about

What sets "Otherworld" apart is the harmonious blending of works by two composers with distinctive compositional voices: Michael McGlynn and Yasunori Mitsuda.

Both composers engage listeners deeply but do so in complementary ways that mutually enrich the album's theme. "Otherworld" includes four tracks from Mitsuda all of which feature on the video game Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and additional pieces composed/arranged by McGlynn.

The album also features "Heyr himna smiður" by Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson, reflecting the significant contribution of Icelandic voices and inspiration to the project which was recorded at Sundlaugin Studios outside Reykjavík.

"Otherworld" is designed to engage, question, and inspire. It seeks to offer an alternative soundscape - one that exists apart from our world but is intimately connected to our personal emotions and reflections.

This is just a plain great record. This Japanese band are massively inventive and this record marked a tonal shift in their work. Our stablemates M'ANAM feature on the opening track. Not to be missed. ANÚNA

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance. Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
