Love this track man, love the way the acoustic is carrying the melody without being buried or too much, it's just in the right spot

Great track Love the lo fi feel some nice guitar licks

Love the acoustic vibe and arrangement of this track

A very nicely produced song with a really nice guitar riff holding it together.  Nice breaks, too.

Nice track with loose almoat improvised feel

You have really distinctive song structures, combined with such mesmerising arrangements and such a unique vocal sound: words as a substitute for applause…

Superb riff, each instrument you play adds another dimension to it, all weaving in and out. Great lyrics. I am really enjoying listening to your songs this afternoon and I can see by now that you like your vocals a little low in the mix to create your own vibe. Just my preference, I would love the vocals up a gnats cock. They seem just too good not to hear more of them. Excellent work.

A southern gothic / blues rock song about making a swift exit

LYRICS:

The hand was dealt and the aces were turned
Spread out on felt when the houses were burned
The anvil was black and the dresses were red
You counted up all of your blessings and fled

The hounds love were released out of spite
They found you alone and afraid in the night
The trial was a loaded and sordid affair
Beguiled by betrayal and formed in despair

Ooh, you're hanging for your crimes
and it's only a matter of time before they find you out
Oh, you'd better keep walking
It's only a matter of time

You try to run but your legs fall off
You pull a gun but it's not enough
The sun is setting on another day
Your will to live is slowly ebbing away

Oh, you'd better keep walking
It's only a matter of time

Ooh, you're hanging for your crimes
and it's only a matter of time before they find you out
Oh, you'd better keep walking
It's only a matter of time

Only a Matter of Time

The Welton Shipwreck is a UK-based rock duo made up of Stu Head and John Culkin. Formed at the start of the 2020 pandemic lockdown period, their songs are written and recorded by means of long-distance collaboration from their homes in Scotland and Yorkshire. The music they make combines elements of shoegaze, post rock, folk and psychedelic.

Stu and John are old friends of over 20 years. Both originally from the Greater Manchester area, they met at university in Leeds in 2000. The band name refers to a street they lived on as students.

Both Stu and John sing, play guitar, bass, keyboards and drums across their various tracks (along with a few less conventional instruments.) They mix and produce all of their own music.

New tracks always in the works and posted right here!
