The band weave together the voices of the Titanic's survivors in a special musical commission for BBC Music's Biggest Weekend in Belfast. Performed at the Titanic Slipways, May 2018.
So good! Its been a long time since I have heard a band that can transmit emotion like this through their music. Love you guys and enjoyed seeing you live here in New York. Please come back again soon.
Terrific work of art and music. You have become part of the Titanic's legend with this remarkable tribute. And BTW you just keep getting better and better!
Having seen PSB live in NYC a couple years ago (they were playing "The Race for Space") ... they're a total blast in concert and their motion graphics tie into the music so perfectly.
Royal Albert Hall gig on Nov 1st - think we'll see an EP around then. Check out the Tom Robinson interview and history of the band on 6Music, fabulous.
Mike Bellwood... Yes, it's quite brilliantly thought out and performed. Even down to the drum beat ending abruptly on the "C.Q..." missing the final D as that was the final message received from the ship before she was lost completely... incredibly poignant stuff.
It's sombre because the crowd are standing in the exact place where the Titanic was built, and the emotions conveyed by the songs don't exactly evoke loud raucous cheering considering what happened to the ill-fated liner.
It was part of a specifically created suite of songs for the Titanic (understandably somber about the aftermath of the crash), it was not their set's last song.
