And Rupert had just come out of a band, and was looking to record some tracks with a female singer. I had met Sian a few years previously, and we'd started playing around at writing some ideas together. Rupert and I had written and recorded before for a film soundtrack, and often talked about doing something again. So the idea was that we would play music to have fun and explore without worrying about whether it was fashionable or fit within the confines of any genre label.īen Crook: We got together in 2006 with no designs or plans as such other than to record some ideas we individually had.

Sian, at the time, was a very shy singer and was making music with Ben from the safety of their home. I was getting tired of playing in bands that weren't creatively exciting for me. Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees - we'd all known each other for years before we started the band. Ben, Sian and I started working together almost by accident. And self-sufficiency and true independence has become a defining feature of Sian Alice Group. This has given me the opportunity to work with, and learn from, some excellent musicians. Looking back, I think one of the most crucial inclinations I had at a young age was to explore the technical side of recording music.
