Commissioned in 2009 to score Robert J. Flaherty’s 1934 film Man of Aran, Sea Power (then British Sea Power) created a sweeping, mostly instrumental soundtrack that echoed the film’s themes of survival and connection to nature. The project debuted live at the Edinburgh Film Festival, followed by performances at the BFI, remote islands, and festivals worldwide. Deeply aligned with the band’s environmental and historical fascinations, the score received critical acclaim for its emotional power and harmony with the film. Now reissued on vinyl, Man of Aran is hailed as an understated classic.
