Siggy: 25th Century
Siggy feigns hope for the ‘25th Century’ in their proto-punk album.
From the sun-bleached streets of LA, Siggy is here to permeate our minds with the repercussions of our lascivious sin and share a glimmer of hope with their album, 25th century. After remaining firmly banded in their proto-punk-esque Rock n Roll reverence since the release of their debut album, Harlow’s Girl, in 1999, Siggy is still in spectacular form throughout their LP. The 2022 album melds Iggy Pop-reminiscent vocals with ever-evolving guitar tones that will easily appease fans of The Mekons, Television, and The Damned. Consisting of Galen Buckwalter (Vocals) Ryan Howes (Guitars, Backup Vocals), Paul Netherton, (Drums) and Deborah Buckwalter (Bass, Backup Vocals) Siggy takes you right to the source of the contemporary proto-punk hype through the standout single Synaesthesia, which conceptually paints in vibrant colour while lyrically unpacking the titular phenomenon.
Siggy said: “25th Century, brings a message grounded firmly in hope, with the fury and the rank psychic pathology of the 21st-Century. We don't have endless spins around the sun to leave our mark; will it be for the betterment of our progeny or "to die with some useless toys." Synesthesia is an anthem to everything we do not yet know, from feeling our dreams in the color green to painting throaty lullabies from palettes of notes. If we do not yet understand the edge cases of our sensory processing, how much learning do we have to look forward to till we grock the likes of the free energy principle and string theory?”
