With its sighing, lilting qualities, Elisa Luu’s music reawakens a sense of childlike wonder and adventure with every sprawling and sparkling track. The album deftly moves in and out of the realms of ambient and electronica, creating a blissful, liminal realm where everything is rendered transformative.\n\nThe opening title track is a shifting kaleidoscope of drones, enveloping the listener with its gorgeous metallic haze. Single ‘The Garden’ creates a humid atmosphere of synths and glistening textures, carried aloft by crisp, skittering drum breaks. Melancholic centerpiece ‘Slow Bass Flute’ – which also appeared on debut EP Floating Sounds (Phantom Channel) – is so emotionally weighty that one can’t help but feel humbled in its presence. And album closer ‘Warn Plate’ is the gentle return to terra firma, leaving the listener conscious of having visited somewhere unique, complex and beautiful.\n\n<em>“gorgeous stuff, timid and trembling, frail and fragile - the ice sculptured craftsmanship eking out a beauti-fied solitary elegance much recalling the early career work of Mum… most alluring and lulling stuff”</em> <strong>– Losing Today on single ‘The Garden’</strong>\n\n<em>Chromatic Sigh</em> is now available in digital format from the <a href=\"http://agora.hiddenshoal.com\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> and all good third-party digital music stores (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, LaLa, etc). As with all new Hidden Shoal releases the album will also be available in lossless formats (FLAC and Apple Lossless). <em>Chromatic Sigh</em> will see its official CD release on the 29th of September and is available now for pre-order through <a href=\"http://n5mailorder.com/release/759/elisa-luu-chromatic-sigh-%5BPREORDER%5D\" target=\"_blank\">n5Mailorder</a>.

The track’s melodies swim in uppers and downers, all the while building and brooding. For the first time the track also features the stunning vocals of the band’s cellist, Miriam Braun, alongside Chris Mason’s distinctively dreamy tones.

It is quite obvious that the form is predominantly electronic, yet it has all the hallmarks of post-rock sensibility and sonic attunement. ‘Archive’ clothes itself in manipulated crowd samples before launching into a layered drum, synth and bass combination. ‘Always Enough’ weaves bright tones, dub sensibility and chopped up samples in highly wrought simplicity. ‘All In’ closes the album, playing with an almost anthemic extended chord, a hybrid drum beat and chirping bright synth which builds to dominate before dissolving quickly. It is a sharp finish, but the ride is quite exhilarating.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.cyclicdefrost.com/blog/2009/09/17/down-review-%E2%80%93-from-here-for-anyone-hidden-shoal-recordings/\">Cyclic Defrost</a>','Down Review &quot;From Here For Anyone&quot; - Cyclic Defrost','','publish','closed','open','','down-review-from-here-for-anyone-cyclic-defrost','','','2009-09-19 06:31:09','2009-09-19 06:31:09','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/down-review-from-here-for-anyone-cyclic-defrost/',0,'post','',0),(1567,1,'2009-09-19 06:40:48','2009-09-19 06:40:48','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/apricotrailalbum.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />Apricot Rail\'s self-titled album has received a warm review in Sydney\'s Drum Media magazine.

Delicate, bell-like arpeggiated guitar weaves around snaking clarinet and flute, while the beautifully held back yet sanguine rhythm section drives the whole thing into a blurred, sun-soaked horizon. Without losing a drop of empathy for the original’s delicate warmth, Perth-based producer Tin Man (aka Justin Manzano) has managed to deconstruct and morph the track it into a slowly brewing electronic anthem. The remix exudes a loping grandeur that is hard not to abandon yourself to. Rather than forcing its own rhythmic agenda, Tin Man’s ‘Spilt Milk’ remix both amplifies and distills the exquisite feel of the original.\n\n‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=122\">Pouring Milk Out The Window (Tin Man Spilt Milk Remix)</a>’ is available now for free download from the Hidden Shoal Store.

With its sighing, lilting qualities, Elisa Luu’s music reawakens a sense of childlike wonder and adventure with every sprawling and sparkling track. The album deftly moves in and out of the realms of ambient and electronica, creating a blissful, liminal realm where everything is rendered transformative.\n\nEven before its official release <em>Chromatic Sigh</em> has been catching the attention of critics and fans alike.\n\n<em>“gorgeous stuff, timid and trembling, frail and fragile - the ice sculptured craftsmanship eking out a beauti-fied solitary elegance much recalling the early career work of Mum… most alluring and lulling stuff”</em> <strong>– Losing Today on single ‘The Garden’</strong>\n\n<em>\"Chromatic Sigh is an absolute joy to explore, full of emotional resonance.

The song glides beautifully across a sea of dry ice, its aching melodies to the fore, taking heartrending turns before dissolving into the ether. An addictive and delicious taster of their forthcoming album <em>Machine Is My Animal</em>, ‘Stranger Than Fiction’ is a gorgeous reminder of why people became so excited by City Of Satellites’ debut EP <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=34&amp;products_id=87\"><em>The Spook</em></a>, released to critical acclaim in 2008.\n\n<em>“You know when you catch a faint smell of something that totally spins you out and reminds you of something you haven’t though about since you were six, completely changing your day? City Of Satellites have synthesised this feeling into music… traces of shoegaze heroes M83 and My Bloody Valentine, with faint, androgynous vocals drifting in and out of clarity over a dreamy soundscape… an emotionally exhausting and incredibly satisfying little trip”</em> <strong>– Drum Media EP of the Week</strong>\n\n‘Stranger Than Fiction’ is available for <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=34&amp;products_id=123\">free download</a> from the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> until the official CD release of City Of Satellites’ debut album <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> on November 24th, 2009.

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.\n\nMukaizake 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.\n\n‘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.

He has only been making music for three years, but has quickly received widespread acclaim for his work. His 2008 release, <em>Losthilde</em> (through <a href=\"http://highpointlowlife.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Highpointlowlife Records</a>),  a semi-autobiographical exploration of lost love, received glowing reviews and featured in <a href=\"http://www.textura.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Textura</a>’s top-of-the-year list. The music of Stray Ghost unflinchingly explores the depths of sadness, with fleeting glimpses of peaceful joy and solitude. One of England’s most innovative sonic artists, Stray Ghost creates highly emotive soundscapes, rich in cinematic sound design and employing elements of drone, minimalism, shoegaze, ambient and electro-acoustic music.\n\n<em>“Of all the daring new punks giving old ambient stalwarts a run for their money, Saggers is at the top of the heap, a prime example of the refreshing and beautiful ambient renaissance of the past few years… At the forefront of his scene, Saggers is an artist with extreme vision and a definitive brace on the current ambient sound.”</em> - <strong>Jack Britton, The Silent Ballet</strong>\n\nStray Ghost’s first release through Hidden Shoal is the sublime EP <em>Each Paradise is a Lost Paradise</em>, out on October 29th, 2009. Then on January 27th, 2010, Hidden Shoal will drop the epic <em>Losthilde II</em>, the reply to Stray Ghost’s 2008 masterpiece.\n\nRead a full press release <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Stray_Ghost_Signing.pdf\">here</a>.','Stray Ghost Signs to Hidden Shoal','','publish','closed','open','','stray-ghost-signs-to-hidden-shoal','','','2009-10-09 13:09:31','2009-10-09 13:09:31','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/stray-ghost-signs-to-hidden-shoal/',0,'post','',0),(1613,1,'2009-10-13 00:42:43','2009-10-13 00:42:43','Sydney-siders and online streamers take note -  the wonderful <a href=\"http://2ser.com/\" target=\"_blank\">2SER</a> is in the midst of it’s annual <a href=\"http://www.2ser.com/whatson/radiothon\" target=\"_blank\">Radiothon</a>.

As with Willenbring’s debut, <em>Close, But Not Too Close</em> is all about time in both it’s broadest and most discrete sense. There is a deliberation present in it’s composition that makes for a level of engagement far beyond any easy notion of what ambient music is or should be.\n\nThe album opens with the elegiac organ drones of ‘I’m Looking Forward To Your Funeral’, immediately setting the scene for this shadow filled, introspective, eight-song opus. The track showcases Willenbring’s masterful balance of passage and destination. The wonderfully received single ‘Oh, Most’ is submerged in icy washes of guitar, under which piano and bass meet in a rhythmic valium struggle. A plaintive cyclical piano line leads ‘My Ghostly Fingers’ before being joined by vacillating Mellotron flute lines as if Satie had fallen to dream. The classical guitar lines in ‘The Burrow’ literally dig into your subconscious, from where a warm yet unearthly Mellotron acts as a kind of embrocation. ‘For All The Strays’ would have sounded perfectly at home on Willenbring’s debut with it’s dry, pure electric guitar tones, delicately placed piano chords in the foreground and smears of drone threatening in the distance. This bridging of melody and texture, of form and formlessness, time and time again draws the listener into territory that is at once unknown yet intimately familiar – a place that is as marked by notions of transformation as it is by melancholy.\n\n<em>“Absolutely gorgeous.

Last venturing these pages way back at missive 181 wherein we were sent to swoon heaven courtesy of the silken electro retro sounds found on their sumptuous three track ’the spook’ EP debut. The duo - Jarrod and Thomas - have spent the intervening year busily sculpturing an album which now completed is proudly lined up on the shelf awaiting release at the tail end of next month. The album entitled ’machine is my animal’ continues their odyssey into the realms of dream pop, ’stranger than fiction’ culled from that set to serve as a taster is equipped with hulking ice tipped chorus’ of synth chime serenades that cast out a colourfully vibrant swirling haze that’s both as demurring as it is intoxicating all the time regaling within a disarming shy eyed aspect brought to the fore by Jarrod’s softly caressing feminine like vocals and arrested by the uplifting backdrops of starry eyed dream weaves - one we suspect for admirers of OMD’s ’Souvenir’.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.losingtoday.com/tales.php?id=311\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Losing Today</strong></a>','City of Satellites &#039;Stranger Than Fiction&#039; - Losing Today','','publish','closed','open','','city-of-satellites-stranger-than-fiction-losing-today','','','2009-10-28 03:50:38','2009-10-28 03:50:38','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/city-of-satellites-stranger-than-fiction-losing-today/',0,'post','',0),(1628,1,'2009-10-28 03:55:26','2009-10-28 03:55:26','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/stranger.jpg\" align=\"right\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" />We almost missed this one even though we\'re a big fan of the Losing Today zine.

Not that I\'m expecting a Stars Of The Lid album every time, but I usually end up with a gem on par with this one from Sleeping Me (Clayton McEvoy).\n\nThis album consists of 10 melodic, focused instrumental guitar pieces. There\'s plenty of reverb and sweeping background effects, but this doesn\'t feel like a mere \"drone\" record, the songs feel alive and breathing. As far as I can tell, all of the music (aside from some keyboard stabs on one track) was created solely by guitar, which makes the lush, oceanic feel all the more impressive. And yes, even though I already pegged this album as a record that sounds great while you\'re trying to doze off, there\'s really a lot going on if you pay attention.\n\nYou definitely won\'t regret seeking this disc out, but if you want a quick taste, there\'s a Sleeping Me EP release called \"Lamenter\" at archive.org for your listening pleasure. 8/10\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.digitalisindustries.com/foxyd/reviews.php?which=4931\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Foxy Digitalis</strong></a>','Sleeping Me &quot;Cradlesongs&quot; - Foxy Digitalis','','publish','closed','open','','sleeping-me-cradlesongs-foxy-digitalis','','','2009-10-28 06:44:43','2009-10-28 06:44:43','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/sleeping-me-cradlesongs-foxy-digitalis/',0,'post','',0),(1630,1,'2009-10-28 06:54:44','2009-10-28 06:54:44','Be sure to head over to <a href=\"http://www.digitalisindustries.com/foxyd/reviews.php?which=4931\" target=\"_blank\">Foxy Digitalis</a> to read a glowing review of Sleeping Me\'s stunning debut album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=38&amp;products_id=107\"><em>Cradlesongs</em></a> and then head straight to the <a href=\"http://agora.hiddenshoal.com\">HSR Store</a> and grab yourself a copy.  Easy!','Sleeping Me Review at Foxy Digitalis','','publish','closed','open','','sleeping-me-review-at-foxy-digitalis','','','2016-02-03 16:09:54','2016-02-03 08:09:54','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/sleeping-me-review-at-foxy-digitalis/',0,'post','',0),(1631,1,'2009-10-28 22:15:03','2009-10-28 22:15:03','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/paradise_MED.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" />Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=44&amp;products_id=128\"><em>Each Paradise is a Lost Paradise</em></a>, the new EP by English ambient drone architect <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/stray-ghost/\">Stray Ghost</a>.\n\nOn his latest EP, Anthony Saggers works his magic in reverse. Rather than begin at the bottom, exploring the depths of melancholy, <em>Each Paradise is a Lost Paradise</em> is dominated by waves of rich, major-key chords, which seem to be simultaneously advancing and receding, suspending the listener. It is perhaps one of the most light-filled and hopeful of the Stray Ghost releases thus far. However, <em>Each Paradise is a Lost Paradise</em> is still frayed at the edges and cut through with vulnerability. Although reinforced by glowing, enveloping drones, there’s ever the sense that everything is about to fall apart – albeit beautifully.\n\nTen-minute opener ‘La Belle Semaine’ blossoms into life with wavering Mellotrons and blankets of rich synths. Halfway through, the music begins to disappear, before shimmering back into life with a tremolo pulse. Shorter centrepiece ‘Au Revoir à la Belle Semaine’ reprises the wavering Mellotron, but fractured by metallic tones and distant ringing. Finally, ‘Réminiscences Et Rêves De Beauté’ takes all the elements of the preceding tracks, aerates them, then sends the tape loop disintegrating into nothingness across another ten spellbinding minutes.\n\n<em>“Of all the daring new punks giving old ambient stalwarts a run for their money, Saggers is at the top of the heap, a prime example of the refreshing and beautiful ambient renaissance of the past few years” </em>– <strong>Jack Britton, The Silent Ballet</strong>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=44&amp;products_id=128\"><em>Each Paradise is a Lost Paradise</em></a> is the first in a special new series of digital-only releases by Hidden Shoal Recordings.

This pristine album synthesizes ’80s pop aesthetics with ’00s production values to create a truly monumental sound. From the Eastern-influenced synth lines of superb opener ‘BMX’ to the crystalline drift of closer ‘Sky Rider’, <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> carries the listener through a glistening science fiction future, as viewed from a wistful child’s window.\n\nOn single ‘Stranger Than Fiction’, swirling synth sounds, Thomas Diakomichalis’ propulsive drumming and Jarrod Manuel’s pure vocal tones glide beautifully. Its aching melodies to the fore, the song taking heartrending turns before dissolving into the ether. ‘Skeletons’ glides and weaves like a hovercar over the course of seven levitating minutes, before the epic title track stomps across a dystopian future like a Transformer with a conscience, its robot heart bleeding as its surveys the devastation it has wrought. This balance between cold synthesized tones and a warm emotional heart creates a delicious balance throughout.\n\n<em>“equipped with hulking ice tipped chorus’ of synth chime serenades that cast out a colourfully vibrant swirling haze that’s both as demurring as it is intoxicating all the time regaling within a disarming shy eyed aspect brought to the fore by Jarrod’s softly caressing feminine like vocals and arrested by the uplifting backdrops of starry eyed dream weaves - one we suspect for admirers of OMD’s ’Souvenir’”</em> – <strong>Losing Today on single ‘Stranger Than Fiction’</strong>\n\n<em>“You know when you catch a faint smell of something that totally spins you out and reminds you of something you haven’t though about since you were six, completely changing your day?

As with Willenbring’s debut, <em>Close, But Not Too Close</em> is all about time in both it’s broadest and most discrete sense. There is a deliberation present in it’s composition that makes for a level of engagement far beyond any easy notion of what ambient music is or should be.\n\nThe album opens with the elegiac organ drones of ‘I’m Looking Forward To Your Funeral’, immediately setting the scene for this shadow filled, introspective, eight-song opus. The track showcases Willenbring’s masterful balance of passage and destination. The wonderfully received single ‘Oh, Most’ is submerged in icy washes of guitar, under which piano and bass meet in a rhythmic valium struggle. A plaintive cyclical piano line leads ‘My Ghostly Fingers’ before being joined by vacillating Mellotron flute lines as if Satie had fallen to dream. The classical guitar lines in ‘The Burrow’ literally dig into your subconscious, from where a warm yet unearthly Mellotron acts as a kind of embrocation. ‘For All The Strays’ would have sounded perfectly at home on Willenbring’s debut with it’s dry, pure electric guitar tones, delicately placed piano chords in the foreground and smears of drone threatening in the distance. This bridging of melody and texture, of form and formlessness, time and time again draws the listener into territory that is at once unknown yet intimately familiar – a place that is as marked by notions of transformation as it is by melancholy.\n\n<em>“Absolutely gorgeous. Dreamy dark meandering melancholia for fans of Stars Of The Lid, Eluvium, Dead Texan, Tim Hecker, Godspeed and other purveyors of darkly dramatic, abstract moody minimalism” </em><strong>– Aquarius Records on Somewhere Someone Else</strong>\n\n<em>Close, But Not Too Close</em> is now available on CD and in all digital formats (including lossless).

As far as descriptions go, you can trot out the usual suspects, like shimmering and sparkling, because they apply in abundance. The artist, Elisa Luu from Rome, Italy, composes with a maturity and patience that you can hear on this refined debut... There’s something cyclical about the music on <em>Chromatic Sigh</em>, and electronically this places listeners in the wondrous open spaces that still boom quietly in our natural world. These spaces are Elisa Luu’s sonic gift to the chumps stranded in suburbia or packed away in cramped apartments.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.adequacy.net/2009/10/elisa-luu-chromatic-sigh/\" target=\"_blank\">Delusions of Adequacy  </a>','Elisa Luu &quot;Chromatic Sigh&quot; - Delusions of Adequacy','','publish','closed','open','','elisa-luu-chromatic-sigh-delusions-of-adequacy','','','2009-11-15 01:49:18','2009-11-15 01:49:18','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/elisa-luu-chromatic-sigh-delusions-of-adequacy/',0,'post','',0),(1644,1,'2009-11-16 05:38:27','2009-11-16 05:38:27','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/large/paradise_LRG.jpg\" align=\"left\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" />The new EP from Anthony Saggers\' <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/stray-ghost/\">Stray Ghosts</a> has received a short but sweet review on <a href=\"http://dezji.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/ep-stray-ghost-each-paradise-is-a-lost-paradise-hidden-shoal-2009/\">Music, Musings &amp; Miscellany</a>. <em>Each Paradise is a Lost Paradise</em> is the first in a special new series of digital-only releases by Hidden Shoal Recordings.

In the case of Mukaizake’s stunning new release <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=43&amp;products_id=130\"><em>Unknown Knowns</em></a>, the cliché applies: this six-song, half-hour mini-album is sheer perfection. <em>Unknown Knowns</em> kicks off with the fuzzy propulsion of single ‘<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>’, immediately launching the listener into Mukaizake’s compelling corner of the musical universe. This is serpentine indie-rock at its finest, weaving hook after hook around your chest until you’re suspended from the clouds, a grin plastered across your face, unable to even think about listening to anything else.\n\n‘Rule Norse’ ups the ante with a thunderously rollicking first half that follows with gorgeous layered backing vocals and hovering guitars in the exultant, expansive second half. ‘Corporal Steam’ winds the album down a notch with its chiming circular guitar harmonics and Geoff Symons’ plaintive vocals before ‘Frisbee’ launches the listener off the edge of a cliff attached to an electric boomerang of riffs and angular melodies. Then, the stunningly wistful ‘My Friend Flicker’ and the dreamy lament of ‘Slack Bees’ bring the listener down in a pool of dazzling songmanship.\n\n<em>“Mukaizake are a testament to the powers of rock music to find other places to go, to regenerate and make itself over. Had the martians landed in the midst of Mukaizake’s set they would have thought that rock music is a boundless and exhilarating thing. In the right hands, it is” </em><strong>- Hype Magazine</strong>\n\nMukaizake 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). <em>Unknown Knowns</em> is the follow up to their critically acclaimed debut album <em>Mapping The Static</em> released in 2003.\n\n<em>Unknown Knowns</em> is now available digitally worldwide and on CD in the US distributed by <a href=\"http://n5mailorder.com/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=826\" target=\"_blank\">n5Mailorder</a>. The album will then see its Australian CD release and launch on December 11th in Perth, Western Australia at the Amplifier Bar.

Field recordings, layered harmonies, found objects, obsolete hand-me-down machines - all these things brought producer Scott Solter and singer Wendy Allen together. In their music, the disparate parts lead down diverse paths, rich in atmosphere and emotional resonance.\n\nBoxharp is singer Wendy Allen and engineer/producer Scott Solter. Allen and Solter moved to the quiet, lonely, rural atmosphere of the American South in 2006. Allen says, “We moved there for the space and the solitude and we were unprepared for how much of that we got. This album reflects the experience. Themes of nameless grief that run through my family roots in the Virginia mountains make up a large part of the lyrical content.”\n\nAllen has played and toured with several bands since the start of the decade, including The Court and Spark, Tarantel, Paula Frasier (of Tarnation), William Lazarus, and Howard Hello, as well as writing film scores for small indie film projects. She is a member of The Balustrade Ensemble.\n\nAs a producer, recordist and mixer, Solter has worked with numerous indie artists, including Erik Friedlander, Spoon, The Mountain Goats, John Vanderslice, Lazarus, The Forms, Pattern is Movement, Superchunk, Okkervil River, Liam Singer, and St Vincent. Solter has released two solo albums, <em>The Brief Ligh</em>t on Manifold Records (2003) and <em>One River</em> on Tell-All Records (2005). He has also executed a number of remixes, including the full-lengths <em>Scott Solter Re-Populates The Caribbean</em> (Hidden Shoal, 2009), <em>Scott Solter Remixes Pixel Revolt in Analog</em> (digital download, 2007), <em>Canonic: Scott Solter Plays Pattern is Movement</em> (Home-Tapes 2006), and <em>MGM Endings/Cellar Door Remixes</em> (Artichoke, 2004), as well as remixes for Division Day, Voices Voices, and Neon Indian, among others. He is a member of The Balustrade Ensemble and produced 2007’s <em>Capsules </em>for Dynamophone Records.\n\nBoxharp’s debut EP <em>Loam Arcane</em> is released digitally through Hidden Shoal Recordings on 12th January 2010, preceded by the single ‘Rainbirds’ on 1st December 2009. Their forthcoming album <em>The Green</em> is due for release on 20th April 2010, preceded by a single on 2nd March 2010.\n\nDownload a full press release <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Boxharp_Signing.pdf\">here</a>.','Boxharp Signs to Hidden Shoal','','draft','closed','open','','boxharp-signs-to-hidden-shoal','','','2014-08-08 02:48:00','2014-08-08 02:48:00','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/boxharp-signs-to-hidden-shoal/',0,'post','',0),(1670,1,'2009-11-26 04:01:01','2009-11-26 04:01:01','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/large/apricotrailalbum_LRG.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" />Ambrose Nock from instrumental pop quintet Apricot Rail has been interviewed on Sydney\'s Radio 2SER.

One of the greatest of its genre, and one of the greatest in music.\"<a href=\"http://reviews.wruv.org/2009/11/soundtrack-for-a-missing-movie/\"></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://reviews.wruv.org/2009/11/soundtrack-for-a-missing-movie/\">WRUV Reviews</a>','HC-B &quot;Soundcheck for a Missing Movie&quot; - WRUV','','publish','closed','open','','hc-b-soundcheck-for-a-missing-movie-wruv','','','2009-11-26 04:22:51','2009-11-26 04:22:51','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/hc-b-soundcheck-for-a-missing-movie-wruv/',0,'post','',0),(1673,1,'2009-11-27 10:28:05','2009-11-27 10:28:05','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/mms_havent_MED.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" />Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the new album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=131\"><em>I Haven’t Got It In Me</em></a> by Perth-based post-shoegaze outfit <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/my-majestic-star/\">My Majestic Star</a>.\n\nOn third album <em>I Haven’t Got It In Me</em>, My Majestic Star continue to showcase their exceptional command of atmosphere and tension. The album sees My Majestic Star merge weightless daydream pop with droning shoegaze and even a smattering of slowcore. <em>I Haven’t Got It In Me</em> expands upon the immersive and dynamic soundscapes of previous My Majestic Star releases with its lush and subtle songcraft, and for the first time features the stunning vocals of the band’s cellist, Miriam Braun, alongside Chris Mason’s distinctively dreamy tones. The album swims in uppers and downers, all the while painting an intimate yet brooding landscape for the listener to traverse.\n\n<em>“‘Crampling’ is a deliciously dreamy slice of tender post-shoegaze. Chris Mason’s signature reverb-soaked vocals sit perfectly with Miriam Braun’s delicate tones, creating a lush, thoroughly satisfying soundscape… they represent some of the best music [Perth] offers at the moment”</em><strong> – Drum Media</strong>\n\n<em>“an undeniably affecting record, poignantly igniting that inkling for extremely layered and manipulated sounds… much thought-provoking and righteous music to enjoy… Quite unfathomable, but there is something curiously magical afoot here.”</em><strong> – Beat Magazine on <em>Too Late, The Day</em></strong>\n\n<em>I Haven’t Got It In Me</em> will be available through Hidden Shoal Recordings on the 28th of November, 2009. The album is distributed on CD in Australia through Hidden Shoal Distribution and in the US and Europe via n<a href=\"http://n5mailorder.com/release/827/my-majestic-star-I-Haven%E2%80%99t-Got-It-In-Me\" target=\"_blank\">5Mailorder</a>.

Chiming melodies interweave beautifully with ambient textures and Wendy Allen’s pure vocals, giving way to a transcendent harmonised middle eight. The melodies return, crested by sparkling, wavering tones – and then, as if the door to the most intricate Cornell shadow box closes in front of you, it’s all over. ‘Rainbirds’ is taken from the the <em>Loam Arcane</em> EP, a four track cabinet of curiosities out in the new year.\n\nFor Boxharp, inspiration comes from 78s of Burl Ives and John Jacob Niles’ children’s songs played on a Fisher Price record player, and Zoviet France albums encased in burlap and tinfoil. Field recordings, layered harmonies, found objects, obsolete hand-me-down machines – all these things brought producer Scott Solter and singer Wendy Allen together. In their music, the disparate parts lead down diverse paths, rich in atmosphere and emotional resonance.\n\nAllen and Solter moved to the quiet, lonely, rural atmosphere of the American South in 2006. Allen says, <em>“We moved there for the space and the solitude and we were unprepared for how much of that we got. Themes of nameless grief that run through my family roots in the Virginia mountains make up a large part of the lyrical content.”</em>\n\nAllen has played and toured with several bands since the start of the decade, including The Court and Spark, Tarantel, Paula Frasier (of Tarnation), William Lazarus, and Howard Hello, as well as writing film scores for small indie film projects. She is a member of The Balustrade Ensemble. As a producer, recordist and mixer, Solter has worked with numerous indie artists, including Erik Friedlander, Spoon, The Mountain Goats, John Vanderslice, Lazarus, The Forms, Pattern is Movement, Superchunk, Okkervil River, Liam Singer, and St Vincent as well as releasing  two wonderful solo albums, <em>The Brief Light</em> on Manifold Records (2003) and <em>One River</em> on Tell-All Records (2005). He has also executed a number of remixes, including the full-lengths <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=37&amp;products_id=103\"><em>Scott Solter Re-Populates The Caribbean</em></a> (Hidden Shoal, 2009), Scott Solter Remixes <em>Pixel Revolt in Analog</em> (digital download, 2007), <em>Canonic: Scott Solter Plays Pattern is Movement</em> (Home-Tapes 2006), and <em>MGM Endings/Cellar Door Remixes</em> (Artichoke, 2004), as well as remixes for Division Day, Voices Voices, and Neon Indian, among others. He is a member of The Balustrade Ensemble and produced 2007’s <em>Capsules</em> for Dynamophone Records.\n\n‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=132\">Rainbirds</a>’ is taken from the forthcoming <em>Loam Arcane</em> EP and is available for free download from the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=132\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> until the EP’s release on 12th January 2010.

It’s quite like discovering you’re on a very small boat that someone has pushed out to sea while you were napping. Whichever song is playing, you’ll awake to a new, intriguing and oddly beautiful landscape that’s both familiar and just slightly unusual. And you can’t stop looking at it. Put <em>Somewhere, Someone Else</em> on repeat, sit in the dark—or, more appropriately, in the light of single flickering candle—and just allow Willenbring to take you along for the ride. Start to finish, this suite of minimalist tone-poems will not only give you reason to think, it will give you many reasons to listen again.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://hypnagogue.netfirms.com/\">Hypnagogue</a>\n','Wes Willenbring &quot;Somewhere, Someone Else&quot; - Hypnagogue','','draft','closed','open','','wes-willenbring-somewhere-someone-else-hypnagogue','','','2014-08-01 02:23:26','2014-08-01 02:23:26','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/wes-willenbring-somewhere-someone-else-hypnagogue/',0,'post','',0),(1677,1,'2009-12-01 05:36:34','2009-12-01 05:36:34','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/unknownknowns.jpg\" width=\"100\" align=\"right\" height=\"100\" />Mukaizake\'s stunning new album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=43&amp;products_id=130\"><em>Unknown Knowns</em></a> is local feature album all this week on Perth\'s stupendously fine independent radio station <a href=\"http://rtrfm.com.au/\" target=\"_blank\">RTRfm</a>.

In the case of Mukaizake’s stunning new release <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=43&amp;products_id=130\"><em>Unknown Knowns</em></a>, the cliché applies: this six-song, half-hour mini-album is sheer perfection. <em>Unknown Knowns</em> kicks off with the fuzzy propulsion of single ‘<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>’, immediately launching the listener into Mukaizake’s compelling corner of the musical universe. This is serpentine indie-rock at its finest, weaving hook after hook around your chest until you’re suspended from the clouds, a grin plastered across your face, unable to even think about listening to anything else.\n\n‘Rule Norse’ ups the ante with a thunderously rollicking first half that follows with gorgeous layered backing vocals and hovering guitars in the exultant, expansive second half. ‘Corporal Steam’ winds the album down a notch with its chiming circular guitar harmonics and Geoff Symons’ plaintive vocals before ‘Frisbee’ launches the listener off the edge of a cliff attached to an electric boomerang of riffs and angular melodies. Then, the stunningly wistful ‘My Friend Flicker’ and the dreamy lament of ‘Slack Bees’ bring the listener down in a pool of dazzling songmanship.\n\n<em>“Part math-rock, part jangly dream-pop, the six songs are a beguiling dive into the oceanic sounds of 90’s indie rock. Vocalists Geoff Symons and Erickson can both actually sing with clarity, lending the songs a sort of choirboy purity, even when singing about slashing tyres… The outcome is a pristine and intelligent composite of sounds old and new… It’s a heady combination, and one that hopefully won’t need another five years to reoccur.” </em><strong>- Rave Magazine\n</strong>\n\nMukaizake 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). <em>Unknown Knowns</em> is the follow up to their critically acclaimed debut album <em>Mapping The Static</em> released in 2003.\n\n<em>Unknown Knowns</em> is now available in CD and digital formats worldwide<a href=\"http://n5mailorder.com/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=826\" target=\"_blank\"></a>.

Each rise and fall feels like a slow-motion chapter in some narcoleptic romance. ‘Part 4’ is a bittersweet taster for the forthcoming release of the long-awaited new Stray Ghost album <em>Nothing, But Death</em> in February 2010. The track follows on from the stunning Stray Ghost EP <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=44&amp;products_id=128\"><em>Each Paradise is a Lost Paradise</em></a> released in October 2009 through Hidden Shoal Recordings.\n\n<em>“Of all the daring new punks giving old ambient stalwarts a run for their money, Saggers is at the top of the heap, a prime example of the refreshing and beautiful ambient renaissance of the past few years” </em><strong>– Jack Britton, The Silent Ballet</strong>\n\nOne of England’s most innovative sonic artists, Stray Ghost creates highly emotive soundscapes, rich in cinematic sound design and employing elements of drone, minimalism, shoegaze, ambient and electro-acoustic music. Born in Oxfordshire 22 years ago, Anthony Saggers has only been making music for three years, but has quickly received widespread acclaim. In August 2008, the label Highpointlowlife Records released Stray Ghost’s debut release, <em>Losthilde</em>, a semi-autobiographical exploration of lost love, which received glowing reviews and featured in Textura’s top-of-the-year list.\n\nDead Pilot Records released the <em>Fabula/Sjuzhet</em> EP shortly after, followed by the release of <em>A House of Gold and Oak</em> through net-label Phantom Channel, which showcased a greater compositional ability, and a more controlled, minimal approach. Saggers is currently living in Canterbury and is recording a collaborative album with Eugene Robinson, of the band Oxbow, and playing as part of the band Bardo Thodol.\n\n‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=44&amp;products_id=134\">Part 4</a>’ is available for <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=44&amp;products_id=134\">free download from the Hidden Shoal Store</a> until the release of the new Stray Ghost album, <em>Nothing, But Death</em>, on February 16th, 2010.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Media/HSR_Radio/stray_ghost/Nothing_But_Death/Part_4.mp3\">Stray Ghost - Part 4</a>  <em>Stray Ghost - Part 4</em>','Stray Ghost &#039;Part 4&#039; Single Released','','publish','closed','open','','stray-ghost-part-4-single-released','','','2009-12-18 11:31:34','2009-12-18 11:31:34','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/stray-ghost-part-4-single-released/',0,'post','',0),(1701,1,'2009-12-19 01:53:29','2009-12-19 01:53:29','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/File/mms/mms_web_ready.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"120\" width=\"180\" />The <a href=\"http://www.foodchainperth.com\" target=\"_blank\">Foodchain</a> youth events program has invited 12 local (Perth) bands to record in a specially set up public studio over six days.

It\'s a full-blown plunge into digitally-crafted electronic composition, with Luciani weaving flute, sax, and guitar sounds into the quietly radiant fabric of her material. Moments of blissful reverie are captured in “Perhaps” and “Arteline,” both of which breathe like the softest of sighs, while the ruminative “Slow Bass Flute” carves a slow and stately path through a sleepy forest, its tranquil calm punctuated by sudden swoops. At forty minutes, Luciani\'s album is also admirably concise and to-the-point, and ultimately registers as fully-formed music-making that blends melody-based song structures and bold instrumental arrangements into a thoroughly satisfying whole.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.textura.org/reviews/luu_chromaticsigh.htm\">Textura</a>','Elisa Luu &quot;Chromatic Sigh&quot; - Textura','','publish','closed','open','','elisa-luu-chromatic-sigh-textura','','','2009-12-20 13:11:21','2009-12-20 13:11:21','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/elisa-luu-chromatic-sigh-textura/',0,'post','',0),(1703,1,'2009-12-20 13:15:39','2009-12-20 13:15:39','\n<p class=\"bodytext\"> Excerpt: \"The wide-ranging album features everything from beatless reveries (e.g., the blinding supernova “Das bezahlte Lob”) to motorik workouts, with the duo demonstrating a deft command of their material throughout the recording\'s forty-nine minutes. Following a heavenly overture of synthetic string-drenched scene-painting and simmering guitar strokes (“Ein Himmel voller Galgen”), “Mutter, Jazz und der Heilige Geist” digs into a slow-motion krautrock vibe, with martial snares calling forth the troops while a gurgling bass line pulsates, electric guitars blaze, and vibraphones chime... A solid follow-up to the group\'s Hidden Shoal debut <em>Wir koennen ja Freunde bleiben</em> (Let\'s Remain Friends), <em>Morgen Wieder Lustig </em> (Morning Again Amusingly?) bridges decades in its sleek blend of Klaus Schulze-styled synth textures and prog-epic guitar lines. Perhaps the thing that stands out most is how assured the recording is, and the clarity of vision the duo brings to the album\'s material.\"</p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\"><a href=\"http://www.textura.org/reviews/sanktotten_morgen.htm\">Textura</a></p>','Sankt Otten &quot;Morgan Weider Lustig&quot; - Textura','','publish','closed','open','','sankt-otten-morgan-weider-lustig-textura','','','2009-12-20 13:15:39','2009-12-20 13:15:39','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/sankt-otten-morgan-weider-lustig-textura/',0,'post','',0),(1704,1,'2009-12-20 13:18:40','2009-12-20 13:18:40','Excerpt: \"While you could daub it with the ambient tag, <em>Close But Not Too Close</em> is more than just a collection of cosmic drone, although that certainly plays a part. The eight tracks have varied instrumentation, with moods varying from the introspective to the cosmic. The pace is uniformly glacial which may be why it takes a few listens for the subtleties to reveal themselves. Gentle acoustic guitar, stark piano, mellotron generated flute effects, and spaced-out organ all make their contributions.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://dezji.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/album-wes-willenbring-close-but-not-too-close-hidden-shoal-2009/\">Music, Musings and Miscellany</a>','Wes Willenbring &quot;Close, But Not Too Close&quot; - Music, Musings and Miscellany','','draft','closed','open','','wes-willenbring-close-but-not-too-close-music-musings-and-miscellany','','','2014-08-01 02:23:25','2014-08-01 02:23:25','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/wes-willenbring-close-but-not-too-close-music-musings-and-miscellany/',0,'post','',0),(1705,1,'2009-12-20 13:37:57','2009-12-20 13:37:57','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/large/close_LRG.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" />Wes Willenbring\'s latest album, <em>Close, But Not Too Close,</em> has been reviewed on <a href=\"http://dezji.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/album-wes-willenbring-close-but-not-too-close-hidden-shoal-2009/\">Music, Musings and Miscellany</a>.

Fans will get a rare chance to hear songs from <em>Unknown Knowns</em> fill the Rosemount Hotel this coming Saturday (16th January) as Melbourne-based Dan Erickson (guitar, vocals) graces Perth with his goodness for a week and Mukaizake play only their second gig in 12 months.\n\nFrom the fuzzy, angular propulsion of the single \'The Yeah Conditioner\' to the stunningly wistful complexities of \'My Friend Flicker\', <em>Unknown Knowns</em> is serpentine indie-rock at its finest, weaving hook after hook around your chest until you’re suspended from the clouds, a grin plastered across your face, unable to even think about listening to anything else. The mini-album has been thrilling both fans and critics alike since its release and continues to receive a raft of glowing reviews, including a number of \'albums of the week\' as well as landing on several best of 2009 lists both in Australia and internationally. Along with excellent indie radio support here in Australia (including JJJ rotations) the album has also been receiving strong airplay across the US college radio circuit as well as some key European stations.\n\nMukaizake will be supported by the mighty talents of Schvendes, The Ghost Hotel and 6\'s and 7\'s. Doors open at 8pm and entry is $10.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=43&amp;products_id=130\"><em>Unknown Knowns</em></a> is now available on CD at all good music stores, as well online at stores such as iTunes, eMusic, Amazon and the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/\">Hidden Shoal Store</a>.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Media/HSR_Radio/Mukaizake/unknown_knowns/Rule_Norse.mp3\">Mukaizake - Rule Norse</a>  <em>Mukaizake - Rule Norse</em>','Mukaizake One Off January Show','','publish','closed','open','','mukaizake-one-off-january-show','','','2016-02-03 16:03:20','2016-02-03 08:03:20','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/mukaizake-one-off-january-show/',0,'post','',0),(1680,1,'2010-01-21 14:13:04','2010-01-21 14:13:04','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/large/down_review_ep_LRG.jpg\" align=\"right\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" />Down Review\'s latest release, <em>From Here, For Anyone</em>, has been reviewed on the brilliant review site Adequacy.

Just when you think you\'ve hit the peak of this energetic remix Spitzer throws the rest of the kitchen sink at it and cranks it up several notches.  It is supremely difficult not to hit the replay button just to feel that hit of dance floor adrenaline again.\n\nThe track can be <a href=\"http://mytronic.niteclubmusic.com/track/leilani-hotels\" target=\"_blank\">download for free</a> from Nite Clubs Bandcamp site.  Also be sure to check out the original on Hotels\' <em>Where Hearts Go Broke</em> - <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=35&amp;products_id=100\">preview and buy here</a>.\n\nHidden Shoal will be releasing the second single to be lifted from <em>Where Hearts Go Broke,</em> \'The Heart That Hears Like A Bat\',<em> </em> in late February. The track will be accompanied by a number of remixes including Nite Club\'s \'Leilani\' remix.

Beginning with organ swell and percussion, ‘Stranger’ is a perfect way to introduce fifty minutes of warm melancholia. A rich beast in itself, the same track ends in beautiful layers of shoegaze effects and Miriam Braun’s mournful cello. Better still is ‘City Sleeps’, which is spine tingling as soon as Braun’s cello kicks in and the goose bumps are maintained when she teams up with Mason again on vocal duties. It’s a truly perfect song. [The record is] superbly produced and varied enough to keep fans of old and new dreampop very satisfied indeed.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://leonardslair.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/review-my-majestic-star-i-havent-got-it-in-me/\">Leonard\'s Lair</a>','My Majestic Star &quot;I Haven&#039;t Got it in Me&quot; - Leonard&#039;s Lair','','publish','closed','open','','my-majestic-star-i-havent-got-it-in-me-leonards-lair','','','2010-01-15 23:00:05','2010-01-15 23:00:05','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/my-majestic-star-i-havent-got-it-in-me-leonards-lair/',0,'post','',0),(1731,1,'2010-01-15 23:12:21','2010-01-15 23:12:21','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/large/mms_havent_LRG.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" />My Majestic Star\'s third album, <em>I Haven\'t Got It In Me</em>, has been included in <a href=\"http://leonardslair.wordpress.com/2010/01/01/best-albums-of-2009/\">Leonard\'s Lair\'s Best Albums of 2009</a>.

This pristine album synthesizes ’80s pop aesthetics with ’00s production values to create a truly monumental sound. From the Eastern-influenced synth lines of superb opener ‘BMX’ to the crystalline drift of closer ‘Sky Rider’, <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> carries the listener through a glistening science fiction future, as viewed from a wistful child’s window.\n\nOn single ‘Stranger Than Fiction’, swirling synth sounds, Thomas Diakomichalis’ propulsive drumming and Jarrod Manuel’s pure vocal tones glide beautifully. Its aching melodies to the fore, the song taking heartrending turns before dissolving into the ether. ‘Skeletons’ glides and weaves like a hovercar over the course of seven levitating minutes, before the epic title track stomps across a dystopian future like a Transformer with a conscience, its robot heart bleeding as its surveys the devastation it has wrought. This balance between cold synthesized tones and a warm emotional heart creates a delicious balance throughout.\n\n<em>“Australia’s new finest dream-pop duo ascend to orbit... City Of Satellites venture beyond the troposphere on their debut CD Machine Is My Animal. Hazy, ethereal vocals and magisterial synth soundscapes wrap the sensors like rich ice cream upon pressing play... Manuel’s Air-redolent, multitracked vocals are angelic for the lack of a better description... the album radiates glacial atmospherics not heard in this country since the halcyon days of otherworldly Tasmanians The Paradise Motel.”</em> <strong>– Rave Magazine</strong>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=34&amp;products_id=129\"><em>Machine Is My Animal</em></a> is available now through Hidden Shoal Recordings.

Perth band Mukaizake nail this winning formula on their sophomore EP, Unknown Knowns....As with many indie bands, the lyrics are deliberately obscure and ambiguous. The meaning of the songs is conveyed in the way Symons sings them and the snippets you can make out. Put on paper, the lyrics probably wouldn\'t be too impressive, but they work in the songs. More impressive is the tension in all of the tracks between melody and dissonance. Melody always wins, but Mukaizake does an excellent job of adding jagged edges to their songs.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://blogcritics.org/music/article/music-review-mukaizake-unknown-knowns/\">Blog Critics</a>','Mukaizake &#039;Unknown Knowns&#039; - Blog Critics','','publish','closed','open','','mukaizake-unknown-knowns-blog-critics','','','2010-01-22 04:31:19','2010-01-22 04:31:19','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/mukaizake-unknown-knowns-blog-critics/',0,'post','',0),(1739,1,'2010-01-22 06:45:43','2010-01-22 06:45:43','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/Million-Square-Miles.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />Our West Australian Sampler \'<em><a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/\">A Million Square Miles</a>\'</em> gained the attention of \'The Dwarf\' last week.

What stands them apart is Miriam Braun’s sympathetic cello playing. The instrument isn’t over-used, but shines when it leads the melodies rather than just being used as a background drone instrument. I Haven’t Got It In Me is a mixed bag of vocal tunes and instrumentals. It’s also a mixed bag of sonically adventurous pieces, and straightforward slowish indie-pop.\n\n\"<a href=\"http://dezji.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/album-my-majestic-star-i-havent-got-it-in-me-hidden-shoal-2009/\">Music Musings and Miscellany</a>','My Majestic Star &#039;I Haven&#039;t Got It In Me&#039; - Music Musings and Miscellany ','','publish','closed','open','','my-majestic-star-i-havent-got-it-in-me-music-musings-and-miscellany','','','2010-01-22 04:33:28','2010-01-22 04:33:28','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/my-majestic-star-i-havent-got-it-in-me-music-musings-and-miscellany/',0,'post','',0),(1747,1,'2010-01-22 04:32:31','2010-01-22 04:32:31','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/mms_havent.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />My Majestic Star \'<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=131\">I Haven\'t Got It In Me</a>\' has been reviewed on <a href=\"http://dezji.wordpress.com/\">Music Musings and Miscellany</a>.

In an article published a few days ago in <a href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2010/jan/24/david-bowie-on-his-ipod\">The Guardian</a> David Bowie provided a list of his latest favourite tracks. Amongst the eclectic list was our very own B<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/boxharp/\">oxharp</a> with a track from their previous album <em>The Tailored Soldier.</em> The list was timed perfectly by Mister B in anticipation of Boxharp\'s stunning new EP <em>Loam Arcane</em> which will now see release on the 25th of February.\n\nIn a typically alchemical transformation<em> Loam Arcane</em> and the upcoming full length <em>The Green</em> see Boxharp moving away from the americana elements found in <em>The Tailored Soldier</em> whilst carrying over its ambiances, found sounds and Scott Solter\'s inimitable production. Boxharp\'s new material finds the group rooted in a kind of earth-bound celestialism, dealing in sonic hallucinations and giddying melodic twists and turns.\n\nThe first single from <em>Loam Arcane</em>, \'<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=132\">Rainbirds</a>\', is available now for free download from the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=132\">Hidden  Shoal Store</a>.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Media/HSR_Radio/Boxharp/Loam_Arcane/Rainbirds.mp3\">Boxharp - Rainbirds</a>  <em>Boxharp - Rainbirds </em>','Boxharp on David Bowie&#039;s Ipod','','publish','closed','open','','boxharp-on-david-bowies-ipod','','','2010-01-25 16:53:56','2010-01-25 16:53:56','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/boxharp-on-david-bowies-ipod/',0,'post','',0),(1754,1,'2010-01-26 08:00:39','2010-01-26 08:00:39','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/chromaticsigh.jpg\" align=\"right\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />Elisa Luu\'s gorgeous debut album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=42&amp;products_id=117\"><em>Chromatic Sigh</em></a> has recently charted at the wonderful <a href=\"http://kalx.berkeley.edu/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">KALX</a> station in Berkely, California.

Willenbring’s approach skirts the edge of minimalism in that there’s nothing here that isn’t absolutely inherent, nothing wedged or crammed in where it doesn’t belong.

The hallucinogenic pop of the first half springs to vivid life with opener ‘FanFin’, which ricochets with disorientating beats and refracted vocal melodies as if some sort of life-sized zoetrope. Sparkling single ‘Rainbirds’ follows, interweaving ambient textures with Wendy Allen’s pure vocals, giving way to a transcendent harmonised middle eight. The melodies return, crested by sparkling, wavering tones – and then it’s over.\n\nIn the second, more abstract and haunting, half of the EP, the stunning ‘The Postcard’ slowly dissolves  the floor from under your feet. The track plays out like a consoling friend who turns into gas just as you need them most. And finale ‘Who Are Your People (South Shoal)’ is a glorious marriage of rhythmic  bark, distant ghosted fauna and warm, flowing synths – slow motion tribal music for electric ghosts.\n\nThe band was recently  featured on <strong>David Bowie\'s official website </strong>after previously being chosen by Bowie in an article in British newspaper <em>The Guardian</em> as one of his current favourite artists – high and just praise indeed!\n\nThe Loam Arcane EP is an exclusive digital-only release through Hidden Shoal Recordings. The EP will be available in all digital formats (including lossless) via the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=135\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> and all good online stores such as iTunes, eMusic, LaLa, Bandcamp and Amazon.

On this immersive new release, Anthony Saggers mines the rich depths of melancholy and longing, crafting a slow, sad drift of distant melodies, cloaked in smoky ambience. The album signals further development in Saggers’ masterful handling of drone, minimalism, shoegaze, ambient and electro-acoustic music, leading the listener through highly emotive soundscapes, rich in cinematic sound design. This is music of almost unbearable poignancy and colossal scope that rewards deep listening.\n\nTrue to its song titles, comprising ‘Part 1’ through to ‘Part 8’, including the single ‘Part 4’, <em>Nothing, But Death</em> is a complete yet perpetually shifting experience, taking the listener through half-remembered landscapes with slow, descending lump-in-the-throat melodies. Each rise and fall feels like a slow-motion chapter in some narcoleptic romance. And while the album is melodically rich, it never compromises its larger ideals and its over-arching sense of movement.\n\n<em>“Things just sort of came to a standstill when I began listening to Stray Ghost’s three-piece offering, Each Paradise Is A Lost Paradise. Anthony Staggers’ work will set you floating, relaxed and completely trusting, in the deeper waters of his slow, hushed drifts and dimly described environments.... Nothing is wasted here; every sound, musical or otherwise, is crucial and placed just so—and the attention to detail shows in how well the music stands up to a deep listen.” </em><strong>– Hypnagogue on the Each Paradise is a Lost Paradise EP</strong>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=44&amp;products_id=136\"><em>Nothing, But Death</em></a> is available in CD and digital format through Hidden Shoal Recordings.

The two full-lengths  he\'s issued, 2008\'s <em>Losthilde </em> on Highpointlowlife Records and  2009\'s <em>An Avalanche of Swollen Tongues </em>on Dead Pilot, opt for  an uncompromising dark ambient style that can make the listener feel as  if he/she has been spirited away on a one-way tour through  Hell—memorable recordings, for sure, but not what you\'d call  calm-inducing. All of which makes <em>Each Paradise is a Lost Paradise</em>,  Saggers\' first Stray Ghost release (and digital-only release) for  Hidden Shoal, such a pleasant surprise: in diametric contrast to the  nightmarish ambiance of the album releases, the EP\'s three settings are  becalmed and beatific.

We always  had in the back of our mind that we\'d release those tracks that we\'d  recorded. But with Dan and I living away it was too hard to get into a  position where we could finish it off and release it... Now we\'re only dealing with two  states in Australia instead of three, so it\'s easy for us to fly Dan  back for a show... It was actually quite nice revisiting the tracks  that long after it. A lot of things came a long way in the  mixing. We did a bit more production and got a bit more creative with  how we approached them... No additional recording was done to finish the  songs. Everything you hear on <em>Unknown Knowns</em> was recorded in  2004 and mixed in late 2009. The main thing that changed in the mixing  of the record was that we took a lot out. We were  one of those bands where everyone was playing all the time, and part of  coming back and revisiting the record was, \'Do we really need that part  going for the whole song?

Tremolo guitars and vibraphone shimmer over the inimitable Hotels rhythm section like moonlight on a swimming pool, while Blake Madden intones a pulpy tale of “young girls crying” and “young lovers dying”. It’s beautiful, effortlessly cool, and once again proves Hotels as kings of pop melody and mood.\n\nTo round out the release come remixes of two more tracks from <em>Where Hearts Go Broke</em>. ‘Leilani’ is remixed by original Hotels keyboard player Rich Spitzer, AKA Nite Club, who pairs the catchy synth line and vocals of the original with a drum ’n’ bass racket. Bizarre, funky and addictive. ‘Near The Desert, Near The City’ is remixed by Perth’s Justin Manzano, AKA tin Man, who has also <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=122\">remixed Hidden Shoal’s Apricot Rail</a>. tin Man foregrounds the aching nuances of the original by stripping it back and laying the bare bones of the song in a shimmering bath of shoegaze drone and dubby throb.\n\n<em>“Hotels fuse elements of new wave, goth, and surf so seamlessly that genre tags will be the last thing on your mind when you hear their bittersweet, atmospheric pop songs”</em> <strong>– Time Out New York</strong>\n\n<em>“With angular guitars, sober vocals, omnipresent synths, and a taste for the cinematic, Hotels come off like the ultimate ’80s soundtrack band, something akin to a cross between the dreamy haze of M83 and the angsty garage rock of The Strokes… Where Hearts Go Broke is an exciting, emotional record that showcases a band confident in their ability to express themselves.”</em> <strong>– PopMatters</strong>\n\nDownload the single and remixes for free through the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=35&amp;products_id=137\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> and read a full press release <a href=\"javascript:void(0);/*1268238980747*/\">here</a>.','Hotels&#039; Single and Remixes Released - Free Download!','','publish','closed','open','','hotels-single-and-remixes-released-free-download','','','2016-02-03 15:43:36','2016-02-03 07:43:36','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/hotels-single-and-remixes-released-free-download/',0,'post','',0),(1832,1,'2010-03-15 02:55:57','2010-03-15 02:55:57','<img class=\"alignright\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/galleries/The_Caribbean/lazy-k-thumbs/The_Caribbean_Field_Photo_-_Sarah%20Padgett.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"124\" height=\"100\" /><a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/the-caribbean/the-caribbean-music\" target=\"_blank\">The Caribbean</a> are set to play at this year\'s <a href=\"http://www.sxsw.com/\" target=\"_blank\">SXSW</a> with their US label <a href=\"http://home-tapes.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Hometapes</a>.

He grew up listening to bands like Black Sabbath and AC/DC, before turning his ears to darker sounds and the ethereal, experimental pop of David Sylvian. After recording and touring with several bands, he struck out on his own with home studio project Aroma.\n\nNow working under his own name, Mehr wrote and recorded his upcoming debut album <em>Lava </em>at his home studio using guitars and synths, plus any noise-making accoutrements at hand – electric shavers, ventilators, electric tooth brushes and field recordings – all processed and distorted to create a gorgeous wall of sound, akin to the classic ’70s Kosmische music of Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, but also the contemporary masters of textured luminosity, Fennesz and Tim Hecker.\n\n<em>Lava </em>holds true to its title – it is a dense, steaming surge of glue-thick sound. But, after any destructive force there is new growth. Green shoots of melody arc out of the surface and populate the terrain as new possibilities emerge. A new master of heartbreaking ambient drone has arrived.\n\n<em>Lava </em>is to be released by Hidden Shoal on the 15th of June, preceded by the single ‘Hubble’ on the 9th of April.

The track exudes a kind of earthbound celestialism that makes it at once intimate and expansive.

Atop a bedrock of fuzzy synths, glistening counter-melodies arc from the surface in all directions, tracing shards of light across the coal-black skies. The track evokes time spent transfixed, gazing through a giant looking glass, waiting wide-eyed as new discoveries are revealed in the music’s textured contours.\n\nMehr wrote and recorded his upcoming debut album Lava at his home studio using guitars and synths, plus any noise-making accoutrements at hand – electric shavers, ventilators, electric tooth brushes and field recordings – all processed and distorted to create a gorgeous wall of sound, akin to the classic ’70s Kosmische music of Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, but also the contemporary masters of textured luminosity, Fennesz and Tim Hecker.\n\n‘Hubble’ is available for <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=46&amp;products_id=140\">free download</a> from the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> until the release of the album <em>Lava </em>on the 15th of June.

Both  Mason and Braun sing this time, and “Crampling” and “City Sleeps” are  both great verse/chorus/verse songs in a way that the band has never  tried before. But the band’s instrumental prowess hasn’t declined—the  surging “Hi” and the eight despondently cinematic minutes of opener  “Stranger” are among their strongest work.   From the soaring guitar scrapes of “Mitre Park” to “Take a Walk”‘s  melancholy churn, <em>I Haven’t Got It in Me</em> is the work of a band  completely comfortable with each other and with their sound. Combining  elements of dream pop, post rock, and shoegaze, and with tips of the hat  to everything from noise to ambient, My Majestic Star makes beautifully  blurred rock music.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/123068-my-majestic-star-i-havent-got-it-in-me\" target=\"_blank\">PopMatters</a>','My Majestic Star &#039;I Haven&#039;t Got It In Me&#039; - PopMatters','','publish','closed','open','','my-majestic-star-i-havent-got-it-in-me-popmatters','','','2010-04-25 08:35:35','2010-04-25 08:35:35','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/?p=1985',0,'post','',0),(2010,1,'2010-04-15 02:25:19','2010-04-15 02:25:19','<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.rtrfm.com.au/dreamgirl/filesend/10796/pines%2010.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"117\" height=\"187\" /><a href=\"http://www.rtrfm.com.au/events\" target=\"_blank\">RTR\'s <em>In The Pines</em></a> is on again this year - their biggest and arguably their best fundraiser - and Hidden Shoal will be there to support!

It is a  rather strange mixture of Wave, Shoegaze, and surf music. Surf music, this strange  phenomenon of crazy long believed dead, hawaiihemdiger instrumental  guitar music from California.

It’s a superb demonstration of Salli Lunn’s mastery of light and shade. At its brightest, glockenspiel patterns and chiming guitar arpeggios highlight the hope and yearning woven throughout the track; at its darkest, thick coils of bass, pounding drums and wrenching chord changes deepen the atmosphere of foreboding and menace.\n\nThe track is an essential taster for the expansive forthcoming debut album <em>Heresy and Rite</em> produced by Jonas Munk (Manual).  On <em>Heresy and Rite</em> Salli Lunn are utterly bewitching, weaving dark magic in the bleak hinterland of guitar-driven atmospherics, stirring in equal parts pop melody and angular noise. From the tumbling drums and lurching coda of opener ‘The Frame of Reference’ to the stunning finale ‘The First Cause’, the band walk a tightrope between bright-eyed songcraft and shadowy textures that threaten to overwhelm.\n\n‘Parachutes Forever’ is available as a <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=47&amp;products_id=141\">free download</a> until the release of <em>Heresy and Rite</em> on July 6th, 2010.

Lunar half-light, crackling fires and legends weave amid aching synths, dizzying digital edits and startling atmospheres – all clothed in the inimitable tones of vocalist Wendy Allen. Akin to classic dreampop, stripped of the guitars and rebuilt with the parts of old gramophones, twine and birdsong.\n\nThe title track exudes a kind of earthbound celestialism that makes it at once intimate and expansive. ‘Hick’s Farewell’ and ‘Leatherwing Bat’ have the feel of eerie Celtic folksongs re-imagined as affecting synthpop. Lovable pop nugget ‘Konnarock VA’ nestles alongside airy tapestries like ‘The Moon’s The North Wind’s Cookie’ and ‘Rootfires’. The intangible is rendered tactile; the prosaic mystical.\n\n<em>“shows that experimental pop needn’t sacrifice the pop element to be interesting and original”</em> <strong>– Music Musings and Miscellany on the Loam Arcane EP</strong>\n\n<em>“sparkling pure, like dancing snowflakes on a beautiful cold and sun-touched winter’s day. Harmonically waving between Allen’s pretty angelic voice, and the delightfully silvery ambient tones”</em><strong> – Luna Kafe on single ‘Rainbirds’</strong>\n\nBoxharp recently featured in a January 2010 article in British newspaper The Guardian as one of David Bowie’s current favourite artists, and promptly received a full-page feature on Bowie’s official website.\n\n<em>The Green</em> is now <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=142\">available digitally through  Hidden Shoal</a> and all good digital stores.

There is a tonne of  good music being made that we sadly miss every year, but it is  impossible to get everything. That being said, if you\'re a fan of  Cocteau Twins or Goldfrapp, there is a really good album that you have to hear.... this album is gorgeous. “Machine Is My Animal” slides between your  auditory legs so easily and gives you waves of smoky dream-pop  sensuality. Bordering on a tag of heavy spacey Shoegaze and the hot  blissed-out sound of Electronic Pop, this Australian duo has shown some  impressive talent.... the  potential is there, the sound is refined, the songwriting is clever  (did I mention Stranger than Fiction), all City of Satellites  have to do is put it all together and flip out a few similar standard  discs and there can be success in this city.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?p=36253\" target=\"_blank\">Sputnik</a>','City of Satellites &#039;Machine Is My Animal&#039; - Sputnik','','publish','closed','open','','city-of-satellites-machine-is-my-animal-sputnik','','','2010-06-03 08:50:21','2010-06-03 08:50:21','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/?p=2070',0,'post','',0),(2214,1,'2010-05-25 05:44:05','2010-05-25 05:44:05','<img class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Liam Singer\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/liam-singer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"121\" />Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the signing of <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/liam-singer\">Liam Singer</a>. Hidden Shoal will release the Brooklyn-based chamber-pop experimentalist\'s stunning new album <em>Dislocatia </em>in October 2010, preceded by a single in August.\n\nIn Liam Singer’s music, the prosaic and the magical are two sides of the same dusty coin. These fantastical song-stories carry the listener skyward like a clockwork cloud. Produced by Scott Solter, and featuring vocals from Boxharp’s Wendy Allen, upcoming album <em>Dislocatia </em>is a beguiling song cycle, rich in wondrous resonant details.\n\nWho is Liam Singer? Well, for starters he has two previous albums to his name, co-founded a 20-piece kazoo orchestra, played keyboards for The Scientifics (now Eliot Rose) and Nate Ashley, performed with the Kallikak Family, contributed piano to the Balustrade Ensemble album <em>Capsules</em>, is currently playing keyboards for Rob Hampton\'s (ex-Band Of Horses) project Devil Be Gone, occasionally plays piano at Alexander Turnquist’s live shows, is a touring keyboardist with Slow Six and his keyboards feature on <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=45\">Boxharp</a>’s <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=135\"><em>Loam Arcane</em></a> and <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=142\"><em>The Green</em></a> releases.

Iretsu set out to write and record a playful, diverse yet accessible album – and they’ve nailed it. Written in four improv sessions and then broken apart and rebuilt, these songs bounce off each other in compelling directions, revealing addictive new pop dimensions with each spin. From the chiming glockenspiel and wavering synth of the opening title track to the atmospheric throb of closer ‘Particles’, <em>Fang </em>is a wild, beautiful ride. Single ‘Humbuzzer’ is tightened to its maximum potential around an elastic post-punk tune, driven by a fantastic rhythm section and given lift-off by Ryan Cross’s keening vocal. Twilit ballad ‘Sleep’ is carried into the night sky by its eerie whistling line. And ‘Sexy, No?’ has one the catchiest and indelible hooks you’re likely to hear.\n\n<em>“Why you should care: Because it sounds like Deerhoof + some guy who likes Sparks. Weird combo? You bet.”</em> <strong>- ‘Humbuzzer’ chosen in You Aint No Picasso’s “Favourite Songs of March 2010”</strong>\n<em>\n“the band’s sound is dreamy and hard to resist… Once it makes its way into your playlist, your brain, your life, this is the type of album that’s hard to set aside”</em><strong><em> </em><em>– </em>Popmatters on<em> The Moon And Stars Remain In The Morning Sky</em></strong>\n\n<em>Fang </em>is available worldwide in CD and digital formats through Hidden Shoal Recordings.

Lunar half-light, crackling fires and legends weave amid aching synths, dizzying digital edits and startling atmospheres – all clothed in the inimitable tones of vocalist Wendy Allen. Akin to classic dreampop, stripped of the guitars and rebuilt with the parts of old gramophones, twine and birdsong.\n\nThe title track exudes a kind of earthbound celestialism that makes it at once intimate and expansive. ‘Hick’s Farewell’ and ‘Leatherwing Bat’ have the feel of eerie Celtic folksongs re-imagined as affecting synthpop. Lovable pop nugget ‘Konnarock VA’ nestles alongside airy tapestries like ‘The Moon’s The North Wind’s Cookie’ and ‘Rootfires’. The intangible is rendered tactile; the prosaic mystical.\n\n<em>The Green</em> also features backing vocals by Will Johnson (Centro-Matic), who recently toured with Monsters of Folk, and piano and organ from recent Hidden Shoal signing <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/liam-singer\">Liam Singer</a>.\n\n<em>“</em><em>It is this dualism, between the waste emotions and the  logic, the ancient and the future, the technology and the organic  sounds, that makes Boxharp, and The Green such an interesting listen.  This, and the undisputed fact that Boxharp make adoringly delightful pop  music.\" –</em><strong><em> </em>Luna Kafe on </strong><em><strong>The  Green</strong></em>\n\n<em><strong></strong></em><em>“shows that experimental pop needn’t sacrifice the pop element to be interesting and original”</em> <strong>– Music Musings and Miscellany on the Loam Arcane EP</strong>\n\nBoxharp recently featured in a January 2010 article in British newspaper The Guardian as one of David Bowie’s current favourite artists, and promptly received a full-page feature on Bowie’s official website.\n\nThe Green is now available worldwide in CD and digital formats through Hidden Shoal Recordings and all good third party stores.

But, after any destructive force there is new growth. Green shoots of melody arc out of the surface and populate the terrain as new possibilities emerge. A new master of heartbreaking ambient drone has arrived. These tracks evoke time spent transfixed, gazing through a giant looking glass, waiting wide-eyed as new discoveries are revealed in the album’s textured contours.\n\nOn epic opener ‘Agenda’, layers of gorgeous synth gradually accumulate into a gloriously massive chord. On single ‘Hubble’, a bedrock of fuzzed drone is decorated with glistening counter-melodies, tracing shards of light across the coal-black skies. ‘Softwar’ builds and then falls away, only to return with a spine-tingling theme that crumbles under its own majesty.\n\n<em>Lava’s</em> ability to both suspend the listener in its abstracted liquid vapours and at the same time imprint its affecting narrative is a special thing. It is one of those albums whose emotional impact stays with you long after you feel its last touch.\n\n<em>Lava</em> is <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=46&amp;products_id=145\">now available</a> in all digital formats through Hidden Shoal Recordings and all good digital stores.

Elsewhere, \'Sexy,  No?\' flirts with a funk strut, \'Hey You\' makes use of found dialogue by  a woman who sounds like Jane Fonda, and the title of \'Nuclear Whistles\'  is more or less what it sounds like—high-pitched drones whooshing  before a guitar riff drives it into the following track, \'Waves.\' Iretsu  has evolved capably over the past eight years, embracing a number of  guises.

Its latest  full-length, <em>Fang,</em> proves that we all should have been paying  more attention all these years.<em>.. </em>Few bands  work with space as well as Iretsu: Songs like the short instrumental \'Swells\' and the circular \'Sleep\' are given ample room to breathe,  stretch and stumble along to a satisfying ending. <em>Fang</em> is not a  bombastic record, but rather one that slowly grows on you after repeated  listens... <em>Fang</em> isn’t meant for anyone  looking for instant gratification or \'the next big thing\'... Of everything on <em>Fang,</em> \'Humbuzzer\' is the easiest thing to latch on to, but it’s just one of  many treasures available if you’re willing to give the band time to  settle in.

Brimming with delicious breezy melodies and the buoyant vocals of both Bennett and Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Rebecca Pronsky, the optimistic side of the album is typified by gorgeous single ‘Misty Valley’ and the expansive, home-on-the-range vibe of ‘Back Around’. The luscious contours of these songs are immediately inviting, but follow their flowing lines and there’s no resolution – just an anxious question mark.\n\nThe other side of the album, lurking like a shadow, is the knowledge that you’re in the middle of a fantasy and it’s only fleeting, soon to return to normal life. This nagging feeling of emptiness runs throughout, whether it’s the reflective whistling and watery phased melodies of ‘EPO’, the gloriously disorientating multi-tracked saxophone solo on ‘Night Part 1’, or the delicious minor key ‘Night Part 2’. Closing track ‘Green Memories’ casts doubt on whether the holiday was even real, its strings and woodwinds mustering a sense of intoxicating, queasy melancholy.\n\n<em>“brings together the sophisticated pop soundtracks of Burt Bacharach and Ennio Morricone with the electronic detail of Stereolab and Delia Derbyshire….

A dramatic, in the theatrical sense, right turn takes place with \'The Peak\' taking us off in to a lo-fi journey into ambient electronica before \'Night Pt1\' and \'Night Pt2\' heads off into the arena of a soundtrack to a really cool sixties European movie...

From the tumbling drums and lurching coda of opener ‘The Frame of Reference’ to the stunning finale ‘The First Cause’, Salli Lunn walk a tightrope between bright-eyed songcraft and shadowy textures that threaten to overwhelm. Songs rise and fall in vertiginous shifts, carried by thunderous rhythms, skewed guitar patterns and the compelling vocal presence of Lasse Skjold Bertelsen, each a superb demonstration of Salli Lunn’s mastery of light and shade. Chiming guitar arpeggios highlight the hope and yearning woven throughout the album, while thick coils of bass, pounding drums and wrenching chord changes deepen the atmosphere of foreboding and menace.\n\n<em>“...a courageous breath of fresh air for 2010.”</em> <strong>– Undertoner on<em> Heresy and Rite</em>\n</strong>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=47&amp;products_id=148\"><em>Heresy and Rite</em></a> is available worldwide in CD and digital formats through Hidden Shoal Recordings.  Check out the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=47&amp;products_id=148\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> for all availability details.

On a slightly  crackly phone line from  North Carolina, the conversation ranged across early musical influences  (from  Bach to Burl Ives to Gong), the combination of vintage with  modern in studio techniques, the meaning of \"art rock\", the effect of a  rural location on their music, how they hooked up with Hidden Shoal, and field recording in forests, churches and  cemeteries.

The brand new track is a delicious appetiser for Elisa Luu’s next full-length on Hidden Shoal. It overlays levitating guitars and droning synths in heartbreaking counterpoint. ‘Come’ re-enforces Elisa Luu’s place as one of the leading proponents of the post-ambient guard, creating work via alchemy rather than simple marriage. The track is bundled with the epic and aptly titled ‘Pixie Space Rock’, the second song to be released from debut album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=42&amp;products_id=117\"><em>Chromatic Sigh</em></a>. Together, these stunning tracks betray a sensitivity that is rarely found in the often male-dominated sphere of electronica. With its sighing, lilting qualities, Elisa Luu’s music creates a blissful, liminal realm where everything is rendered transformative.\n\n<em>“A stellar work of ambience, Chromatic Sigh refracts the sound of cool intelligence. As far as descriptions go, you can trot out the usual suspects, like shimmering and sparkling, because they apply in abundance… There’s something cyclical about the music on Chromatic Sigh, and electronically this places listeners in the wondrous open spaces that still boom quietly in our natural world. These spaces are Elisa Luu’s sonic gift to the chumps stranded in suburbia or packed away in cramped apartments.”</em> <strong>- Delusions of Adequacy </strong>\n\n‘Come’ along with bonus track ‘Pixie Space Rock’ is available for<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=42&amp;products_id=150\"> free download from the Hidden Shoal Store</a>.

In \'Leatherwing Bat\' and \'Hicks’ Farewell\',  however, the sparse instrumentation serves as a vessel for Allen’s  voice, which soars like a Celtic hymn. More conventionally structured,  the title track is a gentle folk-pop offering that sees a keyboard part  exploring the upper registers while Allen self-harmonises and a simple  drum machine line keeps time. Conversely, \'Cloy\' sees the percussion  stripped away and a mournful note bleeding into the vocals. The album\'s  elegance lies in the minimalist arrangement, which allows Allen’s  porcelain-fragile voice to draw the focus and give each little hiss,  string-strike and echo purpose and space to resonate.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.ravemagazine.com.au/content/view/21716/181/\" target=\"_blank\">Rave Magazine</a>','Boxharp - Rave Magazine','','publish','closed','open','','boxharp-rave-magazine','','','2010-07-26 02:27:14','2010-07-26 02:27:14','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/?p=2426',0,'post','',0),(2430,1,'2010-07-21 05:37:20','2010-07-21 05:37:20','<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/boxharp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"126\" /><a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/boxharp/\" target=\"_blank\">Boxharp</a>\'s Wendy Allen was interviewed by <a href=\"http://www.sicmagazine.net/\" target=\"_blank\">[sic] magazine</a> last week, discussing an array of topics, capturing in rather intimate detail Wendy\'s lifestyle, musical influences and upbringing.

Influenced by the classic exotica of Martin Denny, the aching folk-pop of Fleet Foxes, and the conceptual sweep of The Zombies’ <em>Odessey and Oracle</em>, Bennett\'s latest work <em>On Holiday</em> is brimming with subtly dark, breezy melodies and the buoyant vocals of both Bennett and Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Rebecca Pronsky. From the gorgeous \"ride on top a pop cloud\" single ‘Misty Valley’ to the delicious minor key melancholy of  ‘Night Part 2’, <em>On Holiday</em> is as intoxicating as it is playful.\n\n<em>\"...what we have here is much darker in tone bearing more resemblance to an amalgam of left of centre troubadours like Baltimore’s The Agrarians and the Mamas and the Papas.  The screwed up uncomfortableness of ‘Wild Ride’ is a good example of this… A dramatic, in the theatrical sense, right turn takes place with ‘The Peak’ taking us off in to a lo-fi journey into ambient electronica before ‘Night Pt1′ and ‘Night Pt2′ heads off into the arena of a soundtrack to a really cool sixties European movie… Much of the pleasure derived from it comes from the vocal interplay between the downbeat Mr Bennett and the civilised Rebecca Pronsky, but the lasting value comes from the almost wilful obscurity of it all.

Predictable it isn’t,  and while it might seem that the band threaten to overstretch their  abilities when turning their songs inside out and adding cataclysmic  waves of effects generated powerchords and thunderous rhythmic  arpeggios, the quartet are sufficiently adept to avoid repeating  themsleves at any point... Salli Lunn have gone well out of their way to produce a record that  has both the noticeable hallmarks of their influences and still manages  to sound an entirely original work, and in this they’ve more than  achieved their aim. Anyone wanting to hear a purposeful and imaginative  rock album will find very little fault with <em>Heresy And Rite</em>,  which while it openly references any number of influential and well  known bands of the last three decades also has the defining qualities of  an album very much of the present moment. And it’s loud, very loud  indeed.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.adequacy.net/2010/07/salli-lunn-heresy-and-rite/\" target=\"_blank\">Delusions of Adequacy</a>','Salli Lunn &quot;Heresy and Rite&quot; - Delusions of Adequacy','','publish','closed','open','','salli-lunn-heresy-and-rite-delusions-of-adequacy','','','2010-07-31 06:04:16','2010-07-31 06:04:16','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/?p=2486',0,'post','',0),(2488,1,'2010-07-31 06:18:21','2010-07-31 06:18:21','<img class=\"alignright\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/heresy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" />Salli Lunn\'s awesome <em><a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=47&amp;products_id=148\" target=\"_self\">Heresy and Rite</a></em> has just received a glowing review on the <a href=\"http://www.adequacy.net/2010/07/salli-lunn-heresy-and-rite/\" target=\"_blank\">Delusions of Adequacy</a> music review site.

But, after any destructive force there is new growth. Green shoots of melody arc out of the surface and populate the terrain as new possibilities emerge. A new master of heartbreaking ambient drone has arrived. These tracks evoke time spent transfixed, gazing through a giant looking glass, waiting wide-eyed as new discoveries are revealed in the album’s textured contours.\n\nOn epic opener ‘Agenda’, layers of gorgeous synth gradually accumulate into a gloriously massive chord. On single ‘Hubble’, a bedrock of fuzzed drone is decorated with glistening counter-melodies, tracing shards of light across the coal-black skies. ‘Softwar’ builds and then falls away, only to return with a spine-tingling theme that crumbles under its own majesty.\n\n<em>“…there’s something so fresh about Lava… The German musician/composer simply sounds liberated, despite the familiar vocabulary and nods to his various influences… Lava explores a wealth of approaches and destinations without getting in its own way. It’s wonderfully slow, enriching going.”</em><strong> - Cyclic Defrost</strong>\n\n<em>\"Hubble is the most gorgeous synth orchestration I\'ve heard in ages, a 1000-yard low drone gathering sparkles of melody as it rolls.\"</em> - <strong>The Underground of Happiness</strong>\n\nThe CD version of the album comes in a custom amaray case with gorgeous widescreen artwork. It is distributed through <a href=\"http://n5mailorder.com/release/1002/markus-mehr-lava-%5BPREORDER%5D\" target=\"_blank\">n5Mailorder</a> where it is also available for online order. <em>Lava</em> is also <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=46&amp;products_id=145\">available</a> in all digital formats through Hidden Shoal Recordings and all good digital stores.

With its striking minimalism and melancholic romanticism, the track swoons and sways. Singer’s piano and vocal interweave with the heavenly backing vocals of Boxharp’s Wendy Allen, all topped off with Scott Solter’s masterful production.\n\n‘Winter Weeds’ is a delicious taster of the magic that lies within Liam Singer\'s forthcoming album, <em>Dislocatia</em>, a beguiling song cycle, rich in wondrous, resonant details. Full of fantastical song-stories, the album carries the listener skyward like a clockwork cloud. In Liam Singer’s music, the prosaic and the magical are two sides of the same dusty coin.\n\n<em>\"His hushed, high-pitched whisper recalls the tunefulness and wounded qualities of Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens at their most emotive...Our Secret Lies Beneath the Creek is hardly the blissful piano pop album that past songs like “One Day” hinted at, but by venturing farther into the mysterious, Singer has crafted something far more intriguing.
