The Boats are an atmospheric, dynamic and stunning instrumental experience. The trio formed in early 2003 and quickly developed their own unique sound; combining vintage guitars, drums, piano and bass to create sonic sketches and soundscapes - often conjuring up moments of The Necks, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Ennio Morricone, Set Fire to Flames and Dirty Three, while at the same time remaining truly authentic in their delivery. Often being described as ‘post-rock’ and ‘new jazz’; the boats became one of the early pioneer, influential post-rock bands to emerge from the instrumental rock scene in Melbourne, Australia, and especially noted for their intense and improvised concerts. The band released two independent EP’s during 2004 and 2007, and delivered their beautiful debut album, ‘Los Musicos Perdidos’ in 2007. Recorded by Nick Conolly onto quarter inch analog tape, the album instantly garnered indie appeal, and went on to become somewhat of a cult favourite among fans. Gabriel
