The Boats
& Danny Norbury

The Boats are an atmospheric, dynamic and a beautifully improvised instrumental experience, creating sonic sketches of looped guitars, bass and drums... conjuring up moments of Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, The Necks, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Ennio Morricone, Set Fire to Flames, Dirty Three...while at the same time remaining truly unique in their delivery. Often being described as surf-rock, post-rock and even 'the new jazz'.
Danny Norbury is a cellist who lives and works in Manchester. He has written and recorded two EPs: ‘Dusk’ (Static Caravan), and ‘Jean Cocteau’ (Ono), using the instruments he has around him at home. He has collaborated with The Boats, Library Tapes, Rafael Anton Irisarri, and Nancy Elizabeth.
