1971 Die-cut original. "Strange Locomotion" by Siren, released in 1971, is an album that captures the essence of early 70s rock with a raw and unfiltered edge. The band, fronted by Kevin Coyne, delivers a sound that's both gritty and melodic, drawing on influences from blues and folk to create something distinctly their own. The record stands out for its authenticity, eschewing the polished production typical of the era for a more stripped-down approach that emphasizes the emotional impact of the music. Songs such as the title track "Strange Locomotion" exhibit a rhythmically driving force and an almost hypnotic groove, showcasing Coyne's distinctive vocal style and lyrical prowess. The album is a testament to Siren's ability to blend various genres seamlessly, delivering a sound that's simultaneously familiar and refreshingly original.
