Rumskib

Rumskib是來(lái)自丹麥Odense的雙人Nu-Gaze樂(lè)隊(duì)，由Keith Canisius Baerken和Tine Louise Kortermand這一男一女組成.07年5月發(fā)行的同名大碟,絕對(duì)是向My Bloody Valentine的致敬.與MBV相似的Shoegaze音墻,配上Post Punk的低迥深邃,精致不乏迷幻之美.女主唱Tine空靈夢(mèng)幻的歌聲頗有Cocteau Twins的神韻,給Rumskib的噪音美學(xué)添上幾分浪漫.
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.
