North Ship

North Ship is Thomas Golzen and Francis Nørgaard Jensen.

Born in Copenhagen by way of London England, North Ship take old school drums and guitar and play them with new rules.

Programmed beats, bass and synths mixed up with live instrumentation to make a sound that’s classic and contemporary at the same time. There’s @Black Star @David Bowie side by side with @Muddy Waters and @ASAP Ferg. There’s @Nick Cave and @Villagers with @Jerry Lee Lewis, @Julie London, @Bryan Ferry and co. lurking in the background.

North Ship’s style has gradually evolved from quiet, atmospheric songs featuring a cello, double bass guitar with no drummer to a guitar/drums duo. Their attitude to songwriting is the same, though. Make it sound simple, keep it rootsy, try to experiment.

“WOW! Wonderful voice, amazing sounds and great chords progression. It left me speechless.”

“Haunting. Poetic lyricism. Great blend of organic and inorganic sonic textures. A tight track. Well crafted. Props are due!”

“Eclectic, curious, and deep. The song blends elements of indie rock, synthwave, and psychedelic rock. Appreciate the ambient overtones pervading the air. They make for an electrifying, droning sonic mood. We think you’ve got edge.”

“I really dig the vibe of this track. Great call on the stripped-down vocal production approach. Love your dynamic contrasts. Love your gritty voice. Fantastic energy throughout.”
