New single: HOW NOT TO DROWN
Lauren Mayberry (singer/lyricist): “It’s about a time when
I just wanted to disappear, and the only time I ever thought
about quitting the band. I felt like I was in over my head at
the deep end and not sure how to get back.”
How Not To Drown is a three-part composition. Starting with
a poppy disco vibe, followed by a vocal Robert Smith (The Cure)
moment, and ending with a dreamy wall-of-synths finale. Oh,
almost forgot, the chorus is emotionally titan. Top stuff.

SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES With French Xmas Carol ‘I’l EST NÉ, LE DIVIN’…
Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…
21 December 2018
Back in 1982 SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, with The Cure‘s Robert Smith as temporary member, covered a traditional French Christmas carol called ‘I’l Est Né Divin Enfant‘ (‘He is born, the divine child’) which was published for the first time in 1862 by the organist of the Cathedral of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. It was released as the B-side on the single ‘Melt‘, a great track from their excellent A Kiss In The Dreamhouse. Siouxsie in French, pretty special…
Hallelujah! Let’s all sing for peace,
tolerance, equality and unity…
