So a little over a month ago I accepted an invitation to be a part of a blog tour that would list their favorite albums from this decade. I figured why not and take a break to re-listen to some of my favorites over the past ten years. There have already been a couple lists posted as part of this project. Yesterdays featured the top 10 albums from The Album Project and tomorrows list will be provided by Can You See the Sunset? . For anyone wishing to see any of the previous [...]

~ Rumskib - "Think Eyes Away" ~ When I reviewed their album ( here ) I described Rumskib as a harsher version of Cocteau Twins, which very much goes for this song. Sharp shoegaze with pretty female vocals that has a bit of an 80s feel to it. I decided to rec it while listening to it when out for a walk the other day, but my enjoyment was rudely interrupted by a bunch of hollering 14-year old boys. So if you're a 14-year old boy, you're not allowed to download this. ~ [...]

Meisterwerk oder Plagiat oder beides? Was die Sängerin Tine Louise von Rumskib allein mit ihrer Stimme an wohligen Schauern erzeugt, ist schon gigantisch. Download: Rumskib / Sneak Ja, es muss schon einiges passieren, bevor ich mich ernsthaft mit musikalischen Randerscheinungen wie "nu Gaze" beschäftige. Allein die Nennung des Begriffs ruft in mir schon ernsthafte Beklemmungen hervor. Was ich da so hörte, klang allzu oft eine Spur zu dramatisch, zu pompös oder einfach zu kitschig. Oder – was es schon eher trifft – zu sehr wie ein Aufguss von [...]

Non ricordo nemmeno come mi sia arrivato questo disco, se qualcuno me l'abbia consigliato o si tratti semplicemente di uno dei download casuali in cui di tanto in tanto mi avventuro. Fatto sta che il debutto omonimo dei Rumskib , uscito in primavera per Darla Records , suona sempre più familiare tra le mura della mia cameretta. Niente di nuovo, ma proprio niente, soltanto una delle tante band nu-gaze che riportano alla memoria spicchi nostalgici dei primi anni '90. Un continuo copia-incolla da " Loveless " dei [...]

[MP3]: Rumskib "Hearts On Fire" Above pic by niepce

I had wanted to hear the self-titled debut from Rumskib for a few weeks now or at least since I somehow stumbled across their page on MySpace. The songs contained on their page at the time were pretty stunning, not so much because it was obviously inspired from early days of the shoegaze movement, but more so because it was a sound that just isn't worked into many of today's "nu-gaze" artists. More often than not we always fall back on the guitar textures and tone off of MBV's Loveless and while [...]

Rumraket et dansk pladeselskab, Rumpistol er dansk "electronica", og nu Rumskib som er et af de få rigtige danske shoegaze bands. Jer som har fulgt bloggen her siden den spæde begyndelse vil nok kunne huske "Shoegaze-ugen" som var noget af det første vi postede. Det gjorde vi fordi både Indiepige og jeg virkelig godt kan lide genren, men også fordi musikken bare er pisse fed. I den uge satte vi fokus på en hel del bands fra slut 802erne og start 902erne, og hvis man tager tre af de største bands fra den tid, nemlig: "My Bloody [...]
