The Ship (album)
The Ship is a studio album by English musician Brian Eno, released on 29 April 2016 on Warp Records.[12] It was announced on Eno's website on 24 February 2016. The album is Eno's first solo album to contain vocals since 2005's Another Day on Earth.[13] The Ship debuted at number 28 on the UK Albums Chart and became Eno's highest-charting album since My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1981).
Background
Brian Eno has said the title is a reference to the sinking of Titanic, which he has called "the apex of human technical power, set to be Man's greatest triumph over nature".[13] The album was originally conceived as a multi channel sound installation, when Eno discovered that he could sing in a low C: "As you get older, you know, your voice drops, so you sort of gain a semi-tone at the bottom and lose about six at the top every year. That's what's happened to me. So I've suddenly got this new, low voice I can sing with, and I just started singing with that piece. And, so it was the first time I thought, "Oh, what about making a song that you could walk around inside?".[14]
