About Artist

SHIP OF SOULS is a music project that has elements of indie rock, dream-pop, psychedelia, and jazz. This, combined with moments of cinematic sound and mixed with a retro vibe create a dreamlike state of nostalgia.

This project was born out of necessity in the year 2022 when Shem Sotelo needed a creative outlet for new material. Playing in bands for 2 decades as a primary song writer, his current band at the time, Northernlight had dissolved during COVID. Going a more “producer style” allowed for songs not possible in the previous 4 piece guitar bands. The music would now feature keys, strings and occasional horns to round out the sound. All music was recorded and mixed at Fulcrum Studio.

Special thanks to all the amazing musicians that contributed to this project and infused life into the work.
