LP – Limited Edition ‘Blue Of The Water’ Coloured Vinyl. Includes lyrics. eor, the second album from Breton musician and songwriter QUINQUIS (aka milie Quinquis).

The album which means anchor in Breton takes inspiration from time milie spent at sea, leaving her island to go sailingfrom Brittany to the Faroe Islands, via Ireland and the Scottish Islands. More specifically, it was inspired by the foggy
movements she witnessed, far out to sea, that resembled mermaids. While thinking about sailors over the centuries who hadalso seen what she had seen, she began to imagine how these powerful sirens might appear in contemporary life. Over eight
tracks, she weaves stories about mermaids that would like to be sailors, mermaids have fallen in love with mermaids, andmermaids that were cursed for wanting to love like humans, all the time celebrating the enchantment, the power and themystery of these fantastical creatures, and the role they play, especially in communities with direct links to the sea.

Written, produced and performed by milie Quinquis and the celebrated producer Gareth Jones. A card drawn from BrianEno & Peter Schmidts Oblique Strategies instructed her to find a safe area, use it as an anchor and, after finding her space,
she set to work. Ideas emerged acoustically, and were built upon with modular and analogue electronics, creating animmersive and singular world driven by milies sublime vocals. The album is sung mainly in Breton with two guests singing in
their own languages: triple harpist and composer Cerys Hafana sings Blaz an holen in Welsh, while labelmate Desire Mareasings Inkanuko in Zulu. Inkanuko (meaning desire in Zulu) opens the album with milies gossamer voice, beforeelectronics give way to Desire Mareas tender vocal as the pair deliver surely the first track sung in both Breton and Zulu.

milie explains that, its a song about making sure that little flame inside of you is not going to die. Desire was an amazingperson to help kick off the idea for the whole album.
