Hospital Ships

Hospital Ships is the brainchild of Jordan Geiger, a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter known for his raw, emotionally charged indie rock. Emerging from the fertile DIY scene of Lawrence, Kansas, in the late 2000s, Geiger’s project blends lo-fi charm with lush, melancholic melodies. Before Hospital Ships, he cut his teeth in bands like Shearwater and Minus Story, bringing that collaborative energy to his solo work. Releases like *Destruction in Yr Soul* (2013) and *Lonely Twin* (2011) showcase his knack for pairing introspective lyrics about love, loss, and existential restlessness with fuzzy guitars and off-kilter pop hooks. Tracks like "Oh, Ramona" and "The Past Is Not a Flood" feel like diary entries set to music—intimate yet anthemic. While Hospital Ships’ output has been sporadic over the years, Geiger’s earnest songwriting and bedroom-studio ethos have cemented the project as a cult favorite for fans of heartfelt, scrappy indie rock.
