Sule Skerry

A maritime triptych centerpiece. Piano and strings weathered by salt air, field recordings of the North Sea, and the haunting lilt of Orkney dialect.

May 17, 2019 · Phases

A salt-crusted, maritime serenity that feels both ancient and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the opening track 'Haar' emerges through a thick layer of static and bird calls like a ship appearing through fog.

The rhythmic, percussive pulse of 'First of the Tide' that mimics the relentless push and pull of the North Sea.

The sprawling eight-minute centerpiece 'Flattie' where the strings slowly dissolve into a wash of ambient electronics.
