Desert Ships celebrate as they go on a summer tour with the release of a video for the epic track, ‘Skyliner’, available now on YouTube.\u00a0The London psychedelic rock three piece is hard at work recording their new album as they currently tour throughout Europe, playing dates up until the end of July with a spot at the Into The Wild Festival and their final show in London.<\/p>\n

Sat\u00a011th July\u00a0– Into The Wild Festival, Bucks<\/p>\n

Wed 22nd July\u00a0– 93 Feet East, London<\/p>\n

The video for Desert Ships heavy psychedelic rock track ‘Skyliner’ was directed by Julian Hand with special effects that enhance the psychedelic mood of the track keeping\u00a0true to the bands style of dreamy melodies and hypnotic grooves.\u00a0Portraying images of the band performing in sci-fi color with vague entrances of clouds, a close up image of an eye, and airliners flying across the screen, the videos intense images keep up with the strong collage of sound that Desert Ships create in their outstanding single, ‘Skyliner’. \u00a0The video is reminiscent of the days\u00a0when MTV actually aired music videos\u00a0in the early 90’s, with a grunge lo-fi type feel that really keeps their style of music in its perspective.<\/p>\n

The song ‘Skyliner’ is a wonderful example of the kind of free flowing cinematic sounds that the band create with their ambient guitar loops, spacey vocal harmonies, and heavy jam parts. The song is over seven minutes long starting off with a laid back rock groove that drifts in and out of daydream like melodies that fade into an expressive jam and noise making guitar that intensifies and closes out the last couple minutes of the track. \u00a0The bands music and style could be compared to the likes\u00a0of Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Flaming Lips, Tame Impala and at times, even the rousing film scores of John Barry.<\/div>\n
