World Party Shares "Ship Of Fools" + Announce New Album

Iconic band World Party has made a video for their 1986 hit single “Ship Of Fools,” premiered by Billboard today. The video features Karl Wallinger’s poignant lyrics alongside current political figures including President Trump and Korea’s Kim Jong-un. Wallinger says, “I can’t believe that things today are worse than they were when I wrote this.  In a way it’s ridiculous that this song is still relevant.” Watch “Ship Of Fools” here.
 
The new clip was directed by celebrated director Nigel Dick (Guns N' Roses, Oasis, Brittney Spears).  He notes: "I was always a big fan of Ship Of Fools and bought the record when it was originally released.  Hearing it again reminded me that the lyrics are now more relevant than ever before. Rock the Vote!"
 
The video anticipates that PRIVATE REVOLUTION, the first World Party album, will be reissued on vinyl for the first time in 2019. The entire World Party catalog will follow, with vinyl reissues throughout the year. In addition, the band is planning a new release for next year; details to be announced shortly.
 
World Party formed in 1986. Their albums include PRIVATE REVOLUTION, GOODBYE JUMBO, BANG!, EGYPTOLOGY and DUMBING UP in 2000.
