Bishopskin return with their latest single “Doggerland“, drawing listeners into a haunting, mythic realm forged from collapsing memories, orbiting the submerged territory that once lay between Britain and continental Europe.
The South London ensemble, known for their timeless blend of English folk, avant-garde hymnody, and primal punk intensity has cemented them as one of the most visually and spiritually compelling acts on the current scene.
In “Doggerland”, Bishopskin frontman Tiger Nicholson conjures a vivid sonic painting:
“I have this painting idea in my head that has been a great source of inspiration for song after song after song. It feels like I’m an old oil man and I’ve tapped into some great underground lake of oil that seems to endlessly give.
It’s an image is of a great big ancient orange sun setting over a vast flat landscape made up of lush grass lands puckered with reflective pools and swaying reeds, a few windswept trees submerged in rising rivers and a feeling of melancholy as large family unit wading through rising saltwater away from their ancestral home leave muddy footprints, a child’s leather boot and stones scratched with a language indecipherable and now lies under 120 feet of sea.
The drowning of Doggerland.”
We are delighted to be hosting Bishopskin for a very special headline show at the legendary 100 Club with our friends Bad Vibrations and Club The Mammoth. Support comes from 8 person industrial folk collective MPTL Microplastics and bog-folk fellowship Sodden Pelt.
