Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Wow... this is a kind of music I don't come across every day! It's spanning a couple of genres at the same time, such as folk rock, neo-classical chamber music, avantgarde, and - maybe most prominently - post-minimalism. Does it deserve the rarely-to-be-awarded attribute "masterpiece"? Well, I'd say - yes, for sure! Favorite track: We are leaves.

Ian Fairholm Beautiful, beautiful music. A bit like North Sea Radio Orchestra meets Kate Bush, but even that doesn't do it justice. THE album of 2011. Favorite track: The Slaughter of the Innocents.

Dan Sumption Strange folk songs that are both technically brilliant and achingly beautiful. Quite unlike anything I've heard before. Favorite track: Little Boat.

about

A collection of intimate songs of love and the sea bringing the energy of firefly burning's live performance onto record. Drawing on javanese gamelan, guitars, cello, violin, voice, gongs and piano, Lightships ranges from the folk-pop of 'Lady Laurie' evoking the muggy haze of a city summer night, to the epic seascape of the North Cornwall coast which colour ‘Little Boat’ and the minimalist fantasy ‘Arthur and the Great Element’.
