Info for Far from the Sun

3rd album from Stockholm-based Swedish jam/hippie rockers. Siena Root have build up a solid reputation through the years for being a helluva live act, as well as bringing out some really good songs in the 70's psych-rock style with influences from classic rockers like Led Zeppelin & Captain Beyond. The band have spent several years on the road and Far From The Sun, which they've been working on for more than a year, is better-played and written: with swirling sitars, grooving guitar riffs and challenging song structures. Most likely Siena Root's strongest release to date, Far From The Sun is gonna move ya!

Very impressive and skilled song writing, here well packed in a genuine early 70s sound. If you like bands like Uriah Heep, Mountain and Leaf Hound, you'll love this one.

Siena Root
is an experienced live act and an experimental project with its roots in analogue old school rock music. The group was founded in Stockholm in the late ‘90s. The sound is classic but yet original, based on heavy organ, howling guitars, bass riffing and big drums. It is also often enriched with bluesy soulful vocals, various guest musicians and psychedelic vibes.

Siena Root is well known for its unique spectra of appearances, its many great guest artists, its broad musical range and its different interpretations of rock music. Yet, with a foundation in a traditional quintet, and a sound rooted in late 60s analogue gear. Don't expect to experience the same Siena Root show twice.

In the sense that blues is blue, hard rock is black, and reggae is pan African coloured, this music has the colour of siena. It is a warm colour, originally from the muddy roots of the earth. Because this sound has roots that go deep, it was also natural to let root be a part of the bands name.

Four full length studio albums, one live album, one DVD and two 7” singles have been released so far, each one marking the development and refinement of the bands diverse style. Through touring the music has developed in such a way, that jamming and improvising has become an essential element, always keeping you on the edge of your seat. A Siena Root concert is dramatic and exciting, visually, as well as emotionally. It's a dynamic root rock experience.

This album contains no booklet.
