SBTRKT - Wonder Where We Land ALBUM REVIEW
Transcription
Background
For Wonder Where We Land, Sbtrkt aimed to expand the concept of the Sbtrkt identity belonging to one person by diverging from the club-inspired and minimal approach of his first album. In order to achieve this, Sbtrkt brought in a larger array of singers and musicians and conducted sessions in the US and the UK, notably Osea, a remote island of the coast of Essex. Sbtrkt and Sbtrkt's visual collaborator, A Hidden Place chose to visually reflect this expansion of the Sbtrkt identity by depicting the concept of Sbtrkt as an unknown quadrupedal masked creature on the artwork of this album.[3]
The record is dedicated to Sbtrkt's older brother, Daniel, who died from cancer during the album's creation.[4]
