Dani Siciliano 'Dani Siciliano' (Circus Company)
Parisian label Circus Company Records has a strong reputation for in-depth electronica, releasing material from the likes of Nicolas Jaar, Nôze and dOP. Tricksy diva Dani Siciliano is a comfortable fit with the rest of its catalogue: the American singer first came to prominence via collaborations with her (now ex) husband Matthew Herbert, but is now on her third solo album. The adventurous spirt of Björk springs to mind, but Siciliano’s uniquely jazzy voice makes these songs unmistakeably her own. The breathily folkish ‘Together’ recalls Beth Orton, ‘Why’ sounds like a robot orchestra and ‘So Amazing’ even musters the blues. An album with a desire to try new things, combined with a likeable journey into alternative pop.
