For those of you unfamiliar with the topography of England, the Pennines is an upland range of hills, deeply indented by valleys that form the geological spine of the country. They straddle several counties, including Yorkshire and Lancashire and contain numerous towns and cities spawned as a result of the industrial revolution which marked the landscape with chimneys, mills and railway viaducts.

Xqui lives in Lancashire, Spybey in Yorkshire. This collaboration is a meeting of northern minds born out of a desire to document in some way and to hopefully celebrate the quiet, austere beauty of the Pennines, the people who live in the area and the impact that they have had on the landscape itself.

It does not take long to travel from east to west, through Yorkshire and into Lancashire. The landscape does not change dramatically when crossing the county lines. Things change slowly, almost imperceptibly. The traditional industries have all but gone, the mills afford homes for salubrious suburban dwellers. It rains a great deal, the grass is always green, the hills are adorned with echoes of the past: iconic structures, memorials, ingenious inventions, poets, navvies and the ghosts of the people who lived and worked on the hills, in the fields and in the factories. Building a better future.

Released by eMERGENGY heARTS and Re:Mission: Entertainment, July 2023.
