The “Dynamic Root Rock Experience” remains the most fitting description of Siena Root’s sound – and that’s exactly what the Swedish quartet’s new double live album, “Made in KuBa,” delivers. Out worldwide on October 3, 2025 via Perception – a division of Reigning Phoenix Music, the album is available to pre-order now.
Recorded over three intimate nights in March 2024 at Germany’s legendary Kulturbahnhof (KuBa) in Jena, the release picks up where 2011’s “Root Jam” left off, cranks the tape machines even harder, and continues the band’s commitment to authentic, audiophile sound.
The band’s signature jams are all here: rich in improvisation, dynamic contrasts, and sonic storytelling. To ensure the highest analogue fidelity, long-time sound engineer Ove Noring was brought in as tape operator to record the shows and track every note, jam and thunderous applause direct to tape – no overdubs, no studio tricks, just pure stage energy.
The first taste of the album, lead single “Wishing For More,” captures the soulful tension and explosive chemistry that Siena Root channel so effortlessly on stage. It’s a track that leaves listeners, fittingly and indeed…wishing for more.
‘Wishing For More’ was first recorded on the album ’Far From The Sun’ in 2008, as the rocking opening of the B-side. Through the years of touring we enjoyed to play the song and it developed a character of its own. The song became something more than the shuffle it originally was on the studio recording. We are so pleased to have capture this enchanted groove and energy live on tape.
What sets “Made in KuBa” apart from other live albums is its uncompromising authenticity: a fully live, all-analogue recording with a set list crafted together with fans, featuring twelve tracks from across the band’s catalogue – none of them repeated from “Root Jam.” The result is not just a document of three unforgettable nights in Jena – it’s a fully immersive experience that bridges the space between stage and speaker. And this time, they’ve gone a step further: “Made in KuBa” was mastered at half-speed, a meticulous process that enhances the sonic depth of the vinyl version.
“Half-speed mastering is an old-school technique that vinyl lovers will recognize,” the band says. “It’s a delicate but complex process that makes »Made in KuBa« an even more three-dimensional listening experience – for you and for us.”
