''Black ships is myself caught up in the drama of the end of time.Because it has all these different strands of lyrical concerns,i wanted to make it a very full and shifting record.'' he says.''It builds up to the title track,wich is this remorseless grind,there's no space left.The time for looking for salvation is over.All i have left now is myself.And i'm in a prison,the prison of being cut off from all possibilities.The grinding chords are the bars.It works really well live.It's very oppressive.''
