This album was recorded at the height of the windswept plague of 2020 on the island of Hydra, Greece in the Old Carpet Factory. The band found itself locked down, with no boats coming or going off the island. In this time, with the last sun kissed days turning to winter in the months of October and November. We sang in the ball room, dined in the old wine cellar and paced round the kitchen taking turns cooking 3 meals a day. We would turn off the stove or a cool a pot of boiling water if we wanted to record a vocal take. The old cobbled streets were our forum, and we would debate which way to go on our many walks. Songs were written as fast as we could, some new from on the island and some old were finished there. We met the ghost of the Old Carpet Factory. We gave her a name; we called her ‘Samandu’.Every time she liked a take the lights would flicker. That’s how we knew it was good.
She didn’t always flicker.
It was an ordinary time. It was a special time.
The album was later finished in France in 2021

Based in Paris, Oracle Sisters is composed of childhood friends Lewis Lazar and Christopher Willatt, and Finnish musician Julia Johansen. Their debut album, Hydranism, is set to be released in early 2023. Recorded on a remote island during the pandemic, it embraces larger than life ballads, intimate folk songs, table thumping rousers and a vision of the world suspended in a timeless place.
