'Energy Islands' � The highly anticipated third studio album from acclaimed folk quartet, FARA.Energy Islands is inspired by the renewable energyinnovation taking place in our homeland of Orkney.Having been born and raised among its breathtakingnatural beauty, we wanted to highlight Orkney's rolein raising awareness of, and curbing, the climate crisis.The European Marine Energy Centre has been in Orkneysince 2003 and due to the islands' advantageousclimatic conditions, Orkney has become a key area forthe advancement in technologies harnessing greenenergy through tides, waves and wind. Orkney's naturalresources provide an invaluable contribution to theglobal effort to protect the fragilities of our planet.To us, this feels like a physical manifestation of theenergy that traditional music brings to our communities.As Laura Watts wrote in her book Energy at the End ofthe World: Feel the Energy Islands with all your senses'(Energy at the End of the World is published by The MIT Press)
