A gentle, intimate and wholesome album, built on chilled acoustic tones and packed with meaningful lyricism. A slice of softness in an otherwise hardened reality, gently caressing the listeners towards blissful musical abstraction. In truth, we are big fans of it – ‘Sisko Sisko Demos’ might be a non-conventional work for some, but for us represents the perfect expressive vehicle for connecting with Mia Loucks, talented songstress with a unique and authentic story behind her.
You see, Loucks has been dealing her whole life with a rare connective tissue disease, influencing the way she deals with the environment around her; currently involved in a PhD program aimed at finding a cure for such illness, Mia explains: “I continue to write songs as a way to process emotions, connect with others, and make sense of an often nonsensical world”.
It’s this relentless, unfiltered force that draws us so close to the project. Boasting resilience and a proud outlook over life and art, Loucks shares ‘Sisko Sisko Demos’ with the wider world, exposing themes of nostalgia, loss and grief with nuanced control and veiled melancholia.
