Sig Sali’s new single Sleen is a powerful testament to his evolving sound, offering listeners a fresh yet familiar blend of shimmering Synthwave and raw indie rock energy. Released on March 5th, Sleen is a standout track from his forthcoming EP Chaos In My Mind, and it showcases the Bristol-based producer, songwriter, and vocalist at his most dynamic.
The track immediately captures attention with its punchy guitar riffs and driving drums, which give it a sharper, more upfront edge than previous works. These indie rock elements are seamlessly intertwined with Sig Sali’s signature glittering synths and electronic undertones, creating a euphoric and infectious sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The spiky guitar lines cut through the track with a sense of urgency, while the sparkling synths carry the melody, providing a perfect balance between the bold and the atmospheric.
Produced by Sig Sali himself, with co-production by Freddie Cowan (The Vaccines) and mixed by Ricardo Acasuso (The Vaccines), Sleen benefits from tight, professional production. The arrangements are rich and cinematic, with the layers of synths and bright guitar tones creating a larger-than-life soundscape. Sig Sali’s vocals remain a key focal point throughout, delivering striking melodies that effortlessly cut through the mix, adding emotional depth to the track’s upbeat energy.
The release offers a glimpse into the diverse sonic landscape of the Chaos In My Mind EP, which is a reflection of Sig Sali’s personal growth as an artist. The upcoming EP taps into a dream-like atmosphere, where late-night moments and introspective moods merge with vibrant, alternative production. Sleen stands out as a perfect fusion of electronic experimentation and indie rock vigor, all while remaining catchy and accessible.
With growing support from the likes of Earmilk, Notion, Purple Melon, and BBC Radio, Sig Sali is solidifying his place as one to watch in the alt-electronic scene. Sleen is not just a preview of his upcoming EP—it’s a statement of intent, showcasing an artist confidently blending genres and pushing boundaries. If Sleen is any indication, Chaos In My Mind is set to be a collection of tracks that are as emotionally captivating as they are sonically adventurous.
