2025 release. Eor, the second album from Breton musician and songwriter QUINQUIS [pronounced CAN-KEES] (aka Émilie Quinquis). The album - which means "anchor" in Breton - takes inspiration from time Émilie spent at sea, leaving her island to go sailing from 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 had also 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, and mermaids that were cursed for wanting to love like humans, all the time celebrating the enchantment, the power and the mystery of these fantastical creatures, and the role they play, especially in communities with direct links to the sea. Written, produced and performed by Émilie Quinquis and the celebrated producer Gareth Jones.
