For a long time the British Neo-Classic / Neofolk band SIEBEN
and their singer and virtuoso Matt Howden have provided the
world with an impressive sound : catchy and stirring tunes,
ritual trance loops and an emotional voice. These
characteristics have turned the last two releases into highly
praised and adored albums. As the title may suggest, this new
style "Desire Rites", deals with more personal and immediate
topics.
The 'rites of desire ask for more cutting sounds, precise
rhythms and more direct lyrics. While SIEBEN's earlier works
focussed dreamy, remote harmonies and fantasies, we are now
confronted with stronger beats, a pulse of emotions which are
even more hypnotic and driving than before. In the context of
this deeply personal universe which reflects drastic personal
changes in the life of Matt Howden, he demonstrates that he is a
universal genius: He completed the album alone - without the
help of guest musicians. Those who have had the chance to
experience Matt Howden live will find the raw energy and passion
he unleashes on stage in this very album. He simply takes his
violin and uses his artistic intuition to create this unique
powerful sound of his.
"Desire Rites" comes presented in a precious digipak and
presents the lyrics in an atmospheric 28-pages booklet which
visualizes the topics. It is designed by Howden's favourite
designer Paul Jackson, whose artwork has already graced the most
recent releases of Neo-folk legend CURRENT 93.
