Yann Tiersen – Rathlin From A Distance The Liquid Hour 2LP

NEW. SEALED.

Mute U.S. Records

Yann Tiersen unveils his latest two-part album, Rathlin from a Distance The Liquid Hour, released via Mute. Rathlin from a Distance The Liquid Hour is an album divided into two distinct, interconnected parts, each with it s own unique sonic characteristics: Rathlin from a Distance is eight tracks of introspective instrumental piano, The Liquid Hour is an expansive, genre-defying blend of electronic music and psychedelic rhythms. Rathlin from a Distance – named after an island in Northern Ireland – features eight instrumental piano pieces, each named after a location Tiersen visited during his 2023 sailing tour. From the Atlantic s Fastnet Lighthouse to the Faroe Islands, Shetland, and the tranquil waters of the Caledonian Canal in Scotland, these tracks reflect a journey of self-discovery and self. Tiersen s piano work creates an almost hypnotic atmosphere, each stop on the journey marking a deeper level of consciousness. The music evokes a sense of space, introspection, and quiet contemplation.
