Siskiyou
Siskiyou was formed by Colin Huebert and Erik Arnesen in the late 2000s while the two musicians were part of Great Lake Swimmers. Under the impetus of Huebert's hotel room and home recordings, the pair forged an approach to songwriting that was decidedly more stark and emotionally tense, marked by a minimal aesthetic, an economy of effects and arrangements, and an appreciation for the timbral and textural qualities of sparse elements. The band combines a back porch, moonlit looseness with a controlled, self-contained country gothic formalism that often finds the music circling within the cusp of restrained fury or frenzy.
It is difficult to say exactly how long it took Siskiyou to record their debut album. It was during downtime from the Great Lake Swimmers tour schedule that Colin Huebert began unofficially recording sketches, demos and fragments and it wasn’t until his final departure from GLS in the summer of 2008 that Huebert found the time necessary to finish crafting Siskiyou’s eponymous first record – an album aptly described as perfectly capturing the lush yet chilly landscape of the Pacific Northwest.
Even as this first record made its way to Constellation in early 2010 and was being prepped for release that fall, Colin remained holed up through the winter in Mara, BC (pop. 350) writing more songs and eventually being joined by his Siskiyou co-conspirator Erik Arnesen for a few weeks of intensive recording. Unlike the debut album, which was recorded in semi-nomadic fashion in literal nooks and crannies, the Mara, BC sessions found Colin and Eric settled and rooted, with keys in hand to the empty Mara Community Hall, a century-old timber structure nested in the Canadian Rockies.
With the addition of Shaunn Watt (drums, backing vocals) and Peter Carruthers (bass, keyboards, backing vocals) in 2010, Siskiyou coalesced into a superbly incisive four-piece band, honed through extensive touring in Europe and Canada. Coming off a season of live playing, the quartet hit Vancouver's JC/DC Studio (Destroyer, New Pornographers) in early 2011, adding to Colin and Erik's Mara sessions from the previous winter, cutting a few new tunes, and running a couple of mixes with Dave Carswell. Colin Huebert self-produced the remainder of the songs on Siskiyou's second album, Keep Away The Dead, released in fall 2011.
Behind the distinct shiver of Colin Huebert’s whisper/wail you’ll hear acoustic and slide guitars, banjo, and gently brushed drums. But there’s something quietly ominous and subtly disquieting in the band's sounds and words. Crackling of old AM radio tuners, distant squelching feedback of an electric guitar abandoned by its amplifier, small moments of complete musical deconstruction like the whole band has just collectively fallen down the stairs. Siskiyou's songs are often about death, or enmity, or some kind of immobility waiting to burst, tackled with varying shades of defiance and resignation, but never as odes of abject defeat (or defeatism), not as slacker hymns or high-gothic morbidity. Huebert is much more Neil Young than Nick Cave, finding poetry in simple meditations and in little twists of phrase that are sometimes twists of the knife but also sometimes just changes of heart, internal emotional shifts from anger to acceptance, from belligerence to peace.

A message from the band:
"We are extremely sad to announce that due to health complications within the group, siskiyou will be cancelling all of their upcoming scheduled performances. Until this situation is resolved the group will be on hiatus. Thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way. Hopefully we'll see you again soon."
Of course we extend our best wishes to the band for a speedy recovery and return to live appearances. In the meantime, here they are playing a cover of "Bad Days" by the Flaming Lips:
We're very pleased to announce a series of 15th Anniversary concerts that will take place in Europe this fall.
We'll be partnering with some of our favourite venues and arts organisations to present multiple-night mini-festival events featuring a diverse cross-section of artists, including newer groups like Sisksiyou and Elfin Saddle, long-standing roster acts like Sandro Perri, Eric Chenaux and Hangedup, and two of the label's best-known bands: Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Do Make Say Think.
Thee Silver Mt Zion will be returning to Europe for the first time since touring behind their acclaimed Kollaps Tradixionales album in early 2010, and premiering new material including pieces released as a tour-only 2x7" in the USA earlier this year. Do Make Say Think, one of the most consistently acclaimed and long-standing instrumental rock groups of the past decade-and-a-half, will be performing their classic sophomore album, Goodbye Enemy Airship The Landlord Is Dead, in its entirety.
At each of the two-night events, Do Make Say Think will close one show and Thee Silver Mt Zion will close the other. Exact line-ups for each night in each town will be confirmed and announced later this summer, but every concert will feature at least 4 bands and sets by at least 8 different artists across the two nights.
The event at Bern's Reitschule is unique in that it runs for a full three days, starting on Friday 16 November with the final European date of Godspeed You! Black Emperor's fall 2012 tour (a golden opportunity to see the group in a smaller, grittier venue with some truly awesome natural room compression).
-----
Here's the plan:
NOV 16-18 • Bern, CH • Dachstock Reitschule
Presented by Heartland Festival and Dachstock
3-night passes available now HERE and HERE
The Constellation event in Bern is a full label takeover and collaboration with Heartland Festival, in conjunction with the Dachstock collective who administer an awesome 700 capacity live room at the Reitschule complex - where many a fine Constellation memory has been forged over the years (and often then half-obliterated in the ensuing post-show massacre of brain cells at the bar).
NOV 17-18 • Paris, FR • La Maroquinerie
Presented by Volume
Running concurrently with the Bern weekend, these two nights at La Maroquinnerie will be anchored by Do Make Say Think and Thee Silver Mt ZIon respectively, with three other bands each night. La Maroq has been a favourite venue of Constellation artists over the years, and the site of beautifully raucous yet wonderfully attentive packed houses for several of the label's artists. Despite the club's literally subterranean and cave-like setting, the full range of Constellation sounds have always gone down perfectly there, from the quietest and most fragile moments to galloping punk-rock explosions. La Maroq brings out the passion and devotion of music-hungry Parisians who don't mind getting a little down and dirty to achieve sustained experiences of musical immersion, levitation and physicality. This will be good times!
NOV 21-22 • Vienna, AT • Porgy & Bess
Presented by Viennale and Blue Bird Festival
Constellation has had a very special and heartfelt relationship with the Viennale (Vienna International Film Festival) in recent years, beginning with their production of filmmaker Jem Cohen's "Empires Of Tin" project. We are very proud to be celebrating its 15th Anniversary in conjunction with Viennale's 50th Anniversary this year, and excited to be partnering with the Blue Bird Songwriter Festival as well, which will be expanding to a four-day event with the first two days devoted to Constellation.
NOV 23-24 • Leipzig, DE • UT Connewitz
Presented by UT Connewitz and Southern DE
Another venue and local promoter collective that is close to Constellation's heart, UT Connewitz is a glorious old theatre space that has hosted countless of the label's artists over the years. Like Paris, this will be 4-band bills anchored by Do Make Say Think and Thee Silver Mt Zion each night, in one of our favourite settings, booked by some of the very best people. Simple as that.
-----
Stay tuned for more information and finalized lineups in the coming months. There will be also be special collaborations and other little surprises at various events, for which we will supply more information down the road (or, regarding the surprises, maybe not, so that they in fact remain surprises). In the meantime, here's an assortment of MP3s to tide you over:
MP3s:
Do Make Say Think • The Landlord is Dead
A Silver Mt Zion • Thee Dirty Olde Flag
Hangedup • Klang Klang
Siskiyou • This Land
Elfin Saddle • The Wind Come Carry
Sandro Perri • Love & Light
Eric Chenaux • Dull Lights (White or Grey)
With Europeans eagerly awaiting their arrival in the old country this May (more info and dates here), Siskiyou have let loose a gorgeous new video for Keep Away The Dead stunner "Twigs and Stones", shot all in Super8 by Toronto-based filmmaker and steadfast CST ally Brett Story.

In the meantime, check out Keep Away the Dead, Siskyou's latest, and see below for a beautiful video recording of the band performing "Where Does That Leave Me?" during their last visit to the UK, courtesy of Line of Best Fit...
Earlier this year, Siskiyou were approached to take part in a project initiated by the Groninger Museum in Groningen, NL. Several musicians were asked to create music that would accompany individual paintings on an audio tour of the museum's upcoming exhibition on the Group of Seven.
We're sorry to say the project has since dissolved, though not before the stark, haunting "Always Awake", composed by Colin Huebert to accompany Tom Thomson's "Burnt Country, Evening" (pictured below), was committed to tape. We're thrilled to pass it along here.

SISKIYOU - Revolution Blues (Neil Young) / Inside of the Ocean from Mitch Fillion (southernsouls.ca) on Vimeo.
This week our friends in Siskiyou continue their brave trek Eastward and into the Canadian Shield, with shows in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Kingston. Locals will want to come out on Thursday to see the boys play Under the Snow Festival at Sala Rossa (check out the rest of the festival schedule here). We're really excited to see them again.
We released Siskiyou's gorgeous debut LP last fall; you can hear the whole thing here.
Siskiyou will open for Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans on a week of Canadian dates starting with the Biltmore Cabaret in Vancouver on 26 February and ending in Winnipeg at the West End Cultural Centre on 5 March.
This is going to make for a fine night of music. Siskiyou will perform with the same 4-piece lineup that recently wound up a terrific month of dates in Europe.
The band will continue eastward after Winnipeg for additional Canadian dates in early March, to be announced soon.
Siskiyou frontman Colin Huebert is also mixing down a couple of tracks taken from sessions for the next album and will be making those available for free in the weeks to come. Watch this space.

OFFICIAL TOUR POSTER
Sandro Perri plays his first show with a full band in over a year, premiering a bunch of great new material that he is currently recording for a projected 2011 release.
Co-headlining with Vancouver-based Siskiyou, who rendez-vous with their lone Toronto band member (co-founder and Great Lake Swimmers banjo-picker Erik Arnesen) for what will be their debut Toronto performance.
Should be a terrific night of music, perfectly suited to the focused environment of The Music Gallery.
Doors at 8pm, Siskiyou at 9pm, Perri at 10pm.
Tickets are $10 in advance at Rotate This and Soundscapes, or $12 at the door ($7 for Music Gallery members).
Colin Stetson plays his first proper and official solo show in his adopted home of Montréal, on the heels of a 10-day stand erforming with Laurien Anderson in NYC and a week of dates opening for The Arcade Fire on the USA west coast and Mexico. Colin is an incredible and incomporable horn player and we will be releasing a new solo album of his stellar music in February 2011.
Siskiyou swing through Ontario and Quebec prior to embarking on a month-long European tour – this Montréal show is their debut performance in the city and their final Canadian date before Europe. Celebrating the release of their debut album and performing as a 4-piece band, this promises to be a gripping set of dark, direct, exuberantly modern roots music.
North, My Love is an accordion-driven big band from Montréal whose self-released cassette from summer 2010 is a stunner – longform, slowburn drones and melodic weaves with reeds, string and vocals adding lovely accents along the way.
This show is a economically stimulating $7.00 in advance ($10.00 at the door).
Get all the info HERE - including audio previews!
Shot on 8mm at a slowed-down frame rate while band founder Colin Huebert takes a bike ride through his hometown of Vancouver. This is a direct digital transfer of the raw footage with no additional editing, effects, etc. Very nice...
Siskiyou's debut has just come out on CD and lovely Deluxe 180gLP with multiple inserts and a 3-colour screenprinted poster - see below for pictures of what you get...
3-colour screenprinted poster on textured olive green paper with white, brown and gold inks, 11" x 22".
11"x11" print of the album cover art on Proterra Chalk uncoated 80lb text paper.

Siskiyou Deluxe 180gLP in the STORE. Edition limited to 777 copies.
The debut album by Siskiyou and the latest from Eric Chenaux are hitting the streets this week (13 September in Europe, 7 September everywhere else). They are both extremely sublime and lovely records.
We have now uploaded all tracks for both albums in streaming audio players on the release pages for each title. We also still have some posters left for each release as part of a mail-order exclusive: order the CD + Poster for $14.00 (or $12.00 for the CD alone). The deluxe LP editions naturally include the poster as a matter of course...
Check the store for more.
The release date for Siskiyou's debut album approaches (7 September; 13 September in Europe) and we've been adding a new track to the streaming audio player each week since mid-summer to preview the release. You can now hear 9 of 12 tracks from the album – this week two songs were added at once, "Inside Of The Ocean" and "We All Fall Down", each of which clock in at just a little over a minute and appear one after the other on Side Two of the record.
Check out the album preview player on the band's site or on our RELEASE page.
Go HERE for full descriptions and illustrations of the very lovely packaging for this release.
NPR's All Songs Considered for August 17 includes the song "Never Ever Ever Ever Ever Again" from the upcoming self-titled Siskiyou record.
"An intimate and entirely unaffected new album..." - NPR
Check out the track (and the episode) here.
Also a reminder that we are uploading a new album track every Wednesday as part of a cumulative album preview leading up to the release date in early September. Six tracks are up there already, a 7th on its way tomorrow: www.siskiyouband.com
No shows scheduled.
