SIOBHAN - Body Double
Edition of 187 copies. "Since at least Y2K, SIOBHAN has been talking about alien reflections of southern Detroit lifestyles. You can source this thru their total discography – such as in “SOUTHGATE” [LP released on opal tapes 2016] – in which SIOBHAN tells many tales rendered from the psyche of the outer drive wanderer. If you are actually familiar with the zone, these are immediately relevant and nerve inducing."- Nostilevo.
"Siobhan’s second LP “Body Double” kicks into gear with back to back pure cyber sludge headbangers; decaying into an abandoned outlet mall like some dusty South Pole carpenter shorts & a pair of beat down Iverson’s.
Only to wake up from a K hole to find yourself in the passenger seat face to face with Father Peter driving drunk and naked around Dearborn, receiving a tortured reverse confessional, before being dumped off at the marathon plant, while Father Peter enters Melvindale’s premier gentlemen’s club the Landing strip to experience virgin euphoria, Only a G String! Before quickly being put in handcuffs and escorted to the Wayne County jail in Greektown.

Crumb cartoon become all too real, Halfway home now a pitstop at the Dix Meijer For hydration and protein, The busted 94 Thunderbirds exhaust leak bleeds into the leased hellcats sound system; the brain rattles loose as you devour a Baffo’s Pepperoni Roll & fruit punch BodyArmor.
