Dark Captain - Submarines by loafrecordings

First Single taken of their forthcoming album 'Dead Legs & Alibis"

East London quintet Dark Captain (formerly known as the twice as time-consuming to say Dark Captain Light Captain) have been impressing many a thoroughly suspecting punter for a few years now, with their special blend of meandering, melancholy folky electronics, krautrockish rhythms, quiet anger, smooth vocal harmonies, big match temperament and unswerving punctuality.

We’re proud to present their new single ‘Submarines’. Taken from their forthcoming second album ‘Dead Legs & Alibis’, it’s a cyclical - yet sexily anthemic - meditation on a romantic liaison gone frustratingly awry, and sounds like Fleetwood Mac being chatted up by The Violent Femmes in a bar in which Robert Wyatt is dancing his heart out to minor key club classics.

Debut album ‘Miracle Kicker’ arrived in 2008, being voted 33rd best album of the year by The Guardian newspaper (although we think they deserved at least 28th), and birthing a minor hit stateside with the single ‘Jealous Enemies’. Since then, they’ve toured the UK, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic, been gently blasted out of radios, laptops and PCs all over the world, shared stages with Laetitia Sadier (of Stereolab fame), 65daysofstatic, Malcolm Middleton and Sophia, and indulged in a period
of collective facial hair experimentation best described as “unsuccessful”.
We like ‘Submarines’ very much, and we hope you do too.
