All - Yann Tiersen - Vinyl LP Record (Arrives in 50 days)

ALL is the first album to be recorded at Tiersen’s new studio, venue and community centre, The Eskal, built in an abandoned discotheque on Ushant, a small island positioned in the Celtic sea between Brittany and Cornwall, Tiersen’s home for the past 15 years. Mixed and produced by Tiersen and Gareth Jones, ALL incorporates field recordings from Brittany, Devon, at the decommissioned Tempelhof airport in Berlin (‘Tempelhof’) and for ‘Usal Road’, Tiersen returned to a particularly significant spot in California (situated on the Lost Coast) to record violin. Usal Road holds symbolic meaning to Tiersen after he was chased by a mountain lion there in 2014, an event which triggered a renewed and deeper connection to nature and specifically our humble place within it.

Predominately sung in Breton, the album features several guest vocalists. As well as Anna von Hausswolff, who released Dead Magic this year, described by MOJO as “her finest work to date”, Olavur JAkupsson collaborates on ‘Erc’h’ and Breton singer-songwriters Denez Prigent (‘Gwennilied’), Emilie Tiersen and Gaelle Kerrien all feature on the album.
