aon'. The Songs From Their Second Year In Myspace Are Available On The CD 'dha'.
