Info for A New Day Dawning

„Für ihre herrlich naive Hippie-Ästhetik, die konsequent vom Cover über die mit Paisleys überlagerten Bandfotocollagen bis zum Seventies-Freak-Look der vier Musiker durchgezogen wird, muss man Siena Root zumindest ein bisschen gern haben. Ob man sie auch für ihren hoffnungslos antiquierten Kiffer-Sound lieben kann, steht auf einem anderen Blatt. Die Promobeauftragten versuchen, das Quartett als heißen Tipp für alle Mother Tongue-Fans zu verkaufen, aber das haut nur sehr bedingt hin. Auf ihrem Debüt 'A New Day Dawning' ist weder Funk noch Punk zu spüren, und Siena Root klingen auch bei weitem nicht so unverkennbar wie Mother Tongue. Ihre Bezugspunkte sind immer offen präsent, ob nun Organist Oskar Lundström unermüdlich den Jon Lord gibt, sie bei 'What Can I Do' den Basslauf von 'Hey Joe' zitieren oder es bei 'Until Time Leaves Us Again' mal kurz á la 'Riders On The Storm' klimpern lassen. Nein, originell ist das Songwriting der Schweden nicht, aber zugute halten kann man Siena Root, dass ihre Heldenverehrung sehr von Herzen kommt, dass sie so unverbesserlich optimistisch sind und fest an das glauben, was sie da machen. Sie spielen auch die abgenudeltsten Siebziger-Hardrockstandards noch mit beeindruckender Hingabe. Nur sind das letztendlich zu wenig Gründe, statt Sabbath, Purple oder Doors 'A New Day Dawning' aufzulegen.“ (Dirk Siepe, visions.de)

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.
