Rumskib was a duo from Odense, Denmark consisting of Keith Canisius and Tine Louise Kortermand. When Rumskib's self-titled debut was first released back in 2007, it came out amidst a shoegaze and dream-pop revival. My Bloody Valentine had just reformed and lots of new bands – in rock as well as electronica – were rediscovering the first wave of British shoegaze bands and were exploring loud, hazy, transcendent sounds. Rumskib, however, were doing it their own way. At heart they were a pop band. And their sound - as experimental and far reaching as it is - has neatly arranged songwriting at its core. Add to that the fact that Rumskib were absorbing new wave bands from the 1980s as much as noisy bands from the British shoegaze scene and they weren't afraid reaching for grand hooks.There's a radiant, uplifting quality to Rumskib's sonic excursions. For the album's production the duo teamed up with producer Jonas Munk (a.k.a solo ambient artist Manual, Billow Observatory and Ulrich Schnauss collaborator), who added synths and neatly programmed beats and electronics to all the tracks, and is responsible for the shimmering, expansive mix.Following the album Rumskib did play several shows, mostly in their native Scandinavia but also made it to London's legendary Club AC30 with Ulrich Schnauss and Manual. They never recorded a follow-up but the album managed to stay alive nonetheless, slowly gaining status as a ”nu-gaze” classic. It currently has over 1,500,000 streams on Spotify.<b>Rumskib i</b>s an album of well concealed pop gems that recall some of the genres heavyweight performers, such as My Bloody Valentine and the Cocteau Twins.&nbsp;<b>-No Ripcord</b>
