Aistis is back with his most ambitious and self-reflective album, "Caviar For Seagulls." Seamlessly weaving together theatrical arrangements, poetic lyricism, and sonic experimentation, Aistis takes listeners on an immersive journey through the labyrinth of memory, self-reckoning, and redemption.
After the critical success of Clay, named by DOMINIONATED as one of the “50 best albums of the year,” and getting regular play on SIRIUS XM, Aistis widens his artistic scope with an album that bears wryly confessional and outrageously cinematic qualities. Filmed at The Treatment Room in Montreal with engineer Gilles Castilloux and co-producer Niall Mutter, Caviar For Seagulls is a daring defense of artistic freedom, sweeping orchestrations laid over piercing self-reflection.
From the haunting beauty of “Nothing Here Ever Changes” to the cathartic swell of “Rejoice,” Aistis weaves narratives of isolation, morality, and existential yearning. His signature romantic satire is imbued with a new poignancy, balancing clever humor and raw vulnerability. Tracks like “The Inpatient” and “86/Dove” (the later given in tribute to Leonard Cohen) lay bare the fragility of the human psyche, while the album as a whole straddles the tension between suffering and hope culminating in the pleading refrain: “A part of me believes the best is yet to come.”
With "Caviar For Seagulls," Aistis is one of the most exciting voices in alternative folk right now. This stunningly beautiful record is now available on all streaming platforms for fans of poetic storytelling and wondrous orchestral soundscapes.
