Following the acclaim of his 2024 release “Clay” — which earned rotation on SIRIUS XM and a spot among DOMINIONATED’s “50 best albums of the year” — Aistis solidifies his standing as a bold voice in alternative folk, fearlessly intertwining poetic introspection with sonic daring. With a sharp blend of wit and unflinching honesty, Lithuanian-Canadian singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Aistis returns with his third full-length album, Caviar For Seagulls—an unfiltered confrontation of the self, where ego is dismantled and inner truths are laid bare.

Caviar For Seagulls unfolds like an intimate reckoning—an unlocking of “a thousand rooms” in Aistis’ mind as he roams the fields of past missteps, searching not for closure, but for clarity. Steeped in the grandeur of Old Hollywood scores and the intricate architecture of classical compositions, the album sees Aistis at his most artistically liberated. Cinematic strings swell, pedal steel shimmers, and clarinet and saxophone solos drift like ghosts through the mix. Organ surges, trumpets blaze, and Mellotron whispers beneath layers of synth textures—each track a distinct vignette, yet collectively forming a fractured, hypnotic portrait of self-exploration.

Recorded at The Treatment Room in Montreal alongside engineer Gilles Castilloux and co-producer Niall Mutter, Caviar For Seagulls marks Aistis’ most unflinching and ambitious artistic leap. This album doesn’t just invite listeners into his world but pulls them, headfirst, into the depths of it. Lyrically, Aistis traverses a landscape of isolation, morality, mental unrest, and the slippery nature of memory—balancing his signature romantic irony with weightier meditations on forgiveness and identity. Throughout, Aistis wrestles with the solipsism of suffering and the fragile architecture of the psyche — but even as the weight of introspection looms, hope lingers.
