'Better Man Than He' was produced by Charlie Andrew, who also produced Alt-J's award winning album. Sivu presently works in a call centre in Waterloo, South London, but draws wider inspiration from the likes of Wild Beasts, Beck and - peculiarly - Frank Sinatra.
This stunning introduction to Sivu will be released as a 7" and digital single via. ASL Records on 25th February alongside a hand-stamped version available exclusively in North America.
Sivu's video is the start of something amazing, with a uniqueness you're bound to be watching over and over again. I guess it helps when your flat mate is Adam Powell; an acclaimed video director for the likes of Dot Rotten, Jamie T & Example...
The video for 'Better Man Than He' features footage of Sivu performing from within an MRI scanner, filmed live in Barts Hospital. The striking clip contrasts the clinical world of science against the emotive lyrics and raw honesty of 'Better Man Than He'. Whatsmore, the video was inspired by research looking into improving operating techniques for children born with a cleft lip and palate.
Enjoy, you'd be a fool not to.
