About The Book of Ships



DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW ON NOMACHINETHINKING THROUGH VITAMIN

Produced and engineered by d.a.calf at The Institute, Newcastle, Australia.
Mixed by Scott Horscroft (The Panics, The Presets, Dappled Cities) at BJB, Sydney, Australia.

What the dudes & dudettes are saying:

A wild explosion of melody, snare drums and guitars.
Eno-inspired controlled chaos.
Here come The Book of Ships!
- Vijay Khurana – TRIPLE J

As beguiling and ambitious as its title suggests,
emerging like an awakened giant left to survey the progression,
destruction and decay of the century passed…
ten polished tracks which promise more than most double albums do.

Indie Album Of The Week ****
- THE BRAG

None of these tracks feels like anything you’ve heard before.
There’s quirks and nuances wrapped in lush instrumentation
and it’s an album that continues to unravel with repeated listens.

Album of the Month ****1/2
- Nick Milligan – REVERB

Song after song of endlessly replayable, perfect pop. Perhaps the most
astounding aspect of Dark Continent, Cold Century, is the ease with which
it presents itself as being so tremendously accomplished. There is a wealth
of brilliantly executed music present on this simultaneously complex and
unassuming record - every note is pitched perfectly and every transition
is smooth and effortless.

8.5/10
- THE AU REVIEW

A righteous dark-rock-done-pop, Broken Glass In My Mouth
is the kinda song that Carlos from Interpol would give you herpes to.
It’s a spangled charger, that’s at once as poppy as Stars,
yet as gloomy as The Smiths...
Fucking beautiful.
- BEAT

This record doesn't walk in a straight line by any means.
Like a deliciously spacious apartment, not too big that you'll get lost but
just big enough to let you have a mid afternoon psyche out.
Musically there's the rushing guitars of The Flying Nun bands of the 80s,
a Broken Social Scene shambolic vibe and Grizzly Bear's grandiose arrangement,
all the while being something very Australian. Best shit I've heard in ages!
- Luke Rodely FBI RADIO/ONLY AN EARTHLING

Half of this record is speedy, percussive rock with low key vocals.
The other half just slows right down and does great big soundscapes.
Both styles have a background complexity of harmony, rhtyhm and
instrumentation that occasionally spills out into the foreground.
Never less than interesting and often really great.
- 4ZzZ (Brisbane)

A rushing, indie-rock track that brings to mind the dynamic buzz
of folks like Broken Social Scene, old school Decoder Ring,
and…I want to say Superchunk but it’s not quite right.
Sweeping-indie-firecracker-rock?
- THE VINE

Hectic and rather good.
- Ross Clelland – The DRUM MEDIA

[An] astonishing live presence…
One of the most impressive units on the local landscape.
- Nick Milligan – REVERB

While there’s no denying the dreamy grandeur of this record,
it doesn’t sound like any other band.
- MESS + NOISE
