ROUGH MIX from the solo indie rock artist Sivan Langer.   

it's got a little T-rex melodic bop, a little Flaming Lips aggressive weirdness, a little Syd Barrett tripped out mind fry, and it's pretty negative- which is very, very cool.   (JOHN GENTILE, PUNKNEWS)

Sivan Langer enthralls across his new album ROUGH MIX (Mike Mineo, Obscure Sound)

Rough Mix is more than just a debut; it’s a declaration of intent from an artist who refuses to let circumstance dictate creativity  (Sarah Wagner, Melodic Mag)

With “ROUGH MIX,” Sivan Langer doesn’t just demonstrate promising talent; he affirms music’s enduring power as cultural resistance. (Weekly Favorite album by the Bside Guys)

Langer’s journey into the world of songwriting began when he decided to form a band with a couple of his schoolmates. He dove into a furious exploration of the guitar, immersing himself in the iconic sounds of 90s rock and grunge. Soon enough, his musical tastes grew to encompass jazz and experimental rock. It was a journey that led him to appreciate the conceptual ideas behind the music as much as their sonic manifestations.

 As he continues down the winding path of a musician infatuated with his craft, the culmination of his musical journey is marked by this labor of love and determination, borne out of sheer will and appreciation for the arts. Langer’s fusion of genres, blending classic rock, punk, and even elements of jazz, bears witness to an artist unafraid to explore and transcend boundaries. Sivan’s fusion of genres, blending classic rock, punk, and even elements of jazz, bears witness to an artist unafraid to explore and transcend boundaries. With each note and chord, Sivan tells his story, a tale born out of passion, perseverance, and a deep love for the art of music and songwriting.
