Tall Ships

Having just announced a free tour with labelmates Men, I thought it would be worth checking out TALL SHIPS, and I wasn't dissapointed.

Signed to Indie-weight label Big Scary Monsters, the Falmouth three piece play low key but complex folked up indie, thankfully with dry irony and none of the naivete you sometimes see from bands from the, erm... provinces.

The tracks on their Myspace are a preview of their forthcoming eponymous EP and are a good slice of what to expect. From cheeky irony laden synth noise ("Books") to soaring atmospheric scapes channeling latter day British Sea Power ("Vessels") via melodic post-rock ("Words are pegs onto which we hang ideas").

I've ordered the EP, maybe you should too.
