PIRATE SHIP QUINTET, THE - The Pirate Ship Quintet (2007)

2008-06-15 14:57:31 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)

The Pirate Ship Quintet has easily become one of my favorite Post Rock due to this incredible EP. To put it simple I couldnt find a single flaw within these 3 magnificent post rock epics. Not to say the least TPSQ really manages to create great atmosphere, with intensive and yet sometimes head banging rhythms created by the guitars, bass and drums accompanied by melodies created by the keyboard, cello and a trumpet.

Each song has its own distinct sound starting in a crescendo manner except for I Kina Spiser the Hund which quickly kicks it off with intensity. Theres not much to say about each song since there usually youre typical post rock songs but with a much distinct sound, something most post rock bands fail to do these days, all sounding to similar. All 3 songs stand above the 8 to 11 minutes. I really couldnt tell which one I liked the most since I liked them all so much. To say the least I liked I Kina Spiser the Hund, especially the heavy emotional intro, in fact it just blew me away. And to close it off we have Pirate Ship which builds up all in the end. And the melody by the trumpet sounds amazing.

In overall this EP could easily be a Post Rock masterpiece standing right beside the music of Post Rock giants such as GY!BE, Sigur Rós , Explosions In The Sky, Yndi Halda and others. The Pirate Ship Quintet is indeed an amazing band with a bright future.

Highly recommended!
