After two decades of critically acclaimed and fan-adored releases, Unwed Sailor has become a fixture within the indie rock/pop landscape, led by Johnathon Ford (formerly of Pedro The Lion and Roadside Monument).
In many ways, the band’s forthcoming release 'Mute The Charm' represents an exercise in addition by subtraction – creating a layered emotive experience through more organic means. At its core, it is a pop rock record with chiming guitars, melodic bass, and rock-solid drums – more aligned with the accessible sides of artist influences ranging from The Sundays, Joy Division, and The Stone Roses to Lungfish and Seam than the band's previous and more ambient releases.
'Mute the Charm' is all-at-once a love letter to specific cities and scenes, a longing retrospective on relationships with people and the past, a nod to formative artists and trailblazers, and a hopeful look ahead towards a less tumultuous future. The new live show features visuals by renowned UK artist Gary Prendergast.
