Sleeping in the Aviary’s debut album “Oh, This Old Thing?” (Science of Sound), showcased SITA’s ability to create intense bursts of lo-fi, catchy-as-hell pop. With songs averaging under two minutes, comparisons to The Thermals, Buzzcocks, Violent Femmes and Nirvana were inevitable.
Now, another side of the band’s musical personality is captured on SITA’s sophomore album “Expensive Vomit In A Cheap Hotel.” The band’s core of Elliott Kozel (guitar/vocals), Michael Sienkowski (drums) and Phil Mahlstadt (bass), has added a fourth member, Celeste Heule, on accordion and musical saw, heralding a move towards an indie-folk direction. “I think it would be boring to make the same record over and over again,” says Kozel. “I want to surprise people with each album that I make.”
SITA emerged from the Science of Sound studio with an incredible collection of newly-recorded material. “Expensive Vomit In A Cheap Hotel” is still intense, full and raw, but now could draw comparisons to the likes of Neutral Milk Hotel, Baptist Generals and even Bob Dylan. Plus the songs have grown longer in length – none are under three minutes.
Kozel sheds some light on the band’s change in direction on the new album, pointing out that tracks on Expensive Vomit In A Cheap Hotel were written in the aftermath of tragedy. “Everybody’s Different, Everybody Dies” was recorded the same week his co-worker died of a brain aneurism on the way to work and an old friend died of a drug overdose. “Windshield” and “Write On” were written while Kozel was in a hospital caring for his sick mother. But he also points out “they are both songs of hope.”

My band played with these guys a couple of months ago in Des Moines, Iowa and they put on a hell of a show. Hopped on stage and played tambourine with them. Lots of fun
