about

Shifting Ships

It begins in the mud. Suffocating silt sucking the air out of your head through your ears. Foliage quivers and the ships shift, grinding their hulls against the dock as they heave at their moorings. Giant rusted bellies moan and reverberate as if bowed by the great rubber buffers at their side. It's only possible to get this close in foreign ports where the vessels are colossal and the rules relaxed. Between hull and dock is a death trap, you end up in there boy, you end up dead. Drawn down into the crude slicked blue where even the fish look lost, the mass of steel will crush you to pulp if you're not drowned first. For these are some serious forces at play, the tide is time and the ship, no matter what the size, is folly. For the harbour is safety, is home and in that slither of pressurized poisoned brine you may see your destiny.

Öber Traptt's Shifting Ships In Foreign Ports will be physically released on tape cassette with accompanying B-side later in the year on the legendary Cruel Nature Records.

Shifting Ships In Foreign Ports has been reviewed by Dan Ledley for issue #1 of Boulderdash, Released 20th March 2024. Boulderdash is the brain child of sonic maverick and all round legend, Jessica Beechey, the first issue will be released in line with Spring equinox and is packed with a selection of projects, writings, reviews and lots lots more. An indie zine for enthusiasts of stones, drones and noise, whats not to like here...

You'll be able to pick up physical pro-printed copies of the zine right here at Rat Run Records.
