Eye Wander: Vinyl LP
WOE029LPPre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: World of Echo
Release Date: 17th July
Ferries are a band who refuse to let us know who they are, all we have is their song and even then it leaves us with no clues. So here's Ferries first long player it's kosmiche-dub, it's haunted pop, it gives that feel of the great experimental groove demigods of Can and Silver Apples.
Writing a bio for a secret band is a bit like cleaning a house that nobody is living in. It looks good on your resumé but do we really need it? Only ghosts do.
Talking about ghosts: there is AI for this kind of stuff, but unfortunately, even AI is too serious and will write a 'proper' bio because AI knows stuff. Name names. Name places. Name influences. Name tour dates. Name quotes by Oscar Wilde and/or Noel Gallagher. And none of that is relevant to Ferries.
After the 2025 release of Ferries' quickly-vanishing first LP, Eye Flutter, not much changed for the band. They continued to exist by not existing. Et voila, a new record, Eye Wander, is now here. Although the medium is the same as the previous one (black gold), they've taken a next step in a smoky journey into a dubby and kraut-y world of creating songs and musical moments. Is 'avant garde pop' a genre? Or even 'dub kraut'? I know 'indie' certainly is, and I don't really agree with that either, and even a broken clock is right twice a day so what's the point anyway.
And so - Ferries made a new record called Eye Wander and it is out on World of Echo on 17th July. That's all you need to know for now. - Leon van Barneveld, Bergpolder.
