Best Of Unplucked

After landing a #7 spot in the UK Physical Artist Albums Chart with ‘Dig The Mountain!’,
selling out a 14-date UK tour and performing at Glastonbury 2024, Stornoway now release
the ‘Best of Unplucked’ – a limited edition album featuring hand-picked versions of their
much loved ‘unplucked’ recordings from their career to date.
Featuring brand new versions of favourites including ’Zorbing’ and ‘Farewell Appalachia’, as
well as Talking Heads’ ‘This Must Be The Place’ and Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy The Silence’,
plus recordings from the 4AD vault (‘Beachcombers Windowsill’ and Tales From Terra
Firma’), live favourite ‘The Only Way Is Up’ (‘Bonxie Unplucked’), and ‘Dig The Mountain!’
Shed Sessions, this is Stornoway in their most natural form, and perhaps their most beautiful.
Stornoway will be playing a special ‘Unplucked’ show at the Union Chapel on 16th
December.
Letter from the band:
“We have been fortunate to have the chance to perform and record in some unforgettable
locations over the years, from boats to bird reserves, caves to cathedrals. The only way to
make this possible has often been to play completely unamplified, or ‘unplucked’ as we like
to call it, which has meant creating special arrangements of our songs using acoustic
instruments. We are passionate about enjoying and protecting nature, and by playing
unplucked, we have been able to bring people into wild spaces. In the absence of amps or
PA systems we have often found that the connection of our audiences to our music, to each
other, and to the natural world becomes stronger, and these intimate, often impromptu,
performances have resulted in some of our most cherished memories as a band. We hope
you enjoy this selection of our favourite ‘unplucked’ recordings over the last 15 years.”
Love, Stornoway
