James Page, better known as Sivu, has taken on the task of covering an all-time classic: Frank Sinatra's 'Strangers In The Night'.
The track - which was actually the first song he took to producer Charlie Andrew when they began working together - forms part of Sivu's forthcoming EP, 'Miracle (Human Error)', which was released via Atlantic Records yesterday (July 28).
With 'Miracle (Human Error)' having debuted on Zane Lowe's show, and already picked up plays across Radio 1, 6Music and XFM, Sivu has also been confirmed for this year's Reading & Leeds, Bestival and Wilderness festivals. He will announce plans for his debut album shortly, whilst a UK tour - featuring a headline date at London's Oslo - has been confirmed for October.
Affecting and anthemic, 'Miracle (Human Error)' is a bold step forward from Sivu - marrying his trademark brand of baroque-pop, which has drawn frequent comparisons with Wild Beasts, to the soaring, wide-screen quality of Arcade Fire, and the distorted, aggressive guitars of Radiohead 'Creep' era.
