Biography

Listing Ships are an Oxford-based, nautically-inspired instrumental post-krautrock band. Everything about their songs reflects the band’s obsession with ships and the sea, from the titles and samples collected everywhere from Venice to Blackpool, right down to the songs’ very construction, based upon and often built around tales of the sea. The band produced their latest 12”, The Hayling Island Sessions, by converting an RNLI lifeboat station into a recording studio, with artwork and samples collected from the surrounding area.

Musically, Listing Ships take inspiration from classic krautrock like Can, Harmonia, Neu!, Ash Ra Tempel; sample-heavy, intricate electronica like Boards of Canada, Amon Tobin, Seefeel; expansive, exploratory guitar music like Tarentel,The Alps, Collections of Colonies of Bees; kings of the soundtrack world like Clint Mansell and Krzysztof Penderecki.

Listing Ships have performed alongside the likes of Damo Suzuki, Health, The Big Pink, Karma To Burn, Arbouretum, Mark Gardener (Ride) and Tall Ships, and have played at festivals including Truck, Audioscope and Supernormal, as well as in venues including art galleries and record stores.
