Black Ship

Hard to categorise and near-impossible to describe on paper, but very easy to enjoy: that just about sums up what is a very fine debut from the charmingly-monikered Henrietta Game. The Dublin-based four-piece purvey an effervescent stew of folk, jazz and classically-tinted alt. indie that makes superb use of unconventional instrumentation and truly dazzling vocals. In short, Black Ship is a string-driven thing of rare beauty.
