I am not totally sure this is a re-release or an American pressing of “This Is My Ship”, from the Uk band Dartz!, but according to my last.fm, these guys come from England and the first pressing had a different cover artwork. Yes I know, I’m quite lazy today.

“This Is My Ship” is a kind of cross between the danceable rhythms of Free Diamonds and the important indie rock of Settlefish, with a more dancy attitude and more melodic vocal lines.

Songs like “Network! Network! Network!” and “Once Twice, Again!” not only shows the love of Dartz! for excalamtion points, but also some serious skills for pop harmonies. Have you ever had the feeling of listening some music with your eyes closed and find yourself on a beach on a rainy day? That’s what I felt when the music of this album started to play. “Prego Triangolos” and “Laser Eyes” have got some killer guitar riffs that you’d die for, and the genre of the whole record is outstanding.
