About Unwed Sailor

Unwed Sailor
The instrumental post rock ambience of Unwed Sailor has been guided by the vision of Johnathon Ford (Pedro the Lion/Roadside Monument)
Since starting the band in Seattle in 1998, Ford has combined elements of post rock, new age, new wave, ambient, shoegaze & film music to create the unique sound and vision of Unwed Sailor.
A late-night drive to nowhere, built on journeying melodies and throttling atmosphere. Unwed Sailor’s shoegazing, new wave escapism is very deeply felt right now” - NPR
Unwed Sailor’s beloved album “Mute the Charm” is post-rock with an unwavering pulse, tightly wound connective tissue, and self-proclaimed shades of everything from The Stone Roses to Seam. - Bandcamp (Album of the Day)
For more than two decades, Ford has led the post-rock band Unwed Sailor. In that time, Ford has steered the band through a searching string of albums, incorporating the influence of ambient music, shoegaze, new age, math rock, and drone into its body of work, which constitutes one of the greatest under-recognized discographies in all of indie rock. - Aquarium Drunkard
Unwed Sailor rule the instrumental rock landscape. - Pop Matters

My second time seeing US. They were tight and seemed to have fine tuned their show. The PA was good and clear. Acoustics at the venue were fine. The set was solid with most of their rockers. They had 2 drummers and (their original percussionist) it filled out the sound nicely. Probably about an hour show. There were 2 bands previous to US but I didn't go to see them. I liked the venue. Staff were pleasant and place was well maintained. Small kitchen, copious outside area and karaoke. L train stops nearby.

There’s nothing quite like Unwed Sailor and they sound just perfect live.
