Public Service Broadcasting have released the accompanying video to their latest single White Star Liner.
It’s part of a brand new EP of the same name which is out digitally and on CD on October 26th, followed by a vinyl version on December 7th containing tracks which Public Service Broadcasting fittingly first performed during the BBC’s Biggest Weekend event earlier this year on the Belfast slipways where Titanic was built. Reflecting on the track, J. Willgoose, Esq. says:
“I thought it was an interesting challenge to tell the story of the ship’s construction as part of Belfast’s proud industrial history, the spirit of optimism of the pre-war age that she represented, and then an abstract and, I hope, respectful depiction of both the sinking of the ship (represented by the repeated Morse code distress call, C – Q – D) and the discovery of the wreck in 1985.”
