Joeski
I Will Rise / My Guitar

Other Lands aka Gavin L. Sutherland delivers a stunning second LP with long-time pals Athens Of The North. Gavin's concept was to create something that worked equally in the wilds of the Western Isles and in the sunnier spots of the world that we often yearn for. In playing with the idea of groups of islands, of archipelagos the world over, it became about people experiencing isolation individually, while still feeling a sense of community with those of shared experience. Using synths, drum machines and layered loops and tones, the result is a beautiful, spontaneous, timeless and honest meditation on what it is to be at once both alone and part of a larger whole.

Sydney-based label Planet Trip lock in with Lord Echo drummer Cory Champion (Borrowed CS on this release) for four biggies. As you'd expect, all four tracks feature tight and diverse percussive rhythms. It's jackin', woozy, synth-heavy heaven for the club or a late-night drive. Limited 300 copies, no repress!
