New album "I Want to Open" comes out in Summer 2023

Call your mother up and ask her how to make that dish from your childhood
And I will scrounge the neighborhood
For wild herbs that taste as good as your memory
If you'll let me

And I've been the one to wash your feet in the bathtub of the apartment
I will keep the water warm
And we will sleep the whole night through this sickness
And be in another place

It'll take more, take more, take more, take more
It'll take more than this to be good

Getting tired of waking up in the same bed we went to sleep in
The world is foaming at the mouth
And dreaming's the only way to leave the bedroom
And be in another place

It'll take more, take more, take more, take more
Will it take more than this to be good?

“We recorded ‘Memoirs of Working in a Bowling Alley’ and the rest of our debut album with Andrija Tokic at the Bomb Shelter Studio in Nashville. I’ve spent my entire adult life working in various service industry jobs- some more soul sucking than others. One of these jobs was spraying bowling shoes at the local lanes. ‘Memoirs’ is about working these types of jobs and how at times it makes you question humanity and never want to speak to a soul ever again; that emotional drain that can only be experienced when you’re dealing with shitty drunk people night after night.” -Andrea Scanniello of Dropper

Don't Talk to Me

Memoirs of Working in a Bowling Alley

With its members originating from The Netherlands, Spain and the UK, the indie-rock three piece CIEL ultimately met on the South Coast of England where they distilled their differing backgrounds and influences into grunge-pop finery. Straddling the creative baggage of three countries' scenes, whilst not really feeling like they belong to any of them, CIEL’s music has a nagging yet fresh, dark and sometimes quietly glorious quality to it. Drawing influences from garage rock, goth and shoegaze, the band’s upcoming work (produced by Blood Red Shoes' Steven Ansell) sees them reflect a moodier and grittier direction, yet still maintaining their established melodic pop essence. 

CIEL’s DIY work ethic shines through in every part of their work. Early on the band caught the eye of BBC 6’s Steve Lamacq who included them as a spotlight artist on his show. They gained further radio plays across the UK and US (BBC 6 Music, KEXP, WFUV, BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio) as well as loyal support from online publications including CLASH Magazine, Under The Radar and Earmilk. The trio soon flourished in the south of the UK, supporting the likes of Penelope Isles, Sasami and She Drew The Gun as well as selling out headline shows in London and Brighton.
