Incorrectly labeled as post-rock, 59:59 clocks in just under the hour mark, thanks to protests from the label to produce a tight collection of tracks. There is a variety of minimalism on display throughout the album: understated loops, disinterested and ethereal vocals, simple piano repeats, hazy synths and a sustained build and release format.

59:59 comes Jason Pierce endorsed, and fans of his earlier material may find an awkward but happy home here, likewise Portishead fans that liked the industrial challenge of `Third' may enjoy Sian Alice Group's work. They mine a similar vein to both these artists, albeit more lo-fi than Spiritualized and less abrasive than Third.

`Contours' is true to its name, feeling like a fighter-jet flying over low terrain, but all in slow motion. The feel is reminiscent therefore of some ancient flight simulator you may have played on the Atari. `Motionless' adds some welcome beats to this seemingly exclusive party, spicing up the near featureless landscape. The album is bleak for sure, but rewards the listener. It has a general coherency in its art that lends it toward the soundtrack genre, where the only complaint is that later tracks taper into esoteric mumbling, allowing the album to fall toward the future forgotten classic it may yet become.

I can't believe nobody else has written a review for this album. I came across the Sian Alice group early in 2008 as they supported the Black Angels on their last UK tour. They have been picked up as proteges by Jason Pierce of Spritualized which can only be good for them. I was very impressed with their live performance and immediately ordered their album 59:59. It's a unique piece of work and sounds like nobody else around at the moment. It's minimalist but at the same time Sian Ahern's beautiful singing gives the music an uplifting and spirtual quality. Very well worth seeking out and I'm sure this band have all the ingredients to be very, very successful. (9/10)

Amazing album!!! 6 Jun 2009
Format:Audio CD
This album is absolutely amazing.
Perfect for when you just want to be totally chilled out or relaxed...Or totally out of it.
Very progressive, experimental and psychedelic. Smooth flowing in parts and hazy in others. Just an amazing artwork.
If still not sure, try the samples for "motionless" and "way down to heaven".
VERY RECOMMENDED.
