“»Outlander« was the first song we worked on for the »A Dream Of Lasting Peace« album. It was one of those songs that came to us in a very natural way. The lyrics paved the way for the common thread that the rest of the album’s tracks would come to follow. A big part of that was how everyone in the band contributed to the songwriting – something that really defined the creative process this time around. This live recording features the extra energy and tension that the song deserves.”
The ‘Dynamic Root Rock Experience’ remains the most fitting description of Siena Root’s sound – and that’s exactly what the Swedish quartet’s new double live album, »Made in KuBa«, delivers. Out worldwide on October 3, 2025 via Perception – a division of Reigning Phoenix Music, the album is available to pre-order now.
Recorded over three intimate nights in March 2024 at Germany’s legendary Kulturbahnhof (KuBa) in Jena, the release picks up where 2011’s »Root Jam« left off, cranks the tape machines even harder, and continues the band’s commitment to authentic, audiophile sound.
The band’s signature jams are all here: rich in improvisation, dynamic contrasts, and sonic storytelling. To ensure the highest analogue fidelity, long-time sound engineer Ove Noring was brought in as tape operator to record the shows and track every note, jam and thunderous applause direct to tape – no overdubs, no studio tricks, just pure stage energy.

The Siena Root quartet – anchored by founding members Sam Riffer (bass) and Love Forsberg (drums & percussion), and rounded out by Zubaida Solid (vocals & keys) and Johan Borgström (guitars) – welcomed guest musicians Erik Peterson on keys and Lisa Isaksson on flute to further enrich the performance on selected songs.
What sets »Made in KuBa« apart from other live albums is its uncompromising authenticity: a fully live, all-analogue recording with a set list crafted together with fans, featuring twelve tracks from across the band’s catalogue – none of them repeated from »Root Jam«. The result is not just a document of three unforgettable nights in Jena – it’s a fully immersive experience that bridges the space between stage and speaker. And this time, they’ve gone a step further: »Made in KuBa« was mastered at half-speed, a meticulous process that enhances the sonic depth of the vinyl version.
“Half-speed mastering is an old-school technique that vinyl lovers will recognize,” the band says. “It’s a delicate but complex process that makes »Made in KuBa« an even more three-dimensional listening experience – for you and for us.”
