#alternative #industrial

Morning Ritual is pleased to announce the debut release from London's Eaux.

Eaux is the new project of former Sian Alice Group members Sian Ahern, Stephen Warrington and Ben Crook. Whilst still centering around the soaring vocals of Ahern, the group delves deeper into the darker electronic elements of their previous outfit with the inclusion of drum pads and samplers, pulsating percussive sequencers and layers of synths, intensifying the sound with hypnotic guitar arpeggios and bass loops. Structuring their songs to work with the constraints of a live sound, the trio switch between instruments, sounds and rhythmic patterns. From within this musical framework, Sian's uniquely beautiful voice effortlessly weaves together understated pop melodies with elements of folk, 60s psych & avant pop, German Kosmische and electronic music, to early British Industrial and Detroit techno.

The AA side single was recorded by Shuta Shinoda at the Tin Rooms in London and mastered by Noel Summerville(Autechre, Efterklang, My Bloody Valentine)

Sian Ahern’s vocals wash gorgeously over a soft beat and melody as the song grows steadily to a dreamy crescendo. - Dummy mag

Rising from the ashes of Sian Alice Group, Eaux continue to sound enthralling encapsulating that dark, bewitching spirit perfectly, slowly drawing you in with Sian’s gliding vocals and the delicate, unobtrusive accompaniment from her band. - Abeano

Seaux good - Noisey

Storms in teacups, and strong words, softly spoken. A most terrific noise - Ad Hoc fm

Ahern’s crystalline vocals guide the way towards oblivion. - Pitchfork

Slow Burning bubbling electronics and post rock riffs. - Time Out London

Eerily sultry vocals drifting over breaks and trembles of adrenaline spiked distortion effects. Billowy cloud filled beats build and build as they collide with subtle futuristic notes, like a jet fighter video game in slow motion. - Yours Truly SF

Sian's unique and mesmerising voice provides the perfect counterpart for understated pop sounds with elements of folk, 60s psych, avant pop and early British Industrial. - Dazed and Confused
