Ship (necrologies)

The Ship (Necrologies) is DCW at their idiosyncratic best, with songs about Shackleton's journeys to the North Pole, suicide, the Ukrainian mafia and the president of Kazakhstan. The former Soviet Union is a world that lead singer Tom Mayne (recently featured on John Oliver's Last Week Tonight) knows well from his days as an anti-corruption campaigner. The album follows their 2018 LP The Octoberman Sequence. A key band in the late 2000s/early 2010s UK antifolk DIY scene, David Cronenberg's Wife ('DCW' for short) served as a catalyst for other like-minded bands in London to follow suit.
