Since forming in 2008, Airship have notched up acclaimed support<br />
tours with Editors, Biffy Clyro, The Joy Formidable and Frightened<br />
Rabbit. Two self-released EPs have received rave reviews.<br />
Influential Manchester listings guide City Limits called them “Music’s<br />
best-kept secret” in 2009, and they’ve deserved that tag ever since.<br />
Until now, when their determination to succeed in the right way has<br />
paid off with debut album Stuck In This Ocean and their secret is<br />
about to be unleashed on the world at large. Still with an average<br />
age of just 22, the quartet’s sound has progressed from an already<br />
remarkable start, their songs becoming more direct and their sound<br />
ever more open and ambitious from constant touring.<br />
Some major labels have paid attention and been spurned. Instead,<br />
Airship have bided their time, waiting until they had enough songs<br />
they were completely happy with for their debut album, knowing<br />
exactly what they wanted it to sound like, recording it with their<br />
own agenda, and without label interference, before eventually<br />
signing to PIAS.<br />
“It can be frustrating, seeing rubbish bands signing massive deals,”<br />
Elliott admits "but, when I listen to our album, it feels like<br />
everything has been timed just right. If we’d done this two years<br />
ago, we wouldn’t have been fully ready.”<br />
Stuck In This Ocean was made with Doves/Cherry Ghost producer<br />
Dan Austin in a total of just 15 days at Rockfield in Monmouth and<br />
Moles in Bath - Editors guitarist Chris Urbanowicz and Doves’ Martin<br />
Rebelski added initial production on the sessions.<br />
“Dan was out of our budget, but he loved the songs so much he<br />
wanted to produce the album anyway,” says Elliott. “He suggested<br />
we record the album as live, the four of us playing in a room with<br />
the minimum of overdubs, and that was a brilliant idea.”<br />
