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
Listing Ship is based in Los Angeles. They have a NEW VIDEO that is directed by their friend James Fletcher. Earlier in 2008 they toured Italy. They have shared the stage with bands like Low, Pedro the Lion, Lou Barlow, Imaad Wasif, DOS (Mike Watt, Kira Roessler) Carla Bozulich (Geraldine Fibbers), and many other fine musicians.
Founding members Lyman Chaffee and Heather Lockie have played in bands together since they were teenagers. Playing with them are: Julie Carpenter on violin, Shawn Lockie on vocals, Kyle C. Kyle on drums, Laura Steenberge on contrabass, Michael Whitmore on vibraphone, 10-string and tenor guitar, banjo, mandolin.

"....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
Hi Hi Hi...

We're also giving away our latest ep, "We Never Liked You Anyway", all 3 songs for FREE (our favorite four letter word!) this month. You can get those off our MySpace page. Hope al is well!
Peace...

Frogwomen’s last album is just water under the bridge and only the disrespectful de large could encourage him to create a new one… it is a one-song record which symbolically lasts 66. 6 minutes. Satan worshipping and overused topic in pop music is just the straw that allowed the struggle between the two artists to begin: a patchwork of microsongs in which each one of them tries to annihilate the other’s style, a record that ranges between love ditties, doom-noise cants, and irreverent & wild tarantellas (ehm.... maybe i’m overstating now). .
