Hospital Ships - Oh, Ramona

Hospital Ships is a musical project by Jordan Geiger, songwriter of indie rock outfit Minus Story, and trumpet player for folk rock group Shearwater.

On October 21, Geiger is proud to officiate the release of his bedroom-pop solo album entitled Oh, Ramona which will be distributed through Graveface Records.

Influenced by the sounds of The Flaming Lips song from which the name Hospital Ships is drawn, Geiger's debut exudes a seasoning of classic influences including John Lennon, The Zombies, and ELO to produce a bedroom pop symphony.

Exploring relationships both failed and ongoing with friends, lovers, and pets, Geiger delicately teases the listener with his boyish tenor of a voice. In the background, muted horns swell, pianos twinkle, and percussion marches in step.


Mixed mostly by John Congleton (Explosions In The Sky, Modest Mouse,The Mountain Goats, The Polyphonic Spree), Oh, Ramona is the culmination of over two and half years of writing and recording. Highlights include the upbeat opener Bitter Radio Single, the symphonic majesty of I Want It To Get Out, the tender Girls, and the truly pet sounds-influenced Oh, Ramona.

This record comes packaged in an 18pt chipboard gatefold sleeve and is lovingly hand assembled.
