SIGHTINGS - City of Straw

Crafting a lasting personal aesthetic in the midst of our ephemeral music culture is as rare as it is cause for celebration. With the release of City of Straw Brooklyns SIGHTINGS can be counted among the few contemporary bands who have forged a unique voice amongst the racket. Recorded over a number of months in 2009 at The Ocropolis (Oneidas Brooklyn, NY studio), the bands seventh studio album becomes the crucible from which their grandest and most coherent statement finally emerges. With a deep reach beyond the spirit of their influence from greats like Birthday Party, Dead C and Jesus Lizard, City of Straw finds Sightings working at the peak of their creative powers and is the perfect re-introduction to one of New Yorks most accomplished bands. - Brah.
