Release Notes:
State Broadcasters are proud to announce the release of their
debut album 'The Ship and The Iceberg'. The 11 song album,
released on legendary student run Glasgow record label
Electric Honey.
The Glasgow six-piece released their debut single 'Let's Make
T-Shirts' in April 2008 and follow up 'Our Favourite Park in
January 2009 to widespread acclaim. They have been endorsed by
respected DJs like Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq and Jim Gellatly.
Mixing a unique lyricism with eclectic instrumentation
including: clarsach, piano, banjo, cello, double bass and
trombone, the sound perfectly encapsulates the broad
influences of each band member.
From UK legends The Smiths to US contemporary Sufjan Stevens,
ancient traditional folk to modern composers like Yann
Tiersen. The 11 song collection captures the essence of these
myriad influences to create an original sound that endures
long after the record has stopped spinning.
'The Ship and the Iceberg' has been hotly anticipated and the
band hope that the album will introduce to them to a wider
audience as well as satisfying the fan base they have built
through regular live shows.
Electric Honey is one of Glasgow╞s foremost small record
labels, famously releasing Belle and Sebastian╞s debut LP and
also putting out early singles by Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro
and, most recently, the Stuart Maconie endorsed Wake The
President. State Broadcasters are proud and honoured to follow
in the footsteps of such great Scottish bands and will be
continuing to develop with Electric Honey throughout 2009.
For now, µThe Ship and the Iceberg╞ is a fine introduction to
the latest in a long line of exciting, original talents from
Glasgow.
