With Саундтрек до порядку денного (Soundtrack to the Daily Agenda), Ship Her Son transforms the exhaustion of everyday life into a visceral, post-industrial ritual. Released digitally on October 10, 2025, and arriving later on vinyl, the album is a haunting document of how monotony can feel like war.
This is Anton Shiferson’s most physical work to date — a clash of industrial rock, post-punk, and noise, driven by dense textures and relentless rhythm. Recorded over three years in Lviv, the record channels tension through collaboration: each song features a different Ukrainian voice, from underground icon Stepan Burban (Palindrom) to scene veterans like Slepakov and Kuts. Their performances — strained, intimate, defiant — lend the project a communal urgency, as though the country’s creative energy itself were erupting through static.
Conceptually, the album follows the mental unraveling of an ordinary man. It begins with exhaustion, peaks in panic, and ends in quiet disintegration. Yet despite its claustrophobic focus, Soundtrack to the Daily Agenda feels oddly liberating — a recognition that everyone, in their own way, is holding on by a thread.
The sound design is brutal but cinematic: distorted beats collapse into ambience, guitars grind against mechanical percussion, and fragments of melody drift like smoke. The result evokes early Swans, Laibach, and the bleakest corners of Nine Inch Nails, yet filtered through a distinctly Ukrainian sense of melancholy and humor.
Ship Her Son has built a career on dissecting modern alienation, and here he finds its purest expression. Soundtrack to the Daily Agenda doesn’t offer relief — but it offers truth, and that’s rarer than peace.
