Info for Kaleidoscope

We are happy to announce a re-issue of long time sold out album ”Kaleidoscope” from 2006. Re-release is remastered from the original master tapes by Sam & Love.

Psychedelic music at its best, merged with soulful female vocals, Sitars, Hammond organ, fuzz, jamming and lots of heavy riffs. This is Siena Roots 2nd album, recorded and mixed analogue.

On the first track the Led Zeppelin influence again is obvious. This progressive hard rock style is not just a copy (even if they take a rhythmical riff from Zeppelin somewhere), but the original thing, in the true spirit of the '70s, with complexity, spontaneity, compositional strength and a hard rocking vibe. This release exceeded all my already big expectations for the group. Most of it has all the qualities of a future classic, which proves that the '70s are vey much alive. A great album.

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.
