Life on a Knife Edge

There couldn’t be a more fitting reintroduction to the world of Brighton’s Tall Ships than ‘Road Not Taken’, the slow-burning opener to Impressions, their second full-length album - released early 2017 via FatCat Records. Rooted in the idea of facing a fork in the road, the four-piece’s frontman Ric Phethean describes the track - which draws its title from Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken - as tackling “the consequences of our choices and actions, and the regrets that come with them;”striving to “make the most of the moment, as it’s the only thing you’ve got any control over.”
