Yann Tiersen - Rathlin From A Distance / The Liquid Hour - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2025 . 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. Album Tracks 1. Ninnog 2. Fastnet 3. Rathlin from a Distance 4. Tórshavn 5. Norðragøta 6. Papa Stour 7. Bigton 8.
