For the guys there are 3 dates on the current European Mini Tour left to play - it's really worth a visit:
05.06.2012 Metz (fr) - Astrophone
06.06.2012 Liege (bel) - Le Garage
07.06.2012 Berlin (ger) - Berghain Kantine (+ Her Name Is Calla)

For those who are interested in the colored vinyl versions: Both are almost sold out. We're down to 30 copies of the golden ROPE FOR NO-HOPERS one and down to 50 copies of the blue S/T repress. Thanks a lot for the great feedback.

We're very happy to present you a brand new denovali artist - it's TALVIHORROS from the UK. We'll first offer his two records ''Music In Four Movements'' and ''Some Ambulance'' for the first time on vinyl in August - in Autumn we'll also release a new album together with him. You can check out two first songs at www.denovali.com/talvihorros

Out next will be the CARLOS CIPA debut album - the preorder starts soon. Influenced by Debussy and Satie his piano pieces also should be interesting for all of you who like Michael Nyman or Nils Frahm. On the denovali page (www.denovali.com/carloscipa) you can find the first 3 pieces and 2 videos of his work. News concerning selected release concerts will be published via www.facebook.com/carloscipa) soon.

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.
