Sasha Siem has revealed the video for her stunning track "My Friend". It was produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson (Sigur Ros, Bjork) and recorded at Reykjavik’s Greenhouse Studios.
The trained cellist enlists a tangled knot of baroque-y strings and swooning cinematic harmonies to create a tender, fantastical, but ultimately triumphant track that embiggens the soul no end.
The track is taken from Siem's untitled-but-forthcoming debut LP, due out at some point early 2015.
Siem will also play a show at London's St. Pancras Old Church 27 November. Get your tickets here.
