SIENNA - Lonesome Man EP

Our homegrown recording this time around is “Lonesome Man”, a 6 track EP from Kinross based SIENNA.
Formed in the Summer of 2011 as an acoustic trio, they quickly grew to be a five piece band by the end of  last year.  The current line up features Danny McAtear and Stella Reilly on vocals, with Ross Mathieson, Andy Clarke and Benn Watt. They are a bit hard to box into any particular label, with influences of Americana, folk & rockabilly.
The music on this short collection will certainly appeal to Americana fans, with some neat harmonies between Danny & Stella. The instrumentation is simple but effective.  All six songs are originals, five written by Danny, and one , “Weekend Girl” by Andy. Most of the songs are quite slow, a style that seems to go down well on the Americana circuit.
“Slow Down” and the title track are the stand out tracks for me.  “Lonesome Man” picks up the tempo quite nicely.
A pleasent listen.
