Some voyages begin in hope and end in the deep. Sixteen years on from their last record, Anchors, Mermaids & Sails is The Outcast Band’s most unflinching work – eleven songs about the people we lose, the people we become, and the distance between the two. From the sirens of Bury Me At Sea to the harbour lights of the closing track, Damien Kay’s lyrics chart the waters between loss and homecoming with an honesty that stays with you long after the tide goes out. Salt-worn, tender, and dedicated to those we have all loved and lost.
