| Sounds Like | About "Time to Dream":
“It might seem appropriate to find Listing Ship's Time to Dream sandwiched right between Belle & Sebastian and Sufjan Stevens on some cutesy woodland creature's iPod. The album's layers of instrumentation are so lush with banjoes, violas, and mandolins they could blanket the driest fauna....With innumerable references to nature – raindrops, sunshine, forests, and banana leaves among them -- it's hard to imagine that there's actually little that is benign about the Los Angeles-based collective's third release..."
-Julia Simon, www.SPIN.com
"With its quavering vocals, gossamer strings and neo-hippie oeuvre, the L.A. seven-piece Listing Ship fashions the kind of edgy but folksy bluegrass you'd hear at a Mensa picnic..."
-Kevin Bronson, Los Angeles Times
"....I’m reminded of the stark black and white images of the bayou in “Down By Law:” the anxiety inducing stillness of the water, a boat cutting through the green surface cautiously, mist and mazes. I’m also reminded of galleys and fires and war in muddy trenches."
-Jordan, www.saidthegramophone.com |
