Ahead of the release of their debut album, ‘Spring Tide’, The Shipbuilders release their latest single, ‘Forest Floor’ via Mai 68 Records on Friday 29th April.
An eerie, psychedelic shuffle that brings to mind the freakier sides of Love and The Coral, ‘Forest Floor’ features a bass-led groove that descends into chaos with an extended outro made up of ghostly, wordless vocals, wailing harmonica and tumbling piano, all blown about by a storm of reverb-heavy guitars and relentless motorik drums.
Speaking of the track, lead singer Matty Loughlin-Day explains “the song sings of an impending storm, prophesised by an old sage and queries whether there is hope left in the town or whether it’s best to return to the land and find safety. Ultimately, the hero of the song is trying to find his best to way to survive on the line between the smug and the damned”

Just a happy, jangly song. Hope to add lyrics to it soon :)

How did I end up getting involved in the very existence I planned on avoiding?         

Wendy was a writer with talent, 
Then she fell in love and now she’s married to Alan,
And all that Wendy writes are her letters to Sharon		

Sharon shares a similar sense of resentment, 
For her love she’s moving to a town that she’s not even heard of
But anyway, anyway, they get to go abroad on holiday...

There’s a spider in my bed, imagine that, imagine that, 
Though he sits and he stares that creepy crawly doesn’t answer back, answer back,
Looks at me as if he knows the answer to the question that I pose… 

How did I end up getting involved in, the very existence I planned on avoiding?   

Now Wendy wishes things had been different and Sharon shuttles kids to the pictures
Though it’s hardly the worst situation on Earth,
There’s a perishing of cherished things and memories are blurred... 
But anyway, anyway, they get to go abroad on holiday...

There’s a spider in my bed, imagine that, imagine that, 
Though he sits and he stares that creepy crawly doesn’t answer back, answer back,
Looks at me as if he knows the answer to the question that I pose…

This is a song I wrote during the isolated times of Covid, wishing to be with my loved ones who were far away, but couldn't.  Hoping and wishing for freedom.

“JOY RIDE” is an 80s inspired RnB/Funk/Pop song & our most ambitious to date. It’s now quite common for artists to try too hard to have overly deep meanings to songs, we just wanted to put out a song that people could have fun when listening to & not to think too much about its lyrics. Essentially, it’s about car sex.
