Biography

Bristol, United Kingdom (2007 – present)

The Pirate Ship Quintet is an instrumental rock band based in Bristol, UK. The number of people involved in the band’s dynamic shifts from between five and eight members. The cellist is a full time principle member of one of Britain’s most commended symphony orchestras as well as having been part of the famous London Symphony Orchestra.

The Pirate Ship Quintet, in its current arrangement, consists of Ziapour (bass guitar), Jona (drums), Alex (guitar), Alphie (guitar), Sandy (cello), Moo (trumpet) and Terrence (vocals). The artwork for the record was created by Lucy Joy and Jona Sturgess.

The hugely praised debut, self-titled EP released in 2007, was performed, written, recorded and mixed by the band and mastered by Cult of Luna’s Magnus Lindberg.

Five years after their début EP was released to critical acclaim, The Pirate Ship Quintet recorded their first full length album entitled ‘Rope for No-Hopers’, which was pressed courtesy of Denovali Records. The record is a compendium of pieces chosen and refined from an abundance written over the past few years, during which time the band disappeared from the live scene.

The five tracks on this record move through the richly melodic foundations of contemporary classical and minimalist rock. The swelling dark atmospherics give way to moments of brute force, punctuated by low level, desperate vocals. It is a little heavier and more technically diverse than the debut E.P and feels like a considered and organic evolution of the band’s method.
