Other Lands Archipelagos

Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 release, a solo outing from long time friend and contributor to Athens of the North, Other Lands aka Gavin L. Sutherland. Channelling his considerable improvisational skills to evoke notions of island life, his concept was to create something that could work equally well in the wilds of the Western Isles as in the sunnier spots of the world that we all yearned to escape to at that time. The more he played with this idea of groups of islands, of archipelagos the world over, the more it also became about people themselves experiencing isolation as individuals, while still feeling a sense of togetherness with others in the same boat.
