Description
This year sees the release of a first cinematic album by Mars Smith,Faroe Islands: Echoes on the Wind. Daniela Mars and Paul Smith have created this new album of their own music inspired by the stunning natural beauty, stories, myths and legends of the Faroe Islands. The pair visited the Faroe Islands in December 2023 and spent time exploring, writing together, recording and filming different locations around the magical islands.
Across their visit, they have captured some scenes of breath taking natural beauty and taken inspiration from the rapidly changing elements around them to craft a 'spellbinding' musical response. Alongside the album, they are releasing a documentary created forLIVEFrom London. Daniela and Paul share their experiences and interweave the cinematically shot music videos that make up the new album, which is being released across 2024 by VOCES8 Records, and they are also thrilled to welcome Lyyra as guest artists on the album.
