Product Description
The Pirate Ship Quintet have recently been causing quite a stir in the UK and further afield post-rock community. Incorporating trumpet and cello into an inventive post-rock line-up, TPSQ have stumbled across a gorgeous sound that they alone hold. The band come from Bournemouth and Bristol, a member of the band splitting their time between TPSQ and The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (!), and are planning to tour extensively after the mcd is unleashed. Whilst there are others in the genre that seem to shape a similar atmosphere in their music the eight members that comprise The Pirate Ship Quintet are masters of it, creating entrancing, rapturous epics that sweep one away on waves of emotion. Worryingly for their contemporaries this is only their first release, so they can only get better!

Headphone Commute Review
At only three tracks, The Pirate Ship Quintet's first self titled EP, progresses the future of post-rock with an incredible dynamic acceleration. Super charged with emotion, one can not help but anticipate the explosive breakdowns as they crescendo with a cello, piano, and brass. The British eight-piece "quintet" [don't ask - see their myspace explanation] is quietly straying away from limelight, but I can already predict their effect on the scene as they pick up where others have left off to carry on the baton of the genre. It is no coincidence that TPSQ shows up on my rotations within a week from Yndi Halda. Both bands seem to be at the top of my instrumental and orchestral (if you will) post-rock album lists. But the quintet is a bit darker, at times almost post-metal, with abruptly collapsing walls of sound and the following void that's filled by a sobbing cello in the corner or a lost trumpet in the woods. Recommended if you like From The Sky, Mt., Blueneck, 65daysofstatic and of course Yndi Halda. All three tracks get 5+ stars from me.
