Tall Ships are one of life's real pleasures.
The band recently decided to pull themselves together and head back into the studio, and have emerged with a belter of a single.
New cut 'Meditations On Loss' is online now, and it's driven by a brutal, almost post-punk bass line.
Heavyweight scenes, the crunching drum sound is matched to an urgent, impassioned vocal – think early Editors, or even elements of A Place To Bury Strangers.
Check it out now.
Alongside this, Tall Ships have announced a batch of UK dates. The band will support Lonely The Brave on tour, and these shows will be interspersed with some headline slots…
