The Shipbuilders

About The Shipbuilders

Purveyors of a self-styled 'Gypsy Scouse Surf', and described by Chris Hawkins of 6Music as "Spaghetti Western with a Liverpool jangle... great surf-noir-shanty" The Shipbuilders combine the surreal with the sublime, drawing inspiration not only from classic Liverpudlian bands such as Shack, The La's and Jimmy Campbell, but from more distant shores; the fuzz of Galaxie 500, the reverb-soaked melody of The Growlers and the yearning of Leonard Cohen. Having released their debut album 'Spring Tide' in 2022, the band are due to release their second album 'This Blue Earth' in July 2025. Jump right in, the water's lovely; diddley-aye-ey x
