Sinai Vessel is best described as whatever music Caleb Cordes is making, which means Sinai Vessel has worn many different hats. For a period of time, Sinai Vessel was a three-piece band, charging ahead with Cordes’s howled vocals, crunchy electric guitars and broad angst on 2017’s Brokenlegged. It was a critical breakthrough, so naturally Cordes disassembled the band, moved to Nashville in 2019 and decided to do a sonic 180. On 2020’s Ground Aswim, Sinai Vessel was reintroduced as an indie folk project that had more in common with the sparse narratives of Allegra Krieger than the dense emo of the Hotelier. “It’s always been whatever my impulse leads me to do,” explains Cordes. “Because that’s been the precedent, it’s hard for me to change it.”

Cordes started Sinai Vessel at 16, and the project remains the direct extension of his musical whims and emotional insights. I Sing retains the stripped back sound of Ground Aswim, trafficking in plucked acoustic guitars, muted drum grooves and melodic, active basslines to support Cordes’s measured, clear lyricism. “I feel like this record is very much in the Ground Aswim universe and everything I make will be in that universe from this point forward,” he says. “Basically, I wanted to kind of do one better.” - Ethan Beck (Paste Magazine)
