Praise for ‘Sweet Sweet Silent’
“A brave and beautiful album…music that might be by Thom Yorke, if the latter were friendlier” Sunday Times Culture
“Returning with unflinching honesty and beauty…remarkable” Dork Magazine
“An eerie, subtle thing…beguiling” Observer
“A meditative and beautifully introverted return” Clash

Sivu shares a new single ‘Four Leaf Clover Love’ taken from his most recent and beautifully constructed EP ‘This Unfruitful Love’. This single is accompanied by a lyric video, and much like James’ previous creative and conceptual video ideas, it stirs up feelings of nostalgia, transporting you back to the earlier times of modern technology and communication.
With the swift and endless production of brand new telephone devices, this lyric video floods back memories of a more simpler time where you’d find yourself wasting many hours on your Nokia device trying to beat your best score on Snake.
Watch ‘Four Leaf Clover Love’

‘Four Leaf Clover Love’ continues along the deeply personal musical journey that surrounds Sivu’s second album, ‘Sweet Sweet Silent’. The record was conceived in sometimes-exceptional circumstances: in particular, against the backdrop of James’ diagnosis with Meniere’s syndrome, a condition also shared by the likes of Ryan Adams which has seen his hearing increasingly deteriorate in the past two years (and for which he already needs to wear a hearing aid). Produced by Charlie Andrew (the Brit-Award-winner behind the likes of Alt-J and Marika Hackman), and inspired by the likes of Radiohead’s ‘Amnesiac’, Wild Beasts’ ‘Smother’, plus lifelong heroes such as Richard Hawley – what emerged proved to be worth fighting for. Lyrically, it’s all about addressing one’s insecurities head on, but coming out the other side: whether self-doubt, inner gremlins, or the deterioration of mind (and body) as you grow older.  You are left with Sivu’s growing sense of the self-assured: here are songs about growing happy with who you are and what you have, instead of worrying about what your future might look like.
