The Ship is the twenty-seventh solo studio album by English musician Brian Eno, released on 29 April 2016 on Warp Records. The album is Eno's first solo album to contain vocals since 2005's Another Day on Earth.
Brian Eno has said the title is a reference to the sinking of Titanic, which he has called "the apex of human technical power, set to be man's greatest triumph over nature". The album was originally conceived as a multi-channel sound installation, when Eno discovered that he could sing in a low C:
"As you get older, you know, your voice drops, so you sort of gain a semi-tone at the bottom and lose about six at the top every year. That's what's happened to me. So I've suddenly got this new, low voice I can sing with, and I just started singing with that piece. And, so it was the first time I thought, 'Oh, what about making a song that you could walk around inside?'"
- Brian Eno
