The Sian Alice Group was one of the most criminally overlooked British groups of the last fives years or so. They made epic, surreal “ethereal” music that always reminded me of being drunk on a plane; with the crazily intense emotional levels that alcohol, altitude, and being confined in a tight space can give you. Like when you’re crying to Shrek 2 on gin and tonic #8.I liked their music so much, I think I used pretty much every track they ever recorded to soundtrack the documentaries we made on VBS and VICE.com over the past few years. The melancholic, trippy feel perfectly fit the docs I made with Leo Leigh, like Swansea Love Story, Beautiful Liverpool, and the one about Blackpool. (Am I blowing my own trumpet/plugging old work enough here? I hope so.)Read the full interview over at Noisey.
