Directed by Lasse Hoile (Steven Wilson / Opeth), A Sort Of Homecoming is a stunning concert film of Anathema’s show on March 7th 2015 in the spectacular setting of the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.
Formed in the mid 90s, Anathema have risen to become one of the UK’s most
cherished and critically acclaimed rock bands. With their star rising ever
higher, Anathema returned in 2014 with Distant Satellites . The new studio
album showcased another imperious forward step into the realm of miraculous
songwriting. It has proved to be the band’s most
widely acclaimed & celebrated record across the globe.
During 2014 & 15 the band toured the world extensively to promote
Distant Satellites
both as a full band and also with a stripped down acoustic show. In March
2015 the band played an acoustic tour of Cathedrals in the UK that culminated
in a sold out show in their hometown of Liverpool in the city’s ornate and
beautiful Anglican Cathedral.
Having previously worked with Anathema on their acclaimed Universal concert film, Lasse Hoile captured the 100 minute acoustic set in high definition. Featuring 15 songs selected from the albums their Kscope discography, Daniel Cavanagh, Vincent Cavanagh, Jamie Cavanagh and Lee Douglas were accompanied throughout by David Wesling on cello alongside special guest, the renowned violinist, Anna Phoebe, on a haunting rendition of ‘Anathema’.
The audio has been produced and mixed by Christer-André Cederberg who worked
on
Distant Satellites, with the cover and booklet artwork featuring the stunning
photography from the show and behind the scenes by long time collaborator
Caroline Traitler.
Kscope present A Sort Of Homecoming as a 2CD+DVD-V set in a media book with a 24 page colour booklet. The set features the full 100minute audio and DVD-V with 5.1 audio mixed by The Pineapple Thief's Bruce Soord.
