“West Coast Prism” by Unwed Sailor

You know how the saying goes: Another year, another Unwed Sailor album. Which, of course, is far from a bad thing. Ever since resurrecting his instrumental post-rock project in 2019 with Heavy Age, bassist Johnathon Ford has been releasing music at a steady, workman-like pace.

Even so, it’s impossible to mistake an Unwed Sailor album for anyone else’s, thanks in large part to Ford’s own fluid bass lines. However, he always finds some new elements to keep things interesting. In the case of “West Coast Prism,” it’s those delightful melodic flourishes that shimmer forth on the bridge, infusing the song with a sense of light-filled, wide open spaces that’s immediately refreshing.

High Remembrance will be released by Ford’s own Current Taste label on May 8, 2026.
