Out now is the brand new Yann Tiersen single “Arne” (feat. Quinquis). This is the third single from his new album, “Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour” to be released on 4 April 2025 via Mute.
The new single is named in honour of Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss, the inspirational figure within the environmental movement and founder of the philosophy of Deep Ecology. Described by Tiersen as “a collection of anthems to revolution”, it was “The Liquid Hour” that Tiersen was working on when he understood “that systems had to be dismantled.”
Tiersen explains, “it’s trying to find the ways to wipe out capitalism and all the dark forces that are destroying the world. I want this to be in the headphones of someone as they take action.”
“Arne” follows the release of “Rathlin from a Distance”, and “Ninnog at Sea”.
