SIIGHTS have today dropped new EP Through Thick And Thin, which is available now on Insanity Records. Having toured with the likes of Lana Del Rey, Dylan and Griff, SIIGHTS are also fresh from their first ever headline tour, including a sold-out London show at The Grace and dual sold-out homecoming dates in Dublin and Glasgow.
Through Thick and Thin is a five-track EP in which SIIGHTS sets themes of growth, loss, empowerment and self-acceptance to some of the band’s most indelible melodies thus far. Drawing on influences ranging from the classic rock of The Runaways to new-gen alt-pop heroes like Muna, songs variously chart the overthinking, talking-stage of a new romance (‘Words’) right through to ending up alone again, in the so-called city of love (‘6AM To Paris’).
Beneath its pristine, uplifting sound, Through Thick And Thin also explores deeper emotional journeys. ‘Miss You’ may sound like a breakup anthem but is in fact a moving meditation on grief; ‘Fragile’, too, acknowledges the idea of being mentally present even in the face of mortality. Clearly growing in confidence as artists, producers and young women, SIIGHTS now manifest a form of self-belief that they hope will encourage listeners to back themselves, too: the stadium-sized chorus of ‘All My Life’ speaks to the need for self-love over romantic infatuation, with a musical and spiritual bond between the pair that has truly seen Mia and Toni themselves persevere Through Thick And Thin.
Through Thick And Thin was written, performed and produced by SIIGHTS between NYC, LA, Stockholm, London and Mia’s Dublin home studio. The EP – conceived as part one of two – also sees SIIGHTS open themselves up to collaboration; notably with Grammy Award-winning producer Jenn Decilveo (The Strokes, Miley Cyrus) and platinum-selling Bastian Langebaek (Nilüfer Yanya, Anna of the North). By owning every aspect of the creative process, and visibly pouring their very essence into songwriting, the duo hope to inspire more up-and-coming female musicians to take control in a notoriously male-dominated industry. And it’s this continued belief in positive change, and the next meaningful human connection, that makes SIIGHTS one of the UK’s most hopeful pop prospects. Watch out for more to follow soon.
