Sivilian

Biography

With «Invisible to Automatic Doors», indie-pop musician Sivilian releases his debut EP. The Zurich-based musician, photographer and filmmaker creates a five-track collection of intimate storytelling. The eponymous single «Invisible to Automatic Doors» had marked his debut on the international music scene in late 2020. Used to writing his songs on an acoustic guitar, he initially struggled to bring his latest pop vision to paper. It was an impromptu recording of automatically closing doors in the Budapest metro that finally brought him the breakthrough. Used as a percussive sample throughout the track, these slamming subway doors ended up setting the musical foundation of this song.

He has since released five additional singles, three of which are included on the EP.
«Dead Inside» featuring Kill Coco is an ode to every moment and every person that makes our lives worth living. Taking inspiration from artists such as Lorde, Phoebe Bridgers, HAIM or Lauv, Sivilian found his own style of interweaving plain-spoken words with hooky melodies over soundscapes of guitars, synths and samples.
