“Ship Life” is a musical self-portrait, framed as a narrative of my time as a working musician aboard cruise ships. Spanning styles and influences to relate themes of displacement, love, loss and travel, it draws most deeply from my love for the singer-songwriters, super-producers and musician’s musicians of the 70’s. It was an ambitious undertaking for me, choosing to take on all arrangement duties. In 2024 I have released a new remaster, with newly recorded lead vocals. Full credits are on my Bandcamp.

I take great joy in collecting CDs and immersing myself in the liner notes, and so designing my album was as personal as finishing the songs themselves. If you’d like to enjoy a physical copy, please email me: elimooremusic@gmail.com
