About Jump Ship

"A unique mix of fine melodies, twisted grooves and textured arrangements" - Stereoplay

"Like having silk mashed into your ear with a lump hammer" - H20 magazine

When a bunch of music geeks finally agree on something, it's often well worth the wait. The result; JumpShip. Born in the bowels of an old abandoned woollen mill, where the group combined electronic wizardry with period instruments (including a cello formerly owned by T.S. Elliot) to forge a distinctive sound which has extended beyond the crumbling walls and lofty rafters which gave them their first recordings.

The sonic breadth of JumpShip's musings is a reflection not only of the diversity of the group's influences (citing everything from Lamb to Steve Reich) but also a genuine desire to push the envelope. The group's sensitive juxtaposition of modern synthetic complexity with traditional song sensibilities is characteristically their own, and is further heightened by the alluring presence of vocalist Louise Coady, who embodies the intensity that is central to the group’s sound.

JumpShip's inquisitively titled debut album ‘whatisthisandwhy’ (recently released on the Naim Edge Label) has had a rapturous welcome. Produced by 'Head', whose experience working with artists such as Massive Attack and PJ Harvey has helped mold the group's sound into a cohesive and formidable force, the album boldly enters unchartered territory - encompassing everything from folk to electronica.

The driving hook-laden single 'Bumble Bees' has received national airplay and regular plays on BBC6Music, whilst a recent nationwide tour has led to further appearances at London Calling and inclusion in AIM's 'Best of British' CD. The addition of live drums to the group’s line-up has also added another dimension to an already dynamic and compelling live show, which in the words of one recent reviewer, was likened to 'having silk mashed into your ear with a lump hammer'.

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse Online Now!	May 15 2009 8:31 PM (Hi: enjoyed my visit.) After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003

Aidan O’Brien	Dec 31 2008 3:43 PM Well thank you very much, very kind! We should try and sort out a gig together at some point when we actually get round to doing that... I'll be picking up a copy of the album first chance I get - Sweetness is an absolute tune. Let's hear it for 5/4! Keep up the good work. As for my sounds, I wish I could say there was some black art involved, but I basically just spend all my time trying to imitate Guy Sigworth...
