British Sea Power - “Man of Aran” - Borrow It

text: Carrie Johnston

Man of Aran is British Sea Power‘s eerie atmospheric response to Robert Flaherty’s 1934 fiction-documentary about a primitive family living off the coast of Ireland. There are three things to be done while listening to this album: (1) watch “Man of Aran”; (2) be lulled to sleep; and (3) watch the ocean.

There was definitely a guy surfing in a wheelchair. I tried to capture it with my camera, but it was a total blur. He came over the barricade 3 times. The first time, he came over AFTER his wheelchair.
