Big Light Announces New Album ‘Ships’ Livestream Premiere

Bay Area rockers Big Light will premiere their new album, Ships, via a livestream listening party. The seven-track LP can be heard through the band’s Facebook and YouTube pages at 9 p.m. PT tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21.
The livestream listening party comes ahead of Ships‘ release on all major digital platforms this Wednesday, April 22 just in time for Earth Day. Work on Ships was started by frontman Fred Torphy and longtime collaborator Jeremy Black as a solo album at the Panoramic House in Stinson Beach, California. Torphy took a break from the sessions to reunite with his Big Light band mates at an Airbnb rental in the Santa Cruz mountains. Once it became clear Big Light was ready to return for more than the occasional one-off concert, Torphy asked his band mates to join him at the Panoramic House and turned his solo effort into a true Big Light album.
Torphy, Steve Adams, Jeremy Korpas and Bradly Bifulco spent the next few months making Ships. Adams contributed vocal harmonies, Korpas layered guitar and synth and Bifulco provided percussion and re-recorded drums to the long-awaited follow-up to 2014’s The Well Wishers.
“For a band known for its no-nonsense, garage rock sound, Ships sees Big Light growing comfortable being a band in 2020,” notes press materials for the LP in much-welcome news to Big Light fans.
Head to Big Light’s Facebook or YouTube pages at 9 p.m. PT on Tuesday to hear Ships.
