██ ██
██ Darla is proud to release the debut record by Danish nu-gaze ██
██ group Rumskib. Rumskib is the Odense, Denmark duo of Keith ██
██ Canisius (Guitarist, Vocalist, Composer, Producer) and Tine ██
██ Louise Kortermand (Singer). Keith produced the debut record with ██
██ Jonas Munk (Manual), who programmed the beats, made the ██
██ electronic sounds, and played synthesizer. Rumskib's debut ██
██ record begins with a Simple Minds New Gold Dream style intro. A ██
██ rough & repetitive MBV Loveless style guitar line kicks in. Next ██
██ an aggressive baggy beat begins to pump making Rumskib sound ██
██ nearly like Curve. Then a very lovely surprise: A very pretty, ██
██ Lush style guitar change comes and simultaneously the wall of ██
██ sound vocal harmonies begin -- like Emma, Miki... and Bjork! ██
██ There's no denying Rumskib are derivative, however, Rumskib has ██
██ such command of all the genre's key sound elements and their own ██
██ pop songs are so damn good the band gloriously claim the new ██
██ shoegaze sound as their own. Rumskib's sound is at once modern ██
██ and classic, blending a strong love for early 90s shoegazer ██
██ bands such as Chapterhouse and Lush with the sensibilities of ██
██ grand Scandinavian 80s pop such as A-Ha and Roxette, all ██
██ flavored with harsh noise-rock guitars and crunchy ██
██ micro-programmed beats. Sometimes their sound is up-tempo, ██
██ almost danceable like The Cardigans meet St. Etienne. At other ██
██ times their sound is thick, heavy, and romantic recalling The ██
██ Cocteau Twins or Simple Minds. Rumskib manage to be both ██
██ surrealist and accessible; complex but straight forward. ██
██ Vocalist Tine Louise creates harmonies so beautiful one would ██
██ think they came from some mysterious wonderland (or ██
██ Victorialand?) and Keith Canisius' lyrical call & response ██
██ guitar playing is intelligent and evocative. Combine all this ██
██ with well crafted compositions and Jonas Munk's trademark ██
██ head-spinning, multi-layered sound sculptures, and you've got a ██
██ work of undeniable beauty. Track list: 01. Hearts On fire, 02. ██
██ Springtime, 03. Dreampoppers Tribute, 04. Where Are The Flowers, ██
██ 05. Ferris Wheel Blackout, 06. Think Eyes Away, 07. You're My ██
██ Japan, 08. Sneak, 09. Crucial Love Games, 10. Ovation Outsiders, ██
██ 11. Girl Afraid, 12. Love At First Sight. ""Re-evokes my dancing ██
██ feet with the fragrance of Liz Fraser insanity there on top.. ██
██ humm..There' s some serious celebration going on in Scandinavia ██
██ now." --SERENA MANEESH ""Springtime" kills, kills again, and ██
██ then kills some more. And then bathes in in the blood of its own ██
██ awesomeness." --JATUN ██
██ ██
██ **************************************************************** ██
██ ██
██ That it's so easy to deconstruct Rumskib's influences in the ██
██ form of tired metaphors may disturb some potential listeners. ██
██ Observe: Take five parts My Bloody Valentine, one part cheesy ██
██ æ80s pop, sprinkle a dash of Cocteau Twins, stir well. And so ██
██ the originality-Nazis write them off, but what the rest of us ██
██ want to know is if they write good tunes, right? Well, the ██
██ answer to that is an emphatic yes, but on this occasion it'd be ██
██ unfair to just leave it at that. On their debut album, these ██
██ Danes have offered us just a little more. ██
██ ██
██ Yes, Rumskib's influences are obvious, but the band apply them ██
██ in a manner that suggests an attitude of pragmatic utility ██
██ towardsùrather than a reverence forùthe past. There's plenty of ██
██ shoegaze to go around right now, but this isn't just another ██
██ novel spin on an old formula; here, the band deconstruct MBV and ██
██ re-appropriate the required elements, not simply combining them ██
██ with other influences, but re-working them into epic, meandering ██
██ songsùsongs that sound notably different from those of their ██
██ obvious influences. The end result is an album that, while ██
██ strongly reminiscent of the dreampop days of yore, presents a ██
██ markedly different emotional experience. ██
██ ██
██ While Loveless was a work of austere, admire-but-don't-touch ██
██ melancholy, Rumskib not only sounds positively joyous, but ██
██ invites the listener to share in its youthful enthusiasm. ██
██ Unashamedly unserious, the aforementioned pop influence is ██
██ evident in the synth work of multi-instrumentalist Keith Baerken ██
██ and the carefree, lovestruck cooing of vocalist Tine Kortermand. ██
██ The album's strongest moments, however, are delivered when the ██
██ band resist simply applying a novel aesthetic to the same old ██
██ pop music we've all heard before; rather, just as with their ██
██ shoegazer influences, the band deconstruct bubblegum pop, taking ██
██ both those sugary melodies and that carefree attitude to use in ██
██ songs that, while decidedly un-pop in structure, still retain an ██
██ air of adolescent exuberance. ██
██ ██
██ The clash of approachesùpop-inspired juvenile saccharinity vs. ██
██ shoegaze-inspired astral feedback explorationsùis applied to ██
██ great success. Songs begin as candy-coated sing-alongs for first ██
██ kisses on summer days (albeit sing-alongs sandwiched by dense ██
██ layers of swirly-feedbacked harmonies, sliding against each ██
██ other like tectonic plates beneath the surface of some hazy, ██
██ far-away planet), but, inevitably, some unpredictable ██
██ development takes hold of the listener, ice cream cone still in ██
██ hand, and lifts off the surface of the earth to engage in ██
██ gleeful interstellar drone-pop bliss-out. Conversely, the weaker ██
██ moments come when the band puts less effort into forging ██
██ something more complex from simple source material, falling back ██
██ on their relatively underwhelming capacity for more traditional ██
██ songwriting, and sounding more like a second-rate Cardigans ██
██ clone with Kevin Shields on guitar. ██
██ ██
██ The band may have been lumped in with the shoegazer revival, but ██
██ it would be misleading to paint them as mere retroist ██
██ MBV-worshippers; Rumskib expands the creative vocabulary of the ██
██ genre. The release lacks a certain emotional gravity that made ██
██ albums like Loveless and Souvlaki true classics, but, on the ██
██ other hand, those albums never sounded this damn fun. It's ██
██ recognizably a debut record, but Rumskib hits the mark ██
██ consistently enough, and one hopes that this band's maturing ██
██ process doesn't result in them losing their flair for ██
██ communicating the exhilarating adventurousness of teenage ██
██ romance. ██
