High Remembrance CD

Formed in late 90s Seattle and currently based in Tulsa, Unwed Sailor craft a unique form of bass-led, instrumental pop with post-rock dynamics. For their eleventh album, High Remembrance, core members Johnathon Ford (bass, keys, guitar), Matt Putman (drums), and David Swatzell (guitar) embrace the bittersweet comforts of memory with shades of alt-rock grit, late 70s AM radio swagger, and rapturous New Wave abandon, among other touchstones that defy easy categorization. On these songs, Ford finds some of his strongest inspiration by reflecting on where the project began, while perpetually pushing it forward with new ideas, arrangements, and genre infusions. "It's become about holding onto the things you love the most," he notes, "including yourself."
