Some are saying 'This Blue Earth' is the greatest album of 2025. We agree. Largely because that's us saying it. But either way, amidst the flurry of End of Year album lists we're not yet making, we'd recommend you get to know it Qobuz (recommended!) open.qobuz.com/album/e10t8r...

Well, it's officially Big Coat and Comfy Jumper Season and as such, it's the perfect time to listen to this, Episode 012 of Radio Shipwrecked - an introduction to Comfy Synth, a soothing, surreal world to wrap yourself in.. www.mixcloud.com/ClubShipwrec...

We've also released a bonus companion album, made up of remixes, demos and lost songs - featuring five recently unearthed songs from Matty's pre-Shipbuilders band, The Crystal Horses. Limited CDs available here.. theshipbuilders.bandcamp.com/album/these-...

As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'. I ask you. Do you stand with Greta Thunberg? Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

Delighted to have created these remixes for The Shipbuilders

Blimey, it's all go here in the Shipyard - get on this expanded line-up, as take @clubshipwrecked.bsky.social back to @futureyard.org The Shipbuilders Big Unit Agricultural Regime Gintis Motel Sundown Holy Gloam William William Rodgers ..with more stuff TBA.. futureyard.org/listings/the...

It's Bandcamp Friday again, which is always a big help for daft lads like us. We've reduced the price of our latest album, 'This Blue Earth' on CD & vinyl so those who are yet to get their mitts on it can do so, and can be more like Stanley.. theshipbuilders.bandcamp.com

Imagine being around for this, the birth of Rocksteady - it must have been absolutely magic. Today's Sunday Service is all about this glorious, if brief, scene. No chatter, just Rocksteady. www.mixcloud.com/ClubShipwrec...

This is great - some classic Rocksteady Reggae Soul to ease us all into the Day of Rest.. www.mixcloud.com/ClubShipwrec...

We've needed a bit of recuperation since the big launch of This Blue Earth, and are now gearing ourselves for getting out and about across the UK next year - we're doing most things ourselves, so does anyone have any good promoters in other cities they'd recommend!?

What a thread of posts! Nice one!!

So finally getting to wrap our lugs around @theshipbuilders.bsky.social 2nd album after bagging one in Probe when we were in Liverpool. Here it is booming around the Piazza Sturzo, Sciacca, Sicily. “You say I’m daydreaming, that maybe true, but I just can’t dream unless I’m dreaming about you” 👇

Get your mucky hands on it right here folks, plus so much more wonderful Shipbuilding goodness… theshipbuilders.bandcamp.com/album/this-b... #UTFB 👏

“I have more than one man deserves, on this blue earth” Buy it. Grab the vinyl/CD/mp3, whatever. Support artists who self-release impeccable music like this. Spread peace & love not hate. And “never trust a man with a flagpole in his garden.” Or one who paints a curb or a roundabout either. ✊💚 👇

It is incredible in every way. From the horns, to the artwork, to the amount of bass players 😜, to how the songs released on Matty’s 2 solo albums have now been made fully formed. Plus there’s Flagpole and La Dolce Vita, first heard way back 5 years ago during the lockdown live ‘Bunker Sessions’. 👇

What a thread of posts! Nice one!!

'these' being themselves, it seems. Plus la change.. 🙈

Here we fugging go. Into these!
