Listen to Brian Eno's 21-Minute-Long New Song "The Ship"

Brian Eno recently announced The Ship, his first solo album since 2012's Lux. (It's out April 29 on Warp.) Today, he's shared its title track, a 21-minute epic.

Eno explains in a press release:

The piece started as an Ambient work intended for a multi channel sound installation in Stockholm, but during the making of it I discovered that I could now sing a low C - which happens to be the root note of the piece. Getting older does have a few fringe benefits after all. From that point the work turned into an unusual kind of song...a type I've never made before where the vocal floats free, untethered to a rhythmic grid of any kind.
