sialia
Self-released • July 23, 2021
Unlike Minaxi’s previous body of work, 'sialia' does not have an inherent concept; what ties the songs together despite the fluidity of genres is the unifying emotion—the one which drives the themes of love, detachment, self-ascension and nostalgia; the one which is delivered bilingually through the voices of Shrenik Ganatra and Liam Christian, intensified by Steve Carlin’s drumming and supported by guest musicians Milan Ganatra and Luke Santy; the one which beckons the band’s evolution into the forthcoming body of work.
Remixes by LUKEINTERNET, Shrenik Ganatra and Liam Christian. All songs except B written by Shrenik Ganatra.

Bandcamp Reviews:
This is an incredible collection of songs. Barsaate might be my favorite of the bunch, but This Town is running in a very close second place. The mixing on the entire project is absolutely top notch, the sound design overwhelms you in the best way possible & the whole collection is just filled with fresh, majestic ideas layered on to already-haunting genres of music.
• I love this album, each song offers something different within a similar sound.
• A perfect example of the modern shoegaze soundscape.
• there's just something magical about hearing such a calming song in a language i don't understand that is so beautiful. the way the vocals float across the ambient and dreamy soundscape that is so familiar and comforting.
