The Pirate Ship Quintet

The Profile

Seven restless musicians from Bristol (UK). Their debut album Rope For No Hopers is a half-hour of melancholic, atmospheric post-rock where classical instruments (cello, violin, piano) alternate with aggressive elements and growling vocalizations. The review singles out the cello and a violinist named Sandy.
