“Gain, Distortion, Sustain is the enveloping debut album from Good Ships, a band based in Leeds, UK.
Their inspirations ranging from ’60s pop to the scores of Ennio Morricone and ’80s rock, the act’s eclectic range results in a sound steeped in enjoyable mystique, while still emphasizing a sense of hooky immediacy in the satiating structural builds and dark/light contrasts, between murky guitars and twinkling amiability…moody guitars build patiently into erupting distortion and vocal passion; the eclectic tonal range is consistently compelling…Gain, Distortion, Sustain is an immersive success of a debut from Good Ships.”
