SIIGA’s debut single from album Nostalgia Burns is a Sonic Time Capsule for the Digital Apocalypse.
Richard Macintyre – the musician and songwriter behind acclaimed Scottish artist SIIGA – alongside bandmate Iain Hutchison and L.A. based artist Sarah Jeanne Mgeni, has redefined what it means to traverse the boundaries of sound and time with the release of new single, The LCD.​
​
From SIIGA’s latest album, Nostalgia Burns, which will be released at intervals throughout the year, The LCD invites listeners into a dimension where the past and future intertwine; where music isn’t just heard, but felt and experienced in every shifting layer. Stretching the very fabric of genre, weaving together analogue warmth, vintage guitars, and ethereal synths, Richard and his team have created a sonic landscape unlike anything done before.
​
The compositions of this full-length studio album, dissolve the lines between wakefulness and dreams, crafting intricate tapestries of sound that echo the fragmented, fleeting nature of modern existence. Here, emotion is suspended in pixels and waves, and through the shimmering sonic chaos, we are reminded of the beauty and humanity that resides in what remains of the analogue world.
OUT NOW - 'NOSTALGIA BURNS' FIRST SINGLE 'THE LCD'
​“These days, we are split between ‘real life’ and ‘digital life’,” Macintyre muses. “ “Our digital life is an infinite sprawl of pixels and information in which feeling, heart, truth and compassion can often fade, resulting in a deep and numb detachment from our basic humanity. It is one viral moment to the next.
“I imagined a future where this Ê»cloudʼ holding all of our content finally vanishes – all of it gone in an instant. The world before the internet. Would we do it all the same again, or would we instead reconnect with the essence of what it actually means to be a human being?
“Maybe itʼs going to take a machine to remind us of our humanity.”
The album begins with the release of The LCD on March 28, 2025, and will follow the journey of a mysterious robotic figure – guiding listeners through a visual universe brought to life in a unique collaboration between Richard Macintyre and L.A. artist Sarah Jeanne Mgeni. Mgeni’s credits are perhaps best known as part of the Supersuit Costume Design Team for The Boys (Amazon Prime) and D.C Comics Doom Patrol (HBO Max).
In Nostalgia Burns, SIIGA invites you to journey through the spaces that few dare to walk – between the known and the unknowable, between light and shadow, between human and machine.
