Set sail on a musical adventure with The S.S. Krill, the imaginative 2021 concept album from independent musician Billy Cobb. Combining traditional sea shanties, folk punk, theatrical storytelling, and heartfelt songwriting, this 12-track pirate opera delivers a captivating blend of humor, romance, and high-seas drama.

Known for his Weezer-inspired Zerwee projects, Cobb explores a different musical direction with the story of Johnny and Joel, two pirates whose relationship is tested by their conflicting dreams. One longs for life on land, while the other feels an irresistible connection to the sea.

The adventure begins with "The S.S. Krill" and "Set Sail," followed by emotionally revealing songs including "Johnny's Lament," "Johnny & Joel," and "The Wedding." Later highlights such as "The Enticement of Land," "Run Away Whisky River," and "Heave Ho, the Briny Awaits" bring the story's central conflict to life before the poignant finale, "Farewell Dearest Joel."

Released through Needlejuice Records, this cassette edition features a distinctive pirate-map design printed on the shell, Dolby noise reduction, and a three-panel J-card.

A memorable addition for fans of Billy Cobb, nautical folk music, imaginative concept albums, and unconventional musical storytelling.
