Having just returned from two tours promoting their last single ‘On The Air’, the second of which was a national run as main support for Josh Pyke on his national ‘Only Sparrows’ tour, Sydney’s The Rescue Ships are back with a brand new single; ‘City Life’.

Formed around the core of Brian Campeau and Elana Stone, 2 nationally recognized singer / songwriters in their own right, The Rescue Ships will be touring the east coast throughout July / August to launch the single.

‘City Life’ is lifted from the band’s debut album which, with a multitude of musical friends orbiting around them, they are currently in the midst of recording in Impure Cabana, Brian’s inner Sydney city Newtown studio.

The track itself is, in Elana’s words: “a song about living in the city and looking for love, or even just a connection. It’s strange that we can be lonely even while we are surrounded by so many people. And the scariest part is, even when we find these people to love, we are still ultimately alone. Depressing much? Much.”

Between them, Brian and Elana have worked with many prominent Australian artists including Angus & Julia Stone, Josh Pyke, Bluejuice, Washington, The Cat Empire, Katie Noonan, and Urthboy. And internationals – including Joanna Newsom, Passenger and Khaki King.

In 2010 they were the musical directors of the Australian drama series ‘Underbelly: Razor’. Right now though, it is to ‘City Life’ and the impending tour therefore, that all ears are bent.
