The album – which means “anchor” in Breton – takes inspiration from time Émilie spent at sea, leaving her island to go sailing from Brittany to the Faroe Islands, via Ireland and the Scottish Islands. More specifically, it was inspired by the foggy movements she witnessed, far out to sea, that resembled mermaids. While thinking about sailors over the centuries who had also seen what she had seen, she began to imagine how these powerful sirens might appear in contemporary life. Over eight tracks, she weaves stories about mermaids that would like to be sailors, mermaids have fallen in love with mermaids, and mermaids that were cursed for wanting to love like humans, all the time celebrating the enchantment, the power and the mystery of these fantastical creatures, and the role they play, especially in communities with direct links to the sea. Written, produced and performed by Émilie Quinquis and the celebrated producer Gareth Jones.
A card drawn from Brian Eno & Peter Schmidt’s Oblique Strategies instructed her to “find a safe area, use it as an anchor” and, after finding her space, she set to work. Ideas emerged acoustically, and were built upon with modular and analogue electronics, creating an immersive and singular world driven by Émilie’s sublime vocals. The album is sung mainly in Breton with two guests singing in their own languages: triple harpist and composer Cerys Hafana sings ‘Blaz an holen’ in Welsh, while labelmate Desire Marea sings ‘Inkanuko’ in Zulu. ‘Inkanuko’ (meaning “desire” in Zulu) opens the album with Émilie’s gossamer voice, before electronics give way to Desire Marea’s tender vocal as the pair deliver surely the first track sung in both Breton and Zulu. Émilie explains that, “…it’s a song about making sure that little flame inside of you is not going to die. Desire was an amazing person to help kick off the idea for the whole album.”

SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
