FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE LITTLE SHIPS RELEASE DEBUT SINGLE AND VIDEO
SEATTLE, WA (August 22, 2014) – Trans-oceanic band The Little Ships today releases their debut, a first single and video for the song entitled Shiver. The song is taken from their forthcoming, as yet untitled, debut album.
This dark video for a dark song was filmed by Shawn Paul Jennings in Seattle, WA, and at Gospel Oak Studio in Warwickshire, England by the British element of the band. Directed by bassist Mike McNamara, Shiver can be seen and heard on all the band’s online portholes.
The Little Ships features vocalist Ty Willman, a mainstay in the Seattle music scene, having fronted local legends Green Apple Quickstep, as well as contributing to Stone Gossard’s (Pearl Jam) solo debut album, and more recently with Nine50Nine. Guitarist Baz Bayliss is the manager and audio engineer of Gospel Oak Studio, has supported The Cranberries, and has recorded albums for New Killer Shoes and Merrymouth, among others. Drummer David Stewart has previously worked with KT Tunstall, Simple Minds, Deacon Blue, Paul Buchanan (The Blue Nile), Fish (Marillion), Camel, and Sandi Thom. Mike McNamara on bass binds these elements together, a seasoned tour manager and multi-instrumentalist who has performed and recorded art-rock from New York, through traditional English folk music.
What started as a weekly jam session in a rural studio in the English countryside in February 2014 soon became a serious musical project. Armed with a number of instrumental demos, the fledgling band reached out across the Atlantic for a unique voice, one they found in Ty Willman. As the project flourished, more songs quickly emerged, making their collaborative Atlantic crossings, and the group was officially named The Little Ships.
The Little Ships continue to record in studios on both sides of the Atlantic, and are looking to make their live debut in the UK this fall.
