Sis, Lady Lazarus (closing set), Suzanne Vallie

SisSis is a band. While a sole composer/singer begins the process sketching lyrics and melodies alone in a room, the rest is a serendipitous, scary and smooth recording combustion between players in the studio. The music of their debut album Euphorbia is an experiment in soulful R&B romantics with an undercurrent of breathless risk. While a disparate array of influences materializes on the record Euphorbia, from Sade to Steve Reich, something truly new is created the collective energy from each player’s musical lineage. They've since released a single "Nightie," an ode to the restless hypnotis of Talking Heads, to be included on their forthcoming sophomore LP, recorded with drummer Otto Hauser (Devendra Banhart, Elvis Perkins), and percussionist Brijean Murphy (Toro Y Moi).Suzanne Vallie"Suzanne Vallie writes unusual folk songs that are at times sweet and childlike, and at other times haunting and seductive.
A roots-y aesthetic runs through her music, and her lyrics
paint vivid (and often weird) pictures of small town, rural life
Her honest, unadorned voice rings beautifully over her often
spare arrangements…"
