Writing a bio for a secret band is a bit like cleaning a house that nobody is living in. It looks good on your resumé but do we really need it? Only ghosts do.

Talking about ghosts: there is AI for this kind of stuff, but unfortunately, even AI is too serious and will write a 'proper' bio because AI knows stuff. Name names. Name places. Name influences. Name tour dates. Name quotes by Oscar Wilde and/or Noel Gallagher. And none of that is relevant to Ferries.

After the 2025 release of Ferries' quickly-vanishing first LP, Eye Flutter, not much changed for the band. They continued to exist by not existing. Et voila, a new record, Eye Wander, is now here. Although the medium is the same as the previous one (black gold), they've taken a next step in a smoky journey into a dubby and kraut-y world of creating songs and musical moments. Is 'avant garde pop' a genre? Or even 'dub kraut'? I know 'indie' certainly is, and I don't really agree with that either, and even a broken clock is right twice a day so what's the point anyway.

And so - Ferries made a new record called Eye Wander and it is out on World of Echo on 17th July. That's all you need to know for now. - Leon van Barneveld, Bergpolder.
