Sirens is the second studio album by composer and electronic music artist Nicolas Jaar, released on September 30, 2016 by Other People. Influenced by Chilean history and politics, as well as his own personal life, Sirens has received acclaim from both independent music and electronic music publications.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Sirens received an average score of 78, based on 12 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Jonah Bromwich, writing for Pitchfork Media, gave Sirens a positive review, stating, "Sirens is a thoughtful study in contrasts, both musical and political. It's only Nicolas Jaar's second LP, but it is the mark of an enduring electronic composer"; he gave the album a "Best New Music" designation. Nina Corcoran, writing for Consequence of Sound, gave the album a "B" grade and said, "Though it seems fleeting, Jaar’s hypnotizing songs cradle you until you reach a point of illumination, a bubble of sound that feels limitless in its elongated, looped second, a dance to softened fragments."
All tracks written by Nicolas Jaar.
On the vinyl version of the album, Killing Time is listed as three separate tracks (Mirrors, Killing Time, and Sirens).
