Siskiyou is an acclaimed artist known for their unique blend of folk, indie rock, and experimental music. With introspective lyrics and haunting melodies, *Siskiyou* creates a captivating musical experience that resonates with listeners. Drawing inspiration from artists such as The Wooden Birds and Breathe Owl Breathe, *Siskiyou* has carved out their own distinct sound in the music industry.

Formed by singer-songwriter Colin Huebert, formerly of the band Great Lake Swimmers, *Siskiyou* has released several critically acclaimed albums including "Keep Away the Dead" and "Not Somewhere". Their music showcases a deep emotional depth and vulnerability that connects with audiences on a profound level.

*Siskiyou's* live performances are equally mesmerizing, with their raw energy and passionate delivery captivating crowds around the world. Whether performing solo or with a full band, *Siskiyou* leaves a lasting impression on concert-goers with their powerful stage presence.

siskiyou is the new group led by former great lake swimmers member colin huebert in collaboration with erik arnesen (who still plays with the swimmers) and musician / filmmaker karolyn keir. the group is based in vancouver, canada where huebert has recently settled after a stint working on an organic farm following his departure from the swimmers. this is their eponymous debut album. huebert had channelled these songs with immediacy and austerity, recording dozens of tunes at home with only voice and guitar, generally within minutes of their conception, as an exercise in unmediated documentation. from this audio sketchbook, huebert and arnesen began building gently ornate arrangements on top of various tunes, recording overdubs in itinerant fashion in hallways, stairwells, bathrooms and parks throughout the vancouver area. banjo, piano, accordion and electric guitar play the lead roles in adorning colin's initial acoustic guitar sketches. the resulting collection of songs thrums with a scrupulous lo-fi backwoods energy and restraint. the music has been described as perfectly conjuring the lush, crisp yet often chilly landscape of the pacific northwest, and we tend to agree. constellation are thrilled to present this first set of self-recorded, self-produced songs by siskiyou - following the release of their debut free digital single (a cover of simon and garfunkel's 'el condor pasa') in june 2010.
