Ship Her Son Returns With a Heavier Sound and His First All-Ukrainian Record
Ship Her Son has released his second full-length album “Саундтрек до порядку денного (Soundtrack to the Daily Agenda),” which arrived digitally on October 10, 2025. A vinyl edition is set to follow in winter 2025–2026. The eight-track concept album explores the quiet panic of an ordinary day, marking a bold stylistic shift toward a heavier and more physical sound. This is the artist’s first record sung entirely in Ukrainian and the first to feature guest vocalists from across the country’s alternative scene.
A Soundtrack for the Modern Condition
Each track on Soundtrack to the Daily Agenda follows the emotional arc of a man under relentless pressure: waking after sleepless nights filled with dark thoughts; forcing irony and routine to survive the day; attempting calm only to lose it to intrusive visions of eternity; questioning what’s real during medical checkups; and ending the night exhausted, surrounded by unfinished chores and insomnia.
The album cover visualizes this sense of blurred reality — a solitary figure wearing headphones watches a fire burn in an empty field, leaving the listener uncertain whether it’s a dream or the world itself coming undone.
Ship Her Son Pushes His Sound into a Heavier, Physical Realm
A New, Tactile Direction
The album pushes Ship Her Son’s music into a heavier and more tactile territory. Post-industrial foundations clash with noise-rock abrasions, ambient textures, industrial-rock drive, and bursts of techno, punk, and post-punk. For the first time, Ship Her Son replaces his signature vocal samples with live guest performances, adding immediacy and intimacy to the sound.
Collaborations Across Ukraine
Recorded over nearly three years in Lviv, the instrumental foundation brings together a diverse ensemble of Ukrainian artists: Stepan Burban (Palindrom), Anton Slepakov (ВГНВЖ, warнякання), Eugene Tymchyk (Septa, The Nietzsche, АНТАЙТЛД), Oleksandr Kuts (Vøvk), and Divuar (Zwyntar, Old Cat’s Drama).
Their raw and expressive performances transform personal anxiety into a shared, cathartic outcry, turning intimate emotions into a powerful, collective experience for listeners.
A Glimpse Into Ship Her Son’s World
Founded in 2020 in Lviv by Anton Shiferson, Ship Her Son quickly became a distinct voice in Ukraine’s experimental underground. Mixing electro-industrial, techno, and metal influences, the project won the Jäger Music Awards (Young Blood) in its first year and later gained international notice with an official remix of Till Lindemann’s “Ich hasse Kinder.”
Following the debut album Essen (2021) and the Alles Wird Gut EP (2022), Ship Her Son returned in 2024 with the double single “У вічність / Вдих (Into Eternity / Inhale),” featuring Anton Slepakov. Known for immersive, audiovisual live shows, the project continues to redefine post-industrial music in Ukraine.
