The symbolism of boats

Symbolically a boat is a means of ‘ecstatic transport’. As Water is the symbol for spirit, one ‘sails in ecstasy’

MUSIC
Evening Lake by Gilmore Trail

We are Gilmore Trail, an instrumental post-rock band based in Sheffield in the UK.

We have Danny and Dave on guitars, Joe on bass and Bob on drums.
We supplement our core band sound with synth, soundscapes and field recordings, taking our cues from aspects of progressive rock.
Our music is purely instrumental, inspired by the vastness and majesty of the natural world.

We feel that the music takes us and the listener on various journeys, from rolling green hills to icy wastes, from the most arid deserts shooting up into the astonishing emptiness and stillness of deep space.
