Pre-Order New Crystal Shipsss Record
Jacob Faurholt of Berlin-based Crystal Shipsss has never been very good at hiding things. So when he decided to write
and record a collection of personal songs intended only to share with
his future self and not for official release, deep down Faurholt always
knew that this diary of songs would one day be left open for the world
to find.
The album, "Dirty Dancer," is a hauntingly intimate collection of minor falls and major lifts through one man's life of ups and downs - all documented through melodies reminiscent of Daniel Johnston, Xiu Xiu and Grandaddy. Recorded sporadically between 2011-2013, "Dirty Dancer" is an autobiographical album with stories centered around struggles with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, teenage insecurity, and in one case a panic attack. In "I Had a Friend," Faurholt sings about the true story of a burning ferry that took the lives of his best friend along with the boy's entire family, while in the song "I'm Not Insane," he shares details of a helpful therapy session.
"I wanted to make an album that lyrically would be embarrassingly direct and describe moments in my life that burned into my mind," admits Faurholt, a native of Denmark, who relocated to Berlin in 2010. Faurholt recorded the album with a mix of studio experiments and pre-written arrangements but without having a pre-meditated clue of how to glue everything together.
This new record will be released on September 24, but you can now pre-order the vinyl at the link below (includes immediate download of track "I Know").
