Citizen Bravo is Matt Brennan, a dual citizen of Canada and Scotland. Citizen Bravo, his latest creative project, was conceived as a "music and research experiment." The album is a celebration of Scottish poet, singer, musician, songwriter, artist and humorist Ivor Cutler.

The underlying concept of the album was to resurrect the mythical island of Y’Hup - a territory which Ivor Cutler dreamt up and described throughout his early recordings.

Cinder Well is California-born, Irish-based songwriter Amelia Baker. Her music "strips traditional forms to their bones, creating a meditative, trance-like space for sonic healing."
