SIIGHTS announce new EP, ‘Somewhere Between Lost and Found’

SIIGHTS have just announced details of brand new EP ‘Somewhere Between Lost and Found’, which will see a release on Insanity Records  and is available to pre-save now. Featuring lead single ‘Fake It’, the hotly-tipped duo teased the news with recent track ‘Stay A While’, also confirming further live activity including a tour with Dylan, an appearance at this year’s TRNSMT festival, and more to come.

‘Somewhere Between Lost and Found’ begins an exciting new era for SIIGHTS. Entirely written, played and self-produced by the band, throughout SIIGHTS explore that limbo between heartbreak and happiness, a bumpy ground of love and loss. An EP, in many ways, about the loss of control, it’s also the sound of SIIGHTS taking charge, and finding themselves: whether exploring illness (‘Deeper Water’), grief (‘Home’) or new love’s thrills (‘Fake It’) and consequences (‘Stay A While’), what’s emerged is a collection of warm, wise-beyond-their-years songs about the relationship you ultimately have with yourself.

Raised in Dublin and Glasgow respectively, SIIGHTS first came into view by chance in Los Angeles, where Mia and Toni were hustling in the studio for others. A fish-out-of-water experience, even after the most gruelling days there proved to be an obvious connection between the pair (whether in the music they longed to make for themselves, or a shared Gaelic humour). Today, SIIGHTS seek to mix the harmonies, alt-pop and female empowerment of their childhood heroes - HAIM, Alanis Morrissette and Taylor Swift - as experienced by a new gen of young women online, working it all out in plain sight. There is, clearly, more to SIIGHTS than meets the eye: the double I’s represent their two identities, but also allude to deeper allusions across the band’s work - whether foresight, hindsight, or the broadened horizons they long to make in the creative industries.
