CITY OF SHIPS Signs With TRANSLATION LOSS RECORDS

April 18, 2009

Translation Loss Records has announce the signing of Richmond, Virginia' CITY OF SHIPS. The band's full-length debut, "Look What God Did to Us", will be co-released in late summer with indie label Sound Study Recordings from Gainesville, Florida. Translation Loss will take charge of the CD release while Sound Study will handle the vinyl and digital versions for the 10-song effort.

"Look What God Did to Us" was tracked and mixed over two sessions in February and March at Translator Audio (PELICAN, MADE OUT OF BABIES, UNSANE) in Brooklyn, New York with producer Andrew Schneider and will be mastered by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance East in Boston.

CITY OF SHIPS has been touring relentlessly since its inception in 2005, promoting self-released EPs as well as CD and vinyl releases from independent Richmond labels Forcefield and Perpetual Motion Machine.

The trio will embark on an extensive European tour this summer, first with labelmates ROSETTA and later joining The End Records' BRAVEYOUNG (formerly GIANT). In addition, the band is currently booking a run of East Coast U.S. dates with LIQUID LIMBS from late May through mid-June.

Drew Juergens of Translation Loss comments: "I could not be more excited about working with CITY OF SHIPS. Ever since I heard their tour EP and saw them live, I knew they were destined to create greatness. The new record is absolutely amazing and will take the world by surprise with its intrinsic groove and the jaw-dropping musicianship it presents."
