Man of Aran is a powerful, provocative b&w documentary film by the late Robert Flaherty about the difficult daily life on the Aran Islands on the west coast of Ireland. British Sea Power created the accompanying soundtrack which conjures an earthy backdrop of finely crafted and nuanced music to accompany the film. British Sea Power’s slow-building indie rock and reverb-drenched bursts of guitar, trumpet and violin seamlessly enhance Man of Aran’s haunting, strange and studied beauty.
