(Hungover in) Siberia is Pie Are Squared's third release and the first part of an ongoing trilogy; a venturesomely bold series of interrelated recordings. (Hungover in) Siberia plays as one long-form composition that is constructed with deliberate melodrama to pay homage to a plethora of human emotions, partly inspired by the seemingly infinite Siberian landscapes. Autobiographical in nature, the music expresses the protagonist’s loneliness and longing to rejuvenate his soul and assuage his mind, and his journey through his own personal looking-glass into a hallucinatory world.

"...Ashraf demonstrates the shrouded brilliance that can be found within one's self, if one only takes the time to seek it out. In this way, (Hungover In) Siberia should not so much be seen as a collection of tracks, but a narrative…and one that is well worth discovering" (The Silent Ballet)
"It’s quite fascinating how such minimal tracks can pack so much emotion and transcend the most vulnerable of feelings..." (
