Preorder: new THE PIRATE SHIP QUINTET album + EP repress

Hey hey.

First of all thanks a lot for the great feedback concerning the DENOVALI SWINGFEST program. The lineup is now complete. The last act will be ONEIROGEN from New York City. He's from now on also a new member of the denovali records family – we'll release the first music together with him in august. He will just play this one exclusive Swingfest gig in Europe in 2012. You can listen to the first 2 pieces via www.denovali.com/oneirogen - more information also available at his facebook page www.facebook.com/pages/Oneirogen/456676464346234.

The complete SWINGFEST lineup looks like this:



You can preorder your ticket at www.denovali.com/swingfest.

Release news: We're on top very pleased to present you two fantastic new releases of an act which is on board for a long time but was pretty inactive in the past three years: We've just started the preorder for the PIRATE SHIP QUINTET debut album Rope for No-Hopers. Cd and Vinyl artworks are both coming with a nice gold foil print. Additionally we're offering their s/t debut again on vinyl and cd. This one quickly acquired a certain chic status among the niche circles of the UK and European post-rock scene. It's very limited print run sold out rapidly and until now has never been repressed. We've as always listed all details concerning the releases below.

THE PIRATE SHIP QUINTET – ROPE FOR NO-HOPERS CD | 2xLP | MP3



Five years after their début EP was released to critical acclaim, The Pirate Ship Quintet have recorded their first full length album entitled ‘Rope for No-Hopers', to be pressed courtesy of Denovali Records. The record is a compendium of pieces chosen and refined from an abundance written over the past few years, during which time the band disappeared from the live scene.

The five tracks on this record move through the richly melodic foundations of contemporary classical and minimalist rock. The swelling dark atmospherics give way to moments of brute force, punctuated by low level, desperate vocals. It is a little heavier and more technically diverse than the debut E.P and feels like a considered and organic evolution of the band's method. The band's fantastically talented cellist, who has played with the likes of The London Symphony Orchestra among others, recently accepted a full-time position with the National Orchestra of Wales which is based very close to the band's home town. With all members of the group living in the same part of the UK once more and with their own small studio in the heart of Bristol they will be writing, recording and performing consistently again. The name of the new album evokes both solemnity and catharsis, while the track titles are references to abstract ideas and in-jokes, products of the bands notoriously dark sense of humour. ‘Horse Manifesto' for example details the imagined uprising of an equine regime, bent on recompense for man's inhumane exploitation of their kind. The record was written, performed, recorded and mixed by the band. More than ten locations were used in the recording stages including a old chapel on the banks of the River Seven, a furniture-making workshop, the offices of The Big Issue magazine and the band's current studio space. It has been mastered by Cult Of Luna drummer Magnus Lindberg in Umeå Sweden with mountains of beautiful analogue equipment. The Pirate Ship Quintet, in its current arrangement, consists of Ziapour (bass guitar), Jona (drums), Alex (guitar), Alphie (guitar), Sandy (cello), Moo (trumpet) and Terrence (vocals). The artwork for the record was created by Lucy Joy and Jona Sturgess.

THE PIRATE SHIP QUINTET – S/T Cd | 12'' | MP3



The Pirate Ship Quintet's self-titled debut E.P was first released in 2007 and quickly acquired a certain chic status among the niche circles of the U.K and European post-rock scene. It's very limited print run (only 200 LPs and 500 Cds) sold out rapidly and until now has never been repressed. The record was recorded and mixed by the band and mastered by CULT OF LUNA drummer, Magnus Lindberg following the two bands sharing a stage and becoming allies. The E.P has placed extremely highly among countless ‘best of' lists and has received honourable mentions from some of the most respected critics on the post-rock scene. Its exceedingly favourable reception, despite the absence of any promotion at all, is testament to the record's substance. Soon after The Pirate Ship Quintet played its first U.K tour, the band disappeared from the live scene, only making music for personal pleasure, seldom appearing on stage and formally releasing none of the material they wrote. At the start of 2012 the band's phenomenally talented cellist, who has played with the likes of The London Symphony Orchestra among others, accepted a full-time position with the National Orchestra of Wales which is based very close to the band's home town. With all members of the group living in the same part of the UK once more and with their own small studio in the heart of Bristol they made the decision to return to functioning as a working band again. Their first full length album entitled "Rope for No-Hopers" is released through Denovali Records in spring 2012.
