Product Description
CD Description
Synthetic complexity is aligned with the acoustic nuances of cello and guitar to support an ecliptic, dark and disarming feminine vocal charm. Jump Ship's unique sound juxtaposes the melody and rich acoustic of Folk, with angular and complex electronic and theoretical precision that is brought back down to earth by a bubble gum vocal.
About the Artist
Conflicting the classic and the contemporary, the Bath based sextet's perfectly balanced yet authoritative glimmer of the future resonates the passive, aggressive and progressive. If a bunch of music geeks finally agree on something, it's often well worth the wait. The result: Jump Ship. 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 that extends beyond the crumbling walls and lofty rafters, which cultivated their first recordings. The sonic breadth of Jump Ship'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.

Format:Audio CD
There's clearly much talent here, but it sounds as if Jump Ship are a bit too influenced by (the excellent) Kosheen & the Cranberries; Jump Ship needs to find its own 'voice'. Also, the CD's sound-quality is very poor for a Naim release - it's very loud & sounds 'squashed'.
