sassenach - Passages (2023)

Sassenach is a Gaelic word meaning "stranger" or "intruder". The stranger is often on the move, passing through somewhere, possibly in transition to another country or a better life. Most of the songs on our debut album, "Passages", relate to these existential shifts and periods of transition, often unstable and high in emotion, including the passage to the afterlife and encounters with the supernatural world.
