Rating: They are seven restless guys, hailing from Brisol (UK).
Their debut album, self-titled, leaves us speechless in its half-hour length. They compose long tracks, playing a melancholic, atmospheric post-rock where classical instruments alternate with growling vocalizations, frenetic rhythm changes to which one cannot remain impassive.
The album opens with "You're Next". Eleven instrumental minutes in which the guitar keeps us sweet company, where the piano creates a frenzied, repeated rhythm accompanied by a somber cello. Frequent rhythm changes break the track, allowing us a moment to catch our breath and then back up again, until the piece concludes. Comparison to the Dirty Three is inevitable.
"Horse Manifesto", on the other hand, is decidedly more aggressive. Here the narrative changes, with the electric guitar setting the path, supported by growling vocalizations. "Dennis Many Times" proceeds with the indispensable cello while "That Girl I Used To Live In" reaches a climax in the middle of the track and descends softly towards the end. Meanwhile, the track that concludes the album is "Doldrums" where the drums timidly come to the fore, but in the end, the only element that emerges, once again, is the cello.
Definitely not a boring or monotonous album. Where classical meets the more aggressive side of post-rock. Where rhythm changes are frequent as well as necessary. Where the violinist Sandy (already a member of The London Symphony Orchestra) takes the lead.
The seven pirates captivate us, they don't need grand artifices to do so, their skills are enough, and they are numerous. Let’s make a bet on these Pirat Ship Quintet, who have entered the instrumental rock scene, lately developing, they will surely leave their mark.
