Based on the local and natural history of her neighbourhood in Sheffield, Liz Hanks’ ‘Land’ album explores both the loss of nature in the urban environment and forgotten natural worlds. She discovered that the now urban area of Meersbrook was once a beautiful valley called ‘Rush Dale’. Inspired by reading written accounts of this lost valley she created ‘Land’ in remembrance of these lost times and places.
NEW RELEASE 2024 - Land Remixed
Out now - The ‘Land Remixed’ digital EP features reworks of tracks from ‘Land’ by Jason Singh, Leafcutter John, Haiku Salut and Richard Norris.
