PRESS Prefixmag Track Review: Hour of the Shipwreck “The Chandelier Suite” This new track from L.A.’s Hour of the Shipwreck has an undeniable filmic quality, its soothing post-rock passages crashing heroically into jagged guitars, waves of discordant synths and - eat your heart out, James Horner. - a full freakin’ choir, deployed perfectly. But “cinematic” just doesn’t do “The Chandelier Suite” justice, because movie music rarely rocks this hard. If you wish Danny Elfman had larger balls, Hour of the Shipwreck is for you. No news on just when the full-length is coming out, but if you’re in L.A. you can catch the band at one of their monumental concerts. Finely textured as this song is, they pull it off beautifully live (sans choir, unfortunately). YTSE Their music is indescribable, yet this is one of the best 4AD albums not on the 4AD label. The melodies on The Hour is Upon Us are massive, perplexed by a consistent haunting mood that is possessed by Hour of the Shipwreck, a band that puts a Baroque/Victorian attitude to the forefront of their musical monstrosity… Hour of the Shipwreck pertain to their own formula of not only dark progressive rock, but also doom laden college/indie rock as well, in fact, the worlds of both collide here… musically organic, offering up a breath of fresh air in the world of sophisticated art-rock, not jumping on any bandwagon, for Hour of the Shipwreck are their own entity, being truly inventive with their own approach. Subba-cultcha Stirring soundscapes and soaring vocals form the best movie soundtrack never used onscreen… soaring vocals and layers of music forming a dreamy soundscape with enough depth and body to be almost tangible… vocals are obviously indebted to Jeff Buckley’s falsetto… EPIC really is the only way to describe this album! The Tape Is Not Sticky They play a mix of dreamy pirate rock and Danny Elfman inspired music… one of the greatest rock performances I have ever seen… If they don’t get famous off this album their is something wrong with the world. Mish Mash Hour Of The Shipwreck is dark and misty… with a touch of Radiohead-meets-Pink Floyd… a full vocal choir moves the disc beyond a mere rock record into something special… the album is haunting and beautiful Prefixmag There was once a time when you could walk down a cobblestone street, horses clomping as they drew carriages of noblemen from one baron's mansion to the next, and pass by the members of Hour of the Shipwreck without batting an eyelash. But times have changed, and in a Los Angeles music scene obsessed with rehashing the sounds and fashion of the seventies, a quintet of musicians festooned in the garb of the nineteenth-century upper crust and swarthy pirates is bound to stick out. But this two-year-old ensemble has never played by the rules: with its long-form art songs winding their way through decaying forests of gothic folk, jazz harmonies and sublimely textured post-rock, Hour of the Shipwreck sounds like nobody else. Rocknworld Taking the restless nature of the Gabriel-era Genesis and spiking it liberally with a dose of acid-drenched early Pink Floyd results in Hour of the Shipwreck. This atmospheric soundscape set of songs sounds like what Tom Waits would produce (music only --- not the vocals) if he went on a Bjork bender for several weeks. Prefixmag Barbez are perfectly twinned with L.A.’s own Hour of the Shipwreck, whose lengthy, avant-pirate chanties veer between unconventional post rock and beautifully textured art music.

Sounds Like:Pirates of the Caribbean after the first drop when it is still dark, there is a ship cracked in half and the captain, a grinning pirate skeleton blowing in the wind, is steering the wreckage through dark rushing clouds, and the smell, the smell that can't be found anywhere other than the happiest place on Earth. The music from a wonderful nightmare. Somewhere between the Midieval, Baroque, and the Victorian but post Bjork and Radiohead. Record Label: Shipwreck Music & Co. Type of Label: Indie |
