Hello friends
We have recently completed with the help of Aria Award Winning Producer, Magoo, the final mixes for our full length album "To The Place That Is Home". The last stage is to have the album mastered and manufactured and this is where we need your help.
A little about the album:
Following our two EP releases in 2008, we had a new song - 'Come Back As You' and this was the starting point for the album. Our original intention was to release this is a stand-alone single in early 2010. As we experienced various upheavals at this time, personally and emotionally, this release got put back. By later that year, the idea had grown into doing a an EP (consisting of five tracks) including 'What Is A Witch', written specially for the Murder Ballads event that we were invited to be a part of at The Judith Wright Centre.
Still, many external circumstances forced Lucinda & myself to put the recording on hold as we continued to move through some challenging personal events. By 2011, recording had started and we worked diligently as time and funds allowed us to. As the dust settled on two extremely turbulent years, we realised the album we were making had become ABOUT this process. And so the title "To The Place That Is Home" (lifted from a lyric in the song 'I Am Going To FInd You') fell into place - the question is what is that 'place'? We realised we were making an album about what it's like to lose your home, whether that is an actual place, a state of mind, another person - or a mixture of all of these things. It was a gratifying and also slightly chilling turning point for us. We think the album is mostly quite dark in tone musically but extremely uplifting lyrically, pain and beauty, sadness and hope co-existing within the one thought or feeling. We also had some wonderful guests perform on the album including extra percussion, a brass section and a choir on two songs.
'Come Back As You' was released as a single in May this year and the album is now finished. We are so very proud of it. After all our work together, as ISIS in the 90's, as individuals and together as Silver Sircus since 2008, we genuinely believe it is the best work we have done.
We have gained wonderful support from you in recent times - purchasing our music and attending our occasional performances. Our intention with Silver Sircus is only (and has always only been) to create music that is exactly what Lucinda and I want to make and to become better musicians and writers. We know we are a 'boutique' act - so when we know we have connected with you, pleased you, enriched you and entertained you, this is all a huge bonus for us. In the real financial world, we only seek to make the band sustainable - we hope you can help us in this goal.

Your song choice - we record it. That's right - we'll do a fully professional recording of a cover song by another artist just for you. Think of something that will suit us, thrill & delight you and work well in a piano & vocals kind of way (perhaps some strings too). It will be recorded by ARIA Award Winning Producer, Magoo, you will be named an executive producer of the track and we will give you a handmade CDR with specially produced artwork.
