The Climbers album “The Good Ship” now available for preorder
Thursday, May 13th, 2010Good news – you can now preorder the fantastic debut from The Climbers from the Willkommen shop here. They’ll ship as soon as we have them and this is the lowest price you’ll find.
The Climbers are the Department of Eagles to The Leisure Society’s Grizzly Bear – five years in gestation, the studio project began before songwriter Tim West got Nick Hemming and Christian Hardy together to form the band that became The Leisure Society. West plays a role like Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew or the early Brian Eno, writing beautiful songs then giving them to a vast cast of friends who have free reign to make their mark on them. Even lead vocals are shared by a handful of gifted collaborators, and often shared by the whole band.
Also copies will be available at the album launch show, June 2nd at Tamesis Dock, London. Facebook event here and tickets available here – this is selling fast now so buy in advance to avoid disappointment. The album is preceded by a single on May 24th, also called The Good Ship, available on iTunes for preorder shortly.
