Public Service Broadcasting Return With ‘White Star Liner’

Check out the title track of their new EP...

Public Service Broadcasting have confirmed plans for their new EP 'White Star Liner'.

It's been a busy summer for the band, playing a stunning set at Green Man and completing a Titanic themed commissioned for BBC's Biggest Ever Weekend.

Indeed, this latter project prompted their latest release – 'White Star Liner' was of course the name of the company that managed the Titanic's ill-fated maiden journey.

A four track EP, the material was debuted during their Titanic themed show in Belfast, and will be released Play It Again Sam on October 26th, with a vinyl drop to follow on December 7th.

J. Willgoose, Esq. of Public Service Broadcasting says: “I thought it was an interesting challenge to tell the story of the ship's construction as part of Belfast's proud industrial history, the spirit of optimism of the pre-war age that she represented, and then an abstract and, I hope, respectful depiction of both the sinking of the ship (represented by the repeated Morse code distress call, C – Q – D) and the discovery of the wreck in 1985.”

Title track 'White Star Liner' is online now, and it's surging energy recalls the ship's proud bow cutting through Atlantic waves; interspersed with clipped vowel spoken word, it's sheer Public Service Broadcasting.
