Public Service Broadcasting to release Titanic EP
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 20 September 2018
Public Service Broadcasting have announced that they will release a new EP, ‘White Star Liner’, on 26 Oct. It will feature the Titantic-themed music that the band debuted in Belfast for the BBC’s Biggest Ever Weekend earlier this year.
As well as documenting the ship’s ultimate end, the EP also tells the story of its construction in Northern Ireland’s capital. “I thought it was an interesting challenge to tell the story of the ship’s construction as part of Belfast’s proud industrial history”, says the band’s J Willgoose.
That means, he adds, “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”.
The title track of the EP is available to listen to now:
