From Grammy winner and P-Funk legend Bootsy Collins to rising rap superstar JID from Atlanta to James Blake and jungle collaborator Erick The Architect.... How does a relatively obscure Swiss group, led by sisters Jasmina and Nabyla Serag, manage to work with such A-listers? It's all about authenticity and quality.

The Swiss band, fronted by sisters Jasmina and Nabyla Serag, debuted anonymously in 2014 with a major label dance hit and reinvented themselves as an indie pop group in 2018 - with the surprising support of BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Tom Ravenscroft, who spotted their reggae-influenced comeback single 'We'll Be Fine' and sent it over the airwaves, prompting more plays from the BBC 6 team.

Since then, the Sirens Of Lesbos have released two albums and attracted other high-profile backers, including US producer Christo (J. Cole, JID, 21 Savage, Earthgang), who has worked on several of the group's tracks. After a successful concert season in Germany, England, France, the Netherlands and Switzerland from October 2023 to September 2024, the band will release their third album in spring 2025.

The new project highlights the wide musical range of the collective, which draws inspiration from artists such as Childish Gambino, Trick Daddy, Gangsta Boo, Dungeon Family and Goodie Mob, blending influences from 90s British girl pop (e.g. Sugababes), Afrobeats, electronic music and lo-fi indie pop acts such as Mk.gee.

Over the years, Sirens Of Lesbos have evolved through various iterations, reaching milestones such as performances at prestigious venues like London's Jazz Cafe, Amsterdam's Paradiso and the Fusion Festival near Berlin. With this release, the group opens a new chapter marked by a significant shift in their musical direction, informed by the experiences of their numerous live performances. "We are now clear about the mood we want to create at our concerts and we are now producing with that in mind," they explain.

As black women living in the diaspora, Jasmina and Nabyla operate at the interface between the collectivist north-east African culture of their parents and the western emphasis on individuality. Questions of identity have always been central to their journey. While society often demands clear definitions, the sisters have embraced their multiple identities: "We have always been many things".

Both artists are deeply rooted in the technical and philosophical dimensions of sound. Jasmina has recently completed her studies in sound art, and Nabyla is just finishing her degree. As part of their academic work, they have created abstract sound installations in exhibition spaces, among other things. In the foreseeable future, however, they will focus on driving the Sirens Of Lesbos project forward, writing and producing outstanding indie pop tracks, performing live and delivering unforgettable experiences to their audiences.

Sirens Of Lesbos will embark on their first tour with the new repertoire in May, playing a series of shows across Europe, including two shows at the Great Escape Festival, where they were announced as part of the First Fifty.
