A man washes ashore on an island. He is severely wounded and doesn't remember where he came from. A woman takes the stranded man in and tries to nurse him back to health. She tells him stories about her island. Strange tales of strange inhabitants, of monsters that lurk in caves, girls that sell seaweed and vagrants that know the truth. In the fever dreams of the stranded man her stories mingle with the shadows from his troubled past.

The mesmerizing alt-folk songs of Amsterdam singer-songwriter VanWyck are sometimes sparse and intimate, sometimes darkly overpowering. She has built up an intriguing body of work that has been embraced by listeners all over the world. VanWyck has released 5 albums: An Average Woman (2018) Molten Rock (2019) God is in the Detour (2020) The Epic Tale of the Stranded Man (2022) Dust Chaser (2024)
