    "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.

  • David Franks: Walkabout…

    After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on MySpace...

    Poem cum song 5 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my Blog for details):
    STATE TO STATE

    (TUNE:

    C F G F
    C F G F
    C F G F

    F G F C
    F G F C

    From Sydney Town,
        In uni. break,
    I drove out west
        To earnings make
    Onion picking,
        On the fields
    Of Echuca,
        That year’s yields.

    After day’s work,
        From Y.H.A.,
    A group of us
        Would not delay
    To walk on down
        To the dirt rim
    Of the Murray,
        For a cool swim.

    On one such day,
        I do declare,
    Some three of us
        Had a big dare
    To swim across,
        From state to state,
    The wide Murray -
        I took the bait.

    Yes, foolishly,
        I took the bait -
    A choice that I
        Would come to hate,
    For I almost
        Did drown that date,
    Making the swim
        From state to state.
