Music Monday/Feral Spotlight:Sandi Sirocco

Sandi Sirocco is a London-based four piece Electropop / Electrodisco band formed in Spring 2009. They evoke the spirit of lost mythology like Discotheque sirens and sunburnt sailors riding a sensual electronic pulse of sandstorms and Mediterranean steam. On the surface their sound updates the vibrating rhythms of Computer Disco and Synthpop with the crispness of modern Electro and RnB. Mixing the sound of Moby-Dick Records, Giorgio Moroder, Jacno, Chrisma and Abba with contemporary influences like the Knife, J.U.S.T.I.C.E., Timbaland, Dr Dre and OutKast. Their melodies steal the emotion and structure of 1960s and 1970s European Pop divas like Mina and Patty Pravo whose lineage derives through Classical composers from Wagner to Bach, as well as hints of Eastern divas from Googoosh to Fairuz.

1 on 1 with Little Comets

Q: Can you start by describing your sound?

Rob: I think we try and make pretty melodic, percussive music dealing with quite dark subject matter, but with jaunty melodies. It’s hard to do!

Q: So disguising the dark subject matter?

Rob: Yeah, you could say that!

Q: The phrase ‘Kitchen Sink Indie’ has been used to describe you, care to comment?

Rob: It might just be lazy journalism, as we do mention a kitchen and a sink separately in a couple of songs, so they could have just put the two together, or it might be an interesting description.

Q: So it’s not a reference to classic ‘kitchen sink dramas’?

Rob: I think a lot of the lyrics do deal with an objects perspective on a relationship or social situation, so there might be something in it.

Q: There are a diverse set of influences listed on your website, people like Roald Dahl and Ella Fitzgerald, did you write that or is someone else responsible for it?

Rob: Yeah I think you could site those as some of our influences, like the imagination of Roald Dahl and with classical music as well, like Elgar and Debussy. There’s a lot to take from it.

1 on 1 with Passion Pit

Q: The first question is about new music.  Who’s doing it for you at the moment?

Mike – Theophilus London is a friend of mine and I love his music.  It’s melodic hip-hop from a real personality.  I’m a fan of pop personalities and he certainly has one.  He came out of Brooklyn, has a great stage presence and I think he’s going to go a long way.  It’s exciting to see him at this stage in his career.

Jeff – Fanfarlo is a personal favourite– I’d always heard their name around, but the first time I saw them was at Vibe Bar, London.  I was blown away by them – they had a total Brian Eno/David Byrne, kinda Talking Heads theme going on.  I thought they were brilliant

Q: It sounds like you guys get a lot of great opportunities to see live shows on tour. Are there places on the map mean a lot to you from a musical perspective?

Jeff – Red Bank New Jersey, because in ‘97 when I was in high school, Ari Katz who’s the singer of a punk group called Lifetime opened up a record shop called Black Katz.  So I used to go down there when I was a little fat kid, about 12 and I would talk to him about records and he’d pitch new stuff to me and because I used to be a fan of his I’d be kind of star struck

Q – Can you still have that kind of experience in America?  Because unfortunately Independent record stores in the UK have largely disappeared

Jeff – Well that place is a beauty salon now. But that wasn’t so much to do with how the record industry was going it was because where is was taxes were going through the roof and forcing people to move out

Michael – In Harvard Square there’s a number of record shops that order from distributors who are overlooked by everyone else so you can get everything. Also Boston has a lot of good record collectors who digitise stuff and bring it to these stores

Q – Do you guys collect music to use in your production?

Michael – We did very little sampling on the new record.  For instance we’d drag an MP3 into a sampler and create a synthesiser out of it, but only because I didn’t have any synthesiser programmes, but I wouldn’t necessarily call that sampling.  Also, we were advised against sampling, but there is Mary ‘O Hara on Sleepy Head, that was the first time I ever used a sample. It was a little Kanye of me.
