"The Shipbuilders have one of the best followings of any of the new guard of Liverpool bands. They’re sound is complex and difficult to pigeonhole beyond that organic Mersey sound that underpins most of what they do, however, California surf and even Romani stylings are on show in tracks like Darkening Vale, Stranger’s Lament and La Fée Verte.

Frontman Matty Loughlin’s vocals dazzle throughout, sitting somewhere between Lee Mavers and Tim Booth, no less on new single Feeling In My Pocket which is a perfect two-minute slice of blues with more than a hint of uplifting positivity about it."
