Unwed Sailor, Pool Culture, Hoaxes, Bobcat Attack

The instrumental post-rock, dreampop ambience of Unwed Sailor has been guided by the vision of Johnathon Ford since 1998. Over the years, the band has included current members of Fleet Foxes and Manchester Orchestra, while Ford has recorded and toured with Pedro the Lion and Damien Jurado.

“A late-night drive to nowhere, built on journeying melodies and throttling atmosphere. Unwed Sailor’s shoegazing, new wave escapism is very deeply felt right now” NPR

Unwed Sailor’s beloved album “Mute the Charm” is post-rock with an unwavering pulse, tightly wound connective tissue, and self-proclaimed shades of everything from The Stone Roses to Seam. Bandcamp (Album of the Day)

(Unwed Sailor’s) “Truth or Consequences” is poignant and poised, intimate but ambitious in its pursuit of connection. Under the Radar

For more than two decades, Ford has led the post-rock band Unwed Sailor. In that time, Ford has steered the band through a searching string of albums, incorporating the influence of ambient music, shoegaze, new age, math rock, and drone into its body of work, which constitutes one of the greatest under-recognized discographies in all of indie rock.
