Caiti Barker, vocalist for electronic soul duo Sietta, has no qualms with touring.

“I live out of my suitcase anyway,” she says, “which has kind of been like being on tour… we don't really stay anywhere for more then five weeks".

It’s just as well Baker feels that wanderlust, because the former Triple J Next Crop standouts are in demand on the back of their new single, ‘Let It Go’.

"Playing to new people is always a buzz,” she continues, “and I get itchy feet if I have been in one place for more than a month. I love going on tour, especially when I get to go to all the different cites where I have lots of friends and family".

But touring isn't all the perks and glory that people make it out to be.

"There is a lot of waiting. I guess that's the over-glamourised bit of touring — [it seems like] it's always on-the-go, it's always interviews and photos and playing but really there is a whole lot of waiting around. A lot of waiting. Airports. Planes. Cars. Soundchecks".

The duo, about to embark on their second headlining tour, will be playing a mixture of songs from their yet-to-be titled album and a "couple of songs off of the '7th Passenger' album … [and] a couple of stripped back songs from the 'Dark Passenger’ EP."

Caiti explains that they're still deciding on a name for their newest album. "We actually did an interview,” she says, “and played a live song on the ABC in Darwin the other day and we put it out to the listeners to come up with an album title."

Clearly they weren’t thrilled with the answers that came back, as the album name is still up for grabs. "We're still up for suggestions,” Caiti confirms. “Go to our Facebook page and help us with some ideas!”

'Let It Go' is the first single from the album; it’s a sublime artistic statement that weaves ethereal plucked harps, subtle sub bass tones and tribal percussion together with Caiti's stunning voice.

"Percussive, colourful, and hopeful," are the three words Caiti uses to describe the new album. "I want to say tribal, but I don't. It's not a drum and bass album, but it is very drum and bass heavy, so that's what I mean by percussive.

"The new album is definitely a turning point... the new single off of the album is completely different compared to anything we've done on the first album and the other EPs. I guess we're ever-evolving but maintain a pretty solid Sietta sound."

Sietta's sound reflects the musical upbringings that both Caiti and James (the other half of the duo) were brought up in.

"My dad is a blues musician so I travelled around the country seeing him play at different festivals. He actually ran a blues festival in Adelaide for a number of years so I was exposed to an extremely blues, soul, and jazz heavy record collection as I was growing up.

"[James] grew up playing in the church scene…he's no longer in the church scene anymore. But he grew up performing and playing live music in front of a number of people from a young age. He was exposed to more, I guess, Cliff Richard and awesome ‘70s and ‘80s pop and soul. Then he got into heavy music — he was once the lead singer of a hardcore band."

Caiti explains that up until the age of 12, she wasn't allowed to listen to her own music collection. "I wasn't allowed to listen to anything else,” she remembers, “and I really resented it for a while but I am totally thankful and happy about it now.

"You obviously mature and realise that you have pretty good taste in music if you don't know who ABBA is by the time you're 15 years old."

Sietta play Alhambra Lounge on Thursday September 5. 'let It Go' is available now.
