London-based Alt-folk alchemist Seamus Fogarty is delighted to announce the release of his new album Ships on Scottish label Lost Map Records, in partnership with Swedish label Sing A Song Fighter.
Packed with poignant and funny slice-of-life vignettes touching on everything from Geoffrey Chaucer to DIY coffins, and existing in a wonderful new sonic realm where songs and stories coexist peacefully with fragmentary electronics, drones and field recordings, Ships is his most expansive and uplifting collection of music to date. The first single from the album I Passed Your House has already made waves since its release, getting picked up by BBC 6 Music presenters Huw Stephens and Gideon Coe, and Radio 2’s Marc Radcliffe. It also spent 2 weeks on RTE Radio 1’s Recommends list in Ireland.
