“Sianna Lee’s debut is special: a surprising, rewarding listen that instantly propels one back to the excitement of listening to Lee’s music seven whole years ago…Lee has returned with all the energy, sincerity and magnetism she’d always promised.

Asie Incomplete announces her return, guitars crashing behind Lee’s soprano, breathing the repeated refrain, “you are what I want”. The rock aspects - the riff heavy Molten, the catchy-as-hell The Final Outpost - are satisfying without being self-aware. But it’s the album’s pretty moments that stand out. You Are The Sea and The Mercenary In Me, co-written with the Sarah Blasko collaborator Robert Cranny, are superb, as is the slow-building Behepa. There are moments that are instantly gratifying; others reveal themselves slowly. Layered voices and carefully plucked guitar twist around a voice that is clear sharp and always on edge.

…Lee’s guitar-work is expansive, ranging from subtly melodic to forcefully histrionic, but guitars alone struggle to match the emotional range and the sheer drama of her voice and her lyrics.”

Melbourne artist, Sianna Lee is currently in the process of recording her debut solo album, which will be released on Enchanted Recordings next year. Sianna is best known to some as the lead singer and principal songwriter from the band, Love Outside Andromeda. The band released two albums through Shock and were the darlings of the alternative radio airwaves, before breaking up in 2007 to pursue other projects.

Sianna played in support of theredsunband in 2008, bringing her new solo work to the attention of Enchanted Recordings.

Sarah Kelly - vocalist proponent of theredsunband - will lend support to the Postlobsterman “Concert and Art Exhibition”, 8pm Tuesday 17th March, at the Hopetoun Hotel, Surry Hills.

Lobsterman is a prolific artist of great depth - and more significantly, breadth - who makes people like Jack Ladder and Holly Throsby want to meet Ross Clelland, just so they can say they know someone who knows him.

Sarah Kelly doesn’t have that trouble since they watch footy together all the time. Not only will the music of Sarah and Lobster be visible on the night, but the inimitable brushwork of Lobster will also be audible.
