Wonder Where We Land is the second studio album from British producer Sbtrkt. It was released on 7 October 2014 through Young Turks.[2]
For Wonder Where We Land, Sbtrkt aimed to expand the concept of the Sbtrkt identity belonging to one person by diverging from the club-inspired and minimal approach of his first album. In order to achieve this, Sbtrkt brought in a larger array of singers and musicians and conducted sessions in the US and the UK, notably Osea, a remote island of the coast of Essex. Sbtrkt and Sbtrkt's visual collaborator, A Hidden Place chose to visually reflect this expansion of the Sbtrkt identity by depicting the concept of Sbtrkt as an unknown quadrupedal masked creature on the artwork of this album.[3]
The record is dedicated to Sbtrkt's older brother, Daniel, who died from cancer during the album's creation.[4]
