North Ship: ”Plastic House”

North Ship is presented to you by musical duo Francis Nrgaard Jensen and Thomas Golzen. Originally from London, England, North Ship was founded in Copenhagen and uses traditional instruments like the guitar and drums in order to bring their well-rounded sound to you and audiences alike.

North Ship expertly combines live musicianship with programmed beats, bass, and synths, in order to create a sound that is both traditional and modern at the same time. Their sound is a melting pot of a variation of musical influences: immediately obvious are the sounds of Muddy Waters, ASAP Ferg, Black Star and David Bowie. However, pay closer attention and delve a little deeper, and you’ll hear the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, Julie London, Bryan Ferry, and others such as Nick Cave and The Villagers lingering in the undertones.

The sound of North Ship has steadily changed from ambient songs with a cello and double bass guitar but no drummer to songs with a guitar and drums. Thoughts on songwriting are the same between them: make it sound easy, keep it traditional, and continue to try new things.

North Ship’s latest release, “Plastic House”, is their follow-up single to Green Light, which has already received over 130,000 online streams. An electronic fusion with live guitar, drums, and vocals, the song’s main theme pertains to one defining their own identity. There’s a high probability that you’ll enjoy this accomplished song if you appreciate alternative rock with a 90s vibe, such as The Arctic Monkeys, or David Bowie and his Blackstar-era influences.
