Former folk singer Erland Cooper hit the headlines last year with his debut solo album, "Solan Goose", a set paid tribute to the birdlife of his native Orkney Isles via ambient electronics, sweeping neo-classical arrangements, evocative operatic style vocals and intricate, Nils Frahm style piano solos. This sequel - the second part in a promised trilogy - is named after a remote rock formation in the North Atlantic and was apparently inspired by the wild seas that frequently thunder against it. Musically it explores similar territory to its predecessor and is every bit as inspired, with cyclic melodic refrains, lonely string-drenched soundscapes and intricate arrangements conjuring mental images of slow boat journeys to Britain's most far-flung, windswept northern isles.
