Cajsa Siik takes your breath away on dramatic new single "White Noise"

14 March 2017, 13:01 | Written by Laurence Day

Swedish singer/songwriter Cajsa Siik is sharing "White Noise", the latest taste of upcoming long-player Domino.

The track follows "Talk To Trees" and sees Siik fuse spaced-out wafers of sound with folk-pop hooks. It's a climactic cut that thrives on contrasts - "White Noise" is a song that feels simultaneously infinite and intimate - and sends you into a dizzy spiral as it approaches a breathless finalé.

"In the beginning - time was stretching its back," Siik says of the song. "White noise - backwards - reasons I forgot behind - in the light. A navigation through the mayhem of frequencies. Through the explosive power and deafening silence. The two-facedness and the honesty. To forget and to be reminded. To learn how to trust."

The Umeå-born artist is readying the follow up to her 2015 AA-side and 2014 LP Contra. Domino is produced with Rolf Klinth (Tiger Lou) in Stockholm.

"I've stared myself down, letting the words roam free - feeling like a superhero as well as my own worst enemy," says Siik of Domino. "I had a feeling of wanting to explode. Bombs and cannons. Riding the high in every way, shape and form. I then realised that even a discouraged whisper is of itself an explosion. The name Domino stems from every story having its own part to play, yet partaking in summing up the whole. I want Domino to shimmer and chafe."

Siik is set to play London's Old Blue Last on 1 June.

Domino is released 2 June via Birds Records.
