Aistis’, Caviar For Seagulls, is a deeply immersive experience, a striking alternative folk odyssey that feels like walking through a dream—at times surreal, at others starkly honest. Following the acclaim of, Clay, Aistis refines his ability to blend introspection with grandiose arrangements, constructing an album that is as theatrical as it is deeply personal. His third full-length release is a self-reckoning, an exploration of past missteps, redemption, and the fragility of memory.

Musically, Caviar For Seagulls, pulls from a wide palette, merging Old Hollywood grandeur with classical influences. Aistis layers strings, pedal steel, clarinet, and synth textures in a way that transforms each track into a self-contained vignette, yet together, they form a beautifully fragmented narrative. The result is a body of work that is expansive in sound yet intimate in sentiment, offering a rare fusion of folk storytelling and cinematic orchestration.

Lyrically, Aistis navigates the complexities of isolation, mental health, and self-forgiveness. Tracks like “Nothing Here Ever Changes” and “The Inpatient” explore the weight of stagnation and the vulnerability of human connection, while “86/Dove” nods to Leonard Cohen, embodying a wisdom that only comes with experience. There is melancholy, but also hope, as Aistis sings, “A part of me believes the best is yet to come.”

Recorded at The Treatment Room in Montreal, Aistis worked with engineer Gilles Castilloux and co-producer Niall Mutter to craft an album that captures both the rawness of his emotions and the meticulous precision of his sonic vision. Every note feels intentional, every word carefully placed to elicit the deepest response from the listener.

With, Caviar For Seagulls, Aistis has cemented his place as one of the most compelling voices in alternative folk. His willingness to expose his vulnerabilities, experiment with sound, and push the boundaries of storytelling results in an album that lingers long after the final note fades.
