Picture a Portishead universe where Beth Gibbons
stumbles from a dimly lit cave into a desolate post-future,
aware yet meandering, where songs of closure and
triumph resonate, where unclad vocals are anchored by
textured samples, at times sullen but always effectual.
Somewhere There’s Music is a record for fraught times,
the result of quarantine-induced reassessment and
reawakening. In Icelandic, SUNDUR means “apart.”

Savannah (Filipina out of LA) and Platurn (The Bay, by way
of Iceland) present Somewhere There's Music, 12 tracks of
woven melodies and scenic backdrops, not unlike the
pantheon of greats who precede them—Thievery
Corporation and Sault, nods to early Massive Attack, even
touches of Air.

An unlikely union during unlikely times, the two sum up
their collaboration thusly: “Somewhere There’s Music is an
ode to resilience. With hints of jazz, folk, soul, funk, and
lounge throughout, the album is largely experimental.
The lyrics are on themes of isolation, anger, grief, regret,
and heartbreak; there’s a toughness with a sense of hope
and upliftment. Ultimately, a reflective record that hits
many of the emotions that humanity went through
during the whole of 2020 and beyond.”
