about

Tall Ships, originally from Falmouth but now living in Brighton, have been garnering attention across the blogosphere, printed press and radio with their complex, layered and beautiful soundscapes and intelligent songwriting to create music that still manages to have the potential for mass appeal.

Elements of math rock and angular pop have drawn inevitable comparisons to the likes of Battles and Minus The Bear but the band cite the likes of Sigur Ros, Prince and Explosions In The Sky as their musical influences.

Live Tall Ships are a must see band, mesmerising to watch, with such energy and deftness you can't help but be amazed by them. They are fast gaining a well-deserved reputation as one of the most innovative and exciting live bands in the UK right now. They tour relentlessly and have honed the show into a thrilling experience, both aurally and visually as layers of sound and vocals are cleverly and deftly assembled to startling effect.

"The mathy skronk of Battles, Foals' wounded hearts and The xx's sense of space, all tempered by a freeness of mind that only comes from breathing a dose of sea air each morning" - NME
