CD – $10 Shipped
Founded by former Sybris drummer Eric Mahle, with members of My Cold Dead Hand, Red Terror, and Muchacha. Sünken Ships takes Chicago post-punk, layers it with guitar laden hooks, and coats it off with a slick 90’s pop finish.
Recorded in parts by producing heavyweight Jim Tullio (Rick Danko, Mavis Staples) and indie juggernaut Mike Lust (Wilco, Urge Overkill).
The debut from Sünken Ships isn’t a 90’s throw-back album. It’s an album that was mostly written in the 90’s, but just got around to being recorded. You can hear the influences of the great indie rock of that time, but the band has a sound all its own with the benefit of time and experience, aged like a long-forgotten bottle of Malort collecting dust in the back of your liquor cabinet… Forget that unfortunate analogy – Just give it a listen.
