***The third full-length from SHIP THIEVES (formerly known as CHRIS WOLLARD AND THE SHIP THEIVES). No Anchor follows up the band's 2013 How Much Shit Can You Take? / Aliens 7" as well as their 2012 LP, Canyons. No Anchor is the favorite Hot Water Music record that you’ve never heard before. Ship Thieves now being his primary songwriting outlet, Wollard was free to go all in on No Anchor with CHAD DARBY (SAMIAM, HAWKS AND DOVES, AVERKIOU), ADDISON BURNS (QUIT, THE ENABLERS) and BOBBY BROWN each contributing fantastic elements to the record. There was a heavy emphasis put on space and the songs benefit from a large, organic sound devoid of over processing and ultra compression. These songs breathe, they are alive, and they never let up from the moment the needle hits the groove. They are quite simply the very best songs Ship Thieves have ever written.
