Honored to have some parting words featured, for what could be Psalmships’ last release, at psalmships.com. Psalmships is songwriter Josh Britton, often solitary and sometimes accompanied by a cadre of low lonesome instrumentalists, moaners and crooners-including: Mike SloMo Brenner, guitarist and singers Brad Hinton, David Janes and Mike Batchelor, bassist Phil D’Agostino, drummer Daniel Harvie, Emily Shick Bolles, Kevin Killen and the haunting howls of Liz Fullerton and Chelsea Sue Allen.
Self credited ghost folk, Psalmships’ catalog is a sprawling song of longing and heartache. Picking up where The Sweetheart Parade left off in 2009, Britton fell deeper and deeper, through valleys and heather, tracking beast and bird through the frontier, and came through with an empty Cathedral Blues, the soundtrack of freezing in the summer and burning throughout the winter.
“Obvious+Unafraid” is Psalmships 8th self-released work and eleventh overall. These are the lights phantoming on the fringe, ever receeding and coldly burning, the limits that break our hearts open so that we may be vast and only.
Order “Obvious+Unafraid” here, and pay for it what you will.
