'BABY I’M STILL HUMAN’ - AND A MOMENT TO REFLECT
As we find ourselves today at the seventh Siiga single release this year we see our Spotify hit a milestone of over 30,000 Monthly Listeners and over 1000 streams a day!
Gradually by just quietly releasing our songs one by one independently this year we have seen this music spread across the globe and into numerous highly curated playlists on just word of mouth alone!
​
What does it mean to be human? A question that has been at the forefront of the visual world of Siiga as this year has slowly unfolded and one which we will continue to expand on and explore though an as yet unreleased dreamworld of incredible visuals made through the collaboration of Richard and L.A Costume Designer, Sarah Jeanne Mgeni.
​
The single ‘Human’ is dense and brooding orchestral, analogue synth layered epic that pulls this retro future dreamwold into focus and forces us to ask ourselves some big questions.

‘HOURGLASS’ TO ‘STARLIGHT LOVERS’
Making the decision to come back to this world of Siiga that began as just an idea in my head so long ago, I told myself I would have to dig deeper than ever before and give all I had to trying to write a third act of songs that would hopefully be better than anything I had ever written before.
​
To try and create an album that would feel like it could have been a lost classic from the past, cast into the sands of time, whilst also a shimmering prism of shining light that when you found it, sounded like it could have in fact come back to you from a time and dimension way beyond your own future.
​
'A dreamworld where the past and future collide...'
​
Digging into the deepest corners of my childhood memories of growing up on a small and remote Scottish island, listening to the otherworldly sounds of the 80’s crackling across the FM airwaves, I explored the areas of my mind that are filled with the fantasy of the music and movies that informed the very fabric of my own childhood imagination.
​
We have tried to pull together something that I hope captures the nostalgia we all hold deep within…. a nostalgia that perhaps when you really let yourself back in there, fills you with that same sense of excitement, hope and endless childlike curiosity you once held for the adventure of your own future-self, your life and dreams up ahead on that horizon.
​
Don’t ever let them go.
​
And so our adventure continues with the release of not just one but two brand new Siiga singles over the last weeks!!
​
You can stream ‘Hourglass’ HERE and ’Starlight Lovers’ HERE.​.

OUT NOW - 'NOSTALGIA BURNS' FIRST SINGLE 'THE LCD'
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
Click HERE to stream now.​
​
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.
​“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.
