ABOUT THIS BAND

Born in 2017 as the solo project of London based multi-instrumentalist Alexander Sokolow, Tugboat Captain have morphed over three albums and a handful of EP's into an ambitious baroque-pop four piece. Growing from 2017's moody lo-fi debut 'The Tugboat Captain' through jangly, folk-inflected sophomore record 'Everybody Seem's To Think That I'm A Raincloud', into the murky waters of a 2020 lockdown the band released their debut studio album, 'Rut'. On Rut the band emerge from the sonic limitations of homespun bedroom-pop accompanied by a ramshackle orchestra of friends with a grand, symphonic pop record which loses none of the intimacy of the previous work that garnered significant critical acclaim across the UK DIY community.
