Listing Ship is an interesting oddity of a band. To call them a folk band would be slighty inaccurate. But, there is a heavy folk influence. Though I am loathe to make comparisons on indie albums that are wholely original...imagine if Calvin Johnson belted sea chanties with 2 beautiful mermaids sharing the singing duties. The musicianship is more than impressive. The real strings and acoustic bass are ideal for the feel they are going for. After a couple of listens, my favorite tunes include "Death Rolls In", "Voice of the Future", and the title track "A Hull Full of Oil & Bones." I would imagine we will all be hearing a lot more from this band in the future.
