    Hether Blether is Erland Cooper's third and final album in a trilogy of releases shaped by the islands where he grew up. Hailing from the archipelago of Orkney in Scotland, the contemporary composer and multi-instrumentalist has explored the birdlife (2018’s Solan Goose), sea (2019’s Sule Skerry) and, on Hether Blether, the land, manifesting an immersive collection of music, words and imagery.

    “an unmitigated triumph, and with Hether Blether, Cooper saves the best for last"- The Quietus

    “Magical and moving, Hether Blether is as homely as a ceilidh and as awe-inspiring as a storm” - Q 4/5

    “Sometimes hope is exactly what you need” - Loud & Quiet 8/10

    "direct, personal and heartfelt..” - Music OHM

    "a special thing to experience the resolve of a perfectly formed trilogy.. a vast, lush, mass of movement, colour and life." - NARC 10/10

    "carefully calibrated collection of panoramic songs.. stretches out like the horizons of Cooper's memory” - Long Live Vinyl 4/5

    "a sublime and poetic love letter.. one that gently drifts and swells with a subtle grandness" - Buzz Mag 4/5

    "a beacon of light waiting for you to come home. Achingly beautiful..one of the finest modern classical albums in recent years.” - Higher Plain 10/10

    "Paints delicate pictures with undulating orchestrations and understated phrases.. ruminates with gentle confidence" - Songlines

    "beautifully fragile.. about time and memory sees him bring the curtain down on his Orkney tryptch" - The Big Issue 4/5
