Rumskib
Rumskib

Rumskib--sounds like a drink pirates used to enjoy below decks, doesn't it? In fact, it's Danish for pretty, dreamy, shoegazer-y pop music. No, not really. I haven't the foggiest idea what the name means, but the music does indeed shiver me timbers. It's not unlike some of the pretty, dreamy, shoegazer-y pop music that used to pop-ulate (sorry) the old Hyperium label's catalog (Mellonta Tauta, Sleeping Dogs Wake, etc.). The vocalist, Tine Louise Kortermand, has a classic ethereal voice--a little bit of Cocteau Twins' Liz Fraser, a touch of Lush's Miki Berenyi, a dash of Björk--which makes a nice contrast with the distorted guitars.

It's good stuff. Wouldn't mind hearing more.
