Bio
Stereo Sinai is the Good Book like you've never heard it before.
Dubbed "biblegum pop," the band's signature sound is the heretical combination of ancient, holy languages with blasphemous backbeats and synthesized pop melodies. If Kelly Clarkson and Gnarls Barkley had been on the mountain with Moses, they would have come down sounding a lot like Stereo Sinai.
The duo, made up of singer/songwriter Miriam Brosseau and producer Alan Jay Sufrin, was declared a "Favorite Band of 2009" on About.com. Artist development group Misery Loves Co. called them the "best new band in Chicago." In fall of 2009, Stereo Sinai appeared on the Chicago indie music show "Errors Not Eliminated" and spoke on a Chicago Music Commission panel on musicians and social media.
Stereo Sinai has been featured in a wide variety of shows and recording projects since its inception two years ago. They represented Chicago at the International Jewish Music Festival in Amsterdam in 2008 alongside artists from fifteen countries. Stereo Sinai contributed a piece to the innovative "G-dcast" project, and recorded a track to benefit cancer research through the New York-based "Pioneers for a Cure" initiative, which also features artists such as David Broza and members of the Grammy award winning Klezmatics. Stereo Sinai has been profiled by PresenTense magazine, Shemspeed.com, the Chicago Jewish News, and others. Most recently Stereo Sinai completed a Chanukah track for MyJewishLearning.com, and will be featured on the upcoming children's compilation from ToyBlock Music - the EP will be released on April 1st, 2010, with a full album due out in the fall - and more biblegum pop is always in the works.
Here's what people are saying about Stereo Sinai:
"Stereo Sinai delivers exactly what their name suggests.Stereophonic goodness filled with rich messages reminiscent of the wisdom given down at Sinai."
-Erez "Diwon" Safar, Shemspeed
"No kitsch here, just a duo with a great crackly, bouncing sound and a lot of heart."
-Jack Zaientz, Teruah Jewish Music
