More Info

Basque artist Elena Setién shapes the ethereal into the immediate on the stunningly pristine songs of ‘Unfamiliar Minds’. Her command of melody and resolute voice are
complemented by lush arrangements that surround the listener in a world of intimate beauty.

Setién is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, collaborator and improviser, having worked with artists like Mary Lattimore and Steve Gunn, as well as composing for film and television.

On ‘Unfamiliar Minds’, Setién reflects on isolation and confusion and harnesses uncertainty with optimism on ten ghostly wonders that capture ineffable feelings in
radiant detail.

Produced by Xabier Erkizia, with whom Setién also composed ‘Mirande’ and the soundtrack for ‘Altsasu’, a 2020 Basque TV miniseries.

Mastered by Denmark’s RedRedPaw Mastering (Oh Wonder, Colleen).

LP with full colour inner sleeve and lyrics plus digital
download card.

Available to independent retailers on translucent blue
vinyl.

“Her songwriting invites curious listeners in, adding texture and complexity where we may not have found it ourselves.” - Pitchfork

“Confident and auspicious... Setién masterfully creates a musical space to cultivate social progress.” - PopMatters (9/10)
