<img src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/yeah-cond_MED.jpg" align="right" height="150" width="150" />Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the first single taken from the eagerly awaited sophomore album by Australian indie math-rock marvels <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/mukaizake/">Mukaizake</a>.

The opening rush of adrenaline from their forthcoming album <em>Unknown Knowns</em>, ‘<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=43&amp;products_id=124">The Yeah Conditioner</a>’ is Mukaizake’s triumphant return to the Australian music scene. The track sees the band at their compelling best, combining urgent rhythms, dynamic guitar interplay and Geoff Symons’ strong melodic vocals, twisting and flexing into glowing new shapes. While ‘catchy’ and ‘addictive’ are over-used terms in the world of indie-rock, ‘The Yeah Conditioner’ reveals thrilling new facets with each spin.

Mukaizake comprises Dan Erickson (Bluetile Lounge), Simon Struthers (Umpire, Adam Said Galore), Geoff Symons (Umpire, ex-Adam Said Galore, O!), and Michael Lake (Umpire, ex-Adam Said Galore). They released their critically acclaimed debut album Mapping The Static in 2003 and have supported artists such as Mercury Rev, Death Cab For Cutie, Will Oldham, Dave Pajo (Papa M, Slint), Something For Kate, The Sleepy Jackson and Big Heavy Stuff, to name a few.

‘The Yeah Conditioner’ is available for <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=43&amp;products_id=124">free download</a> from the <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/">Hidden Shoal Store</a> up until the Australian CD release of <em>Unknown Knowns</em> on December 11th, 2009. The album will see its US CD and worldwide digital release on November 17th.
