Wonder Where We Land is the second studio album from British producer SBTRKT. It was released on 7 October 2014 through Young Turks. [2]
For Wonder Where We Land, SBTRKT aimed to expand the concept of the SBTRKT identity belonging to one person by diverging from the club-inspired and minimal approach of SBTRKT's first album. In order to achieve this, SBTRKT brought in a larger array of singers and musicians and conducted sessions in the USA and the UK, notably Osea, a remote island of the coast of Essex. SBTRKT and SBTRKT's visual collaborator, A Hidden Place chose to visually reflect this expansion of the SBTRKT identity by depicting the concept of SBTRKT as an unknown quadrupedal masked creature on the artwork of this album. [3]
The record is dedicated to SBTRKT's older brother, Daniel, who died from cancer during the album's creation. [4]
