SIVU SWEET SWEET SILENT

'Sweet Sweet Silent' is the new single from Sivu. Coming fresh of the back of a performance at this year's Glastonbury Festival, and taken from his forthcoming second record of the same name - due 7 July via Square Leg Records - it is a typically poignant affair from the talented singer-songwriter. Inspired by his diagnosis with Meniere’s syndrome, which has seen his hearing deteriorate over the last two years, the thought-provoking outing plays upon Sivu's idiosyncratic vocal and, along with string-infused production from Charlie Andrew (alt-J, Marika Hackman), it's a song which continues to prove what a standout UK indie artist he is. Sweet, sweet brilliance. -G.O'B
