Other Lives - Volume V

Fakta Volume V follows on five years after their fourth album For Your Love, a record lovingly nurtured but then swallowed up by the Covid pandemic. The title signifies the latest chapter in the ongoing story of Other Lives, their fifth record of magnificent musical and emotional depth. The majority of Volume V was recorded in The Sheerar, a former church that is now the Stillwater History Museum. The Sheerar’s acoustics partly accounts for the album’s more cathedral-esque take on Other Lives’ signature sound, which has the roots in a form of Americana but expanded via classical and post-classical forms, and the influence of iconic composers such as Ennio Morricone and Henry Mancini.
