Yann Tiersen’s Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour is a two-part album released on Mute, blending distinct sonic worlds. Rathlin from a Distance features eight introspective solo piano pieces inspired by places from Tiersen’s 2023 sailing tour around Northern Ireland and Scotland, evoking calm and reflection. In contrast, The Liquid Hour bursts with expansive electronic sounds, hypnotic grooves, ambient textures, and stirring vocals by QUINQUIS, capturing a more urgent, outward-looking energy.
