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

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!

In a world which labels kindness as meekness Never let it be said that compassion is a weakness Do I run away to the sea of tranquility, or try to stay afloat in this swamp of futility? There are certain truths to be learned fast and hard.. open.spotify.com/track/5wjtWG...

Oh I love this

Stanley says swerve the flags; we don't need this fascist groove thang. He does, however, recommend you buy our This Blue Earth tarot-style cards, as only 16 sets remain theshipbuilders.bandcamp.com/merch/this-b... 🌍

Tonight's venue

Evertonians, Toffees, Top Blues. Matty and Danny will be playing outside the ground tomorrow from 17:45. Our brief has been uplifting songs (rules most of our own out) and vaguely Everton-related songs, so basically, any song with 'Blues' in the title has been considered..

THESE BLUE SONGS - No. 8 - POLYNESIA "So far away..." A bit of a respite; this was chosen for the album, and placed where it is to give a bit of relief.. an album completely made up of songs about nationalism and apocalypse might get a bit much, so we needed a bit of sunshine..

THESE BLUE SONGS - No. 7 - HILLS OF MEXICO "Immortality! Immortality!" Another literary one, and another exercise in making a pretentious idea not sound like one - this is an imagined soundtrack for the Ernest Hemmingway classic book 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'. open.spotify.com/track/4N7nM2...

THESE BLUE SONGS - No. 6 - FLAGPOLE "..never trust a man with a flagpole in his garden.." Right, this'll be a longer thread than the others.. open.spotify.com/track/5wjtWG...

THESE BLUE SONGS - No. 5 - METEMPSYCHOSIS "..in everyone whose fight still rages on.." An exercise in setting 'The Grapes of Wrath' to Burt Bacharach, with a title referencing James Joyce's 'Ulysses' and it not being a pretentious load of tosh.. open.spotify.com/track/0cgkM4...

Loved making this remix!

A TOUR OF THIS BLUE EARTH - No. 4 - THE RIVER "..it's gonna get you all.." A brooding menace of a song, this has been floating round in the shadow lands of our world since day one, but it's only now that The River sees the light of day.. open.spotify.com/track/3HLA5d...

Fell in love with this song after ‘The Bunker Sessions’ and then the original version was released on Matty’s debut solo album, Goldfinch. Signed, handwritten lyrics, for another great cause, from almost 5 years ago 💙

A TOUR OF THIS BLUE EARTH - No. 3 - LA DOLCE VITA "I have more than one man deserves, on this blue Earth.." The rarest of things - a happy Shipbuilders song! open.spotify.com/track/2D8xzX...

Gil Scott-Heron was the voice of "you know when you've been Tango'd"

A TOUR OF THIS BLUE EARTH - No. 2 - DAYDREAMING "Whispering green grass, why tease me so?" The first single from This Blue Earth, 'Daydreaming' is an old song that we demoed for our first album, but could never quite get it sounding how we wanted it to.. enter Pistol Pete Higham..

A TOUR OF THIS BLUE EARTH - No. 1 - 95 MILES "Oh I know I've told you tales as tall as mountains before.." A romping gallop of a song, setting chiming guitars and swirling organ against rollicking drums, this a song of tall tales and fanciful excuses.. open.spotify.com/track/0Y0Cqu...

A huge thank you to everyone who got involved in our Merch For Gaza push last month. All bits are now posted out, and we managed to raise £330 for Medical Aid for Palestine - 🇵🇸✊ thank you, one and all

Afternoon all; we're postponing our Newcastle gig. We'd planned it so our NE fans could come, but too many clashes with other events spread tickets too thin - so we'll be back in early 2026, when more people can come! Tickets will be refunded and we'll have better news soon

'Never trust a man with a flagpole in his garden' Sound advice from Waterloo's finest, @theshipbuilders.bsky.social
