Boats

"Great Skulls"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Dec 4, 2012

When Winnipeg eclectics Boats announced their album A Fairway Full of Miners, they promised energetic tracks in addition to more dynamic and ambitious forays. Now you can get a taste of the new collection in the form of "Great Skulls."

This track is a giddy pop number that begins with quirky synths and guitar licks before swelling to horn-laden crescendos and lengthy guitar jams. Stream or download the premiere of this track below.

As previously reported, the album was recorded earlier this year with Ryan McVeigh at Prairie Recording Studios and UMFM, and mixed by JC/DC's Dave Carswell. It's due out on February 5 through Kill Rock Stars.
