City Of Ships
Ultraluminal
Post-Hardcore outfi t CITY OF SHIPS present their new album. Since forming in 2006, CITY OF SHIPS have consistently impressed audiences with their distinctive brand of heavy, down-tuned melodic rock. Their third full-length, ,Ultraluminal", finds the band building sonic skyscrapers on the foundations laid by their previous two LPs. With its ten expertly-crafted new songs co-produced by veteran recordist ANDREW SCHNEIDER (BIG BUSINESS, CAVE IN, PELICAN) and mastered by CARL SAFF (GUIDED BY VOICES, YOUNG WIDOWS), the album is an unequivocal game-changing declaration from one of Americas most compelling Underground bands. ,Ultraluminal" marks its territory with expansive guitar work, growling bass lines, and thunderous drumming. Vocalist ERIC JERNIGAN harnesses his trademark shifts from soaring, gravelthroated anthems into tranquilizing melodic bliss, just as the songs themselves effortlessly cascade in coruscating crashes. Tracks like "Alarm" and "Medata Blues" demonstrate immaculate poise and imaginative lyrical prowess as City Of Ships keeps a white-knuckled grip on their surging dynamics
