Siena Root is a Swedish rock band from Stockholm known for 60s/70s-influenced psychedelic and hard rock, drawing on Hammond, sitar and extended jam formats.

Reviews note the band's retro 60s/70s sound, extensive use of analog recording, Hammond organ, Eastern instruments (sitar, tablas, etc.), flute, long suite-format compositions (Different Realities comprises two >25-minute suites), and a celebratory live double album (Root Jam). Reviewers mention contributors such as K.G. West and Sam Riffer and reference a female flautist (Anna Sandberg) and singers appearing as guests in live contexts.

DeBaser reviews praise Siena Root's 60s/70s-informed psychedelic hard rock, highlighting analogue warmth, extended suites and Eastern instrumentation. Kaleidoscope is celebrated as a high point; Different Realities is noted for its two long suites and philological exotic evocations; Root Jam is a generous, analogue-feel live document. Overall reviewers admire the band's authentic retro approach and jam-oriented performances.

For:Fans of 60s/70s psychedelic and hard rock, listeners who prefer analog production and extended jam suites.

 All the power of analog.

 Not a masterpiece. Rather, a damn fine old-school hard rock album, perhaps nostalgic but never pathetic, proudly flaunting its derivativeness like it was a medal.

 The first suite ends, "We", and the second begins, "The road to Agartha": the album, by the way, consists of only these two suites, both over 25 minutes long, but it's not a problem: lie down and relax, don't think, just listen.
