Hazeldine, making music from the wilds of North Wales, a very strange, fantastic, ultimately unreal place of mountains, streams, woods, villages and obscure wilderness. To quote North Welsh poet R. S. Thomas, “to live in Wales is to be conscious at dusk of the spilled blood that went into the making of the wild sky, dyeing the wild rivers in all their courses.” His music begins at the piano, where notes, space and intention combine over time, until a shape appears. This shape is taken into the computer, where it is twisted, gently, and given more detail, until it is fully formed. Composition takes form through patience, probing, occasional accidents, spontaneity and a form of focused daydreaming.</p>\r\n<p>Debut mini-album <em>Beauty Becomes The Enemy of the Future</em> was released initially on David Newlyn’s Cathedral Transmissions label in December 2009, and as a self-published book in spring 2010. A second 2010 release, <em>31: Before The Light Fails</em>, was released as a digital download and as a special box, an edition of one, containing music and photography, representing Antonymes’ fear and suspicion of the herd mentality. The piece consisted of two tracks to be played simultaneously in separate rooms. Various pieces by Antonymes have appeared on compilations produced by labels Soundcolours, Dezordr, Cathedral Transmissions and Audio Gourmet. The album <em>The Licence To Interpet Dreams</em> was released by Hidden Shoal to widespread critical acclaim in early 2011.</p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<br />\r\n<h2>Antonymes Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title] <a title=\"Back to Top\" href=\"#start\"><strong>Back</strong></a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society – <em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long</em> EP </a></p>\r\n<p><em><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Lost_In_Waves_Of_Light.pdf\">Lost In Waves Of Light</a></em></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\"><em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> Album</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\">‘Endlessly’ Single</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">Antonymes Signing</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery ids=\"8222,8221,8220,8219\"]\r\n<p> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/U7tLhh8a1lo?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/4senhm9eiTY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Antonymes music is  available for licensing (master &#038; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

It is an album of resonant beauty, as expansive as the wilds of North Wales from which it came, yet as delicate and intimate as a loved one’s breath upon your skin. Each song deploys a modest array of instruments and textures, giving them ample space to breathe and glow. The album’s scope is immediately apparent on breathtaking opener ‘The Slow Beginnings of a ‘A Fragile Acceptance’, where faint piano notes are overwhelmed by an aching surge of cellos, and the timeless, lingering chord progression of ‘The Siren, Hopelessly Lost’. Single ‘Endlessly’ weaves traces of nature with unearthly, oscillating tones before giving way to a strident piano theme. On ‘Doubt’, Jan Van Den Broek delivers the words of Paul Morley, cradled against a bed of melancholic piano, violin and cello, leaving an indelible emotional mark. ‘A Light From The Heavens’ almost feels like a natural conclusion to the album, with its sense of reflective yearning, but it is followed by the devastating metaphysical breakdown of ‘On Arrival at the Strange Museum’, a cavernous piece that calls out like some giant magnetic spirit.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3><p>Antonymes is designer, photographer, conceptualist and musician Ian M. Hazeldine, making music from the wilds of North Wales, a very strange, fantastic, ultimately unreal place of mountains, streams, woods, villages and obscure wilderness. To quote North Welsh poet R. S. Thomas, “to live in Wales is to be conscious at dusk of the spilled blood that went into the making of the wild sky, dyeing the wild rivers in all their courses.” His music begins at the piano, where notes, space and intention combine over time, until a shape appears. This shape is taken into the computer, where it is twisted, gently, and given more detail, until it is fully formed. Composition takes form through patience, probing, occasional accidents, spontaneity and a form of focused daydreaming.</p><p>Debut mini-album <em>Beauty Becomes The Enemy of the Future</em> was released initially on David Newlyn’s Cathedral Transmissions label in December 2009, and as a self-published book in spring 2010. A second 2010 release, <em>31: Before The Light Fails</em>, was released as a digital download and as a special box, an edition of one, containing music and photography, representing Antonymes’ fear and suspicion of the herd mentality. The piece consisted of two tracks to be played simultaneously in separate rooms. Various pieces by Antonymes have appeared on compilations produced by labels Soundcolours, Dezordr, Cathedral Transmissions and Audio Gourmet. The album <em>The Licence To Interpet Dreams</em> was released by Hidden Shoal to widespread critical acclaim in early 2011.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Antonymes Reviews</h2>\n[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\n\n<a title=\"Back to Top\" href=\"#start\"><strong>Back</strong></a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society – <em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long</em> EP </a></p><p><em><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Lost_In_Waves_Of_Light.pdf\">Lost In Waves Of Light</a></em></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\"><em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> Album</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\">‘Endlessly’ Single</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">Antonymes Signing</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"8222,8221,8220,8219\"]<p><br /> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/U7tLhh8a1lo?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/4senhm9eiTY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Antonymes music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The EP features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame, along with the inimitable production and additional instrumentation of Robert Pollard co-conspirator Todd Tobias.</p>\r\n<p><em>The Wooden Heart</em> mines a wonderfully rich seam of atmospheric yet epic songcraft that Kramies has made his own. From the throbbing ambient introduction of ‘The Beginning’ through to the delicate folk of ‘The Ending’, Kramies’ new EP covers vast emotional and musical terrain during its 23-minute run-time. The title track’s windswept grandeur is married to an emotional directness that demands your attention and doesn’t let go, ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ sways and swoons with an almost unbearable poignancy, and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’ both alludes to and embodies this music’s timeless appeal.</p>\r\n<p>In addition to Todd Tobias’s production (on ‘The Beginning’, ‘The Wooden Heart’, ‘Upon The Northern Isles’ and ‘The Ending’), <em>The Wooden Heart</em> EP also features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame (on ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’). Rounded out by the beautiful artwork of French photographer Jérôme Sevrette, The Wooden Heart EP is a lovingly constructed work of art.</p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<h4>The European</h4>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 307px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2414891436/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://kramies.bandcamp.com/album/the-european\">The European by Kramies</a></iframe><br /> November 2011</p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p>Produced by Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard, Circus Devils), <em>The European</em> sets Kramies’ gorgeous voice and acoustic guitar within a glowing tableau, epic in scope yet delicate in detail. The EP fades into view with ‘Intro’, a simple cyclical pattern of guitar, piano and vocals gradually subsumed by drones and distortion. This leads into the majestic, glacial sway of the title track, guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Then, ‘Inventors’ is the album’s dark, shadowy heart, a ballad of subtle intensity.</p>\r\n<p>Single ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ is an emotionally resonant vortex of swooning pop built around an absolutely heartbreaking chord progression on synthesizer, carried skyward as layers and layers of instruments build and build. And the closing ‘Antiquarian Days’ is a fitting fade towards a sepia horizon, burbling loops and chiming guitars accompanying Kramies’ gentle lament.</p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\n<p>Dutch-American singer-songwriter Kramies Windt began writing songs at the age of 14 after buying his first synth, acoustic guitar and four-track cassette recorder at an estate sale in his home town of Cleveland, Ohio. Even though he was never really exposed to any music other than old Dutch Christmas records his family had lying around when he was a kid, their haunting sound would shape the direction of his future songwriting.</p>\r\n<p>Kramies started forming and playing in bands around the age of 16, and by the age of 19, the bands he formed became based around the songs he was writing. The bands took on many forms, playing the underground music scene from Ohio to Chicago. Come the late ’90s, Kramies developed his own sound, based around old-world imagery of cobblestone streets, old trains and castles, and romantic, poetic moments. Kramies and his band went on to open for Spiritualized, Grandaddy, Yo La Tengo, Calexico, Stereolab, Dirty Three and Red House Painters.</p>\r\n<p>Come 2004, Kramies decided to focus on writing and recording in the studio, and began working with producer and engineer Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard) and guitarist David Paolucci. Working with Todd and David, Kramies released two albums to critical acclaim: Golden Like A New Thing (ACM, 2008) and Castle of Ghosts (ACM, 2010).</p>\r\n<p>In 2010 Kramies began writing the songs for his first Hidden Shoal release, The European EP, in his coat closet in Colorado. The songs were demoed on four-track, painting a vivid sonic picture of the direction the release would take, drawing on the haunting old-world imagery he loved so much as a kid. The demos were sent to David Paolucci to start working on guitar parts in Ohio. Kramies then toured Ireland, playing really old pubs and small concert halls, which brought new ideas and layers to the songs. The European EP was recorded in June and July 2011 with Todd Tobias, with prominent, swirling guitar work from Dave Paolucci.</p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3><p>[catlist name=kramies-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]</p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a title=\"More Kramies News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/kramies-news/\">More News</a></strong></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=kramies-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/Press_Release-Kramies-The_Folklore_Sessions_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Folklore Sessions</em> EP Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Wooden Heart</em> Album Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart%28Single%29.pdf\">Kramies ‘The Wooden Heart’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_European.pdf\">Kramies – <em>The European</em> EP Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-Coal_Miners_Executive_Club.pdf\">Kramies – ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery ids=\"9000,8999,9001\"]\r\n<p> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/uM1_Ov-ont0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/-l4F8vCH8MM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/vOHV7ZWshkM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/TdmV4aOSmxE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/C5865MiACPA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/KxAnc3dj3b0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Kramies\' music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

A foray into more experimental territory, <em>Quarrels</em> features lusher, denser instrumentation, is rich in ideas yet toys with new levels of restraint. The band’s trademark harmonic guitar passages and syncopation sit beneath languid brass and woodwind, balanced by glitchy electronica, dramatic crescendos and opium-infused oriental explorations; slow, meandering waltzes give way to moments of ethereal lightness and beauty. This music transcends fads and trends to appeal to anyone drawn to beautiful, supple songcraft. The majority of <em>Quarrels</em> was recorded over a four-day period during January 2012 in an isolated farmhouse in Western Australia’s bleak Central Wheatbelt. Instruments were sprawled across a lounge room and picked up at will by the players and in turn by microphones placed in different corners of the room. Back in Perth the real work began, with Justin Manzano going through the recordings, making adjustments and adding the odd track to the collection. Towards the end of 2012, the album was mixed by indie producer extraordinaire Scott Solter and mastered by Simon Struthers (Umpire, Muzaizake).</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>Surry Hills EP</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 274px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=40892357/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=0f91ff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://apricotrail.bandcamp.com/album/surry-hills-bonus-ep\">Surry Hills (Bonus EP) by Apricot Rail</a></iframe></p><div> </div><p>Features exclusive bonus tracks previously only available on a limited run cd-r available at the \'Surry Hills\' launch show. ‘Surry Hills’ is a stunning new song from the much-beloved Apricot Rail that gradually blooms from a shimmering haze of harmonics and ride cymbal into a delicious interweave of resonant guitars and woodwind melodies. The song’s restraint becomes its strength as the hairs on the back of your neck slowly rise. Inhabiting a similar sonic space to Sweden’s marvellous trio Tape, ‘Surry Hills’ is destined to garner a fresh new raft of fans for Apricot Rail’s addictive brand of melodic instrumental pop. After the success of their debut album, ideas for new Apricot Rail songs, including ‘Surry Hills’, were formulated during the band’s extended break late in 2009, after which the songs were road-tested live. While ‘Surry Hills’ maintains a minimalist, restrained and rustic feel typical of Apricot Rail’s debut album, the track also represents a shift in instrumental duties for the band, with new member (number 6!) Justin Manzano (Tin Man) playing guitar, Matt Saville moving from drums to glockenspiel, Daniel Burt moving from bass to percussion, and Jack Quirk moving from guitar to keyboards/electronics, along with Ambrose Nock on guitar and Mayuka Juber on flute.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>Apricot Rail (Self Titled)</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 472px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=110748402/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://apricotrail.bandcamp.com/album/apricot-rail\">Apricot Rail by Apricot Rail</a></iframe></p><div> </div><p>Apricot Rail produce some of the most discretely charming, lush instrumental pop music you’re likely to hear all year.

Their debut album features the wonderfully received single ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’, an anthem without ever having to be anthemic, a melancholic reverie that never resorts to the emotional ease of sadness. ‘If You Can’t Join Them, Beat Them’, which featured on the 2009 Spunk Singles Club compilation album, is another chiming standout.

He was soon joined by Jack Quirk (guitar), Matthew Saville (drums) and Daniel Burt (bass). The premise of the band was simple: music based on unique guitar tunings, the use of natural harmonics, and very open ideas about other instruments, electronica and song structure. After a debut gig at the Hyde Park Hotel in March 2008 with four members and as many songs, the band soon added a fifth in Mayuka Juber (clarinet/flute), redefining the balance of guitars with the addition of beautiful woodwind melodies.</p><p>The band’s debut recording was a DIY affair, with members heading off to a rural property near Yorkrakine, 220km north-east of Perth in WA’s Central Wheatbelt. In the following months, the resulting demo got regular rotation on Perth’s RTRFM, and though unreleased, was rated by the station’s Homegrown presenter Chris Wheeldon as his second-favourite local outing of 2008. In the second half of the year, Apricot Rail chalked up some serious gig mileage, along the way supporting the likes of Holly Throsby, Charge Group and Adam Said Galore and finding refuge among Perth’s emerging post-rock/experimental scene.</p><p>In November 2008 the band headed into Kingdom studios under the guidance of Simon Struthers (Umpire, Adam Said Galore, Mukaizake) where the band recorded their soon to be released self-titled debut long player. Australian fans got a chance to taste some of the new album’s sublime wares when the Apricot Rail track ‘If You Can’t Join Them, Beat Them’ was released on the prestigious Spunk Singles Club compilation album along with the likes of Leader Cheetah, The Dead Sea and The Middle East. The band was also recently nominated for Favourite Newcomer in the 2009 Western Australian Music Industry Awards.</p><p>Apricot Rail are:<br /> Jack Quirk – Guitar, Glock, Trumpet, Electronica, Voice<br /> Daniel Burt – Bass guitar, Saxophone<br /> Matt Saville – Drum Kit/Percussion<br /> Mayuka Juber – Clarinet, Flute, Keyboard, Melodica, Voice<br /> Ambrose Nock – Guitar, Glock, Keyboard<br /> Justin Manzano – Guitar, Electronics</p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail-Dore_Strauch.pdf\">‘Dore Strauch’ Single + Video Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail_Quarrels.pdf\"><em>Quarrels</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail-Surry_Hills_Single.pdf\">‘Surry Hills’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail_Tin_Man_Remix.pdf\">Apricot Rail ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window (Tin Man Spilt Milk Remix)’ Single</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail_Album.pdf\">Apricot Rail Self-Titled Debut Album </a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail_Signing.pdf\">Apricot Rail ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’ Single </a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail_Signing.pdf\">Apricot Rail Sign to Hidden Shoal Recordings</a><br />  [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery columns=\"4\" link=\"file\" ids=\"8576,8584,8585,8586,8587,8588,8589,8590,8591\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/hBYJ6sdcvLo?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p> </p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/VeTN3QNo2Ck?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p> </p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/puWnzmHCPxA?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Apricot Rail\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

A foray into more experimental territory, <em>Quarrels</em> features lusher, denser instrumentation, is rich in ideas yet toys with new levels of restraint. The band’s trademark harmonic guitar passages and syncopation sit beneath languid brass and woodwind, balanced by glitchy electronica, dramatic crescendos and opium-infused oriental explorations; slow, meandering waltzes give way to moments of ethereal lightness and beauty. This music transcends fads and trends to appeal to anyone drawn to beautiful, supple songcraft. The majority of <em>Quarrels</em> was recorded over a four-day period during January 2012 in an isolated farmhouse in Western Australia’s bleak Central Wheatbelt. Instruments were sprawled across a lounge room and picked up at will by the players and in turn by microphones placed in different corners of the room. Back in Perth the real work began, with Justin Manzano going through the recordings, making adjustments and adding the odd track to the collection. Towards the end of 2012, the album was mixed by indie producer extraordinaire Scott Solter and mastered by Simon Struthers (Umpire, Muzaizake).</p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<h4>Surry Hills EP</h4>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 274px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=40892357/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=0f91ff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://apricotrail.bandcamp.com/album/surry-hills-bonus-ep\">Surry Hills (Bonus EP) by Apricot Rail</a></iframe></p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p>Features exclusive bonus tracks previously only available on a limited run cd-r available at the \'Surry Hills\' launch show. ‘Surry Hills’ is a stunning new song from the much-beloved Apricot Rail that gradually blooms from a shimmering haze of harmonics and ride cymbal into a delicious interweave of resonant guitars and woodwind melodies. The song’s restraint becomes its strength as the hairs on the back of your neck slowly rise. Inhabiting a similar sonic space to Sweden’s marvellous trio Tape, ‘Surry Hills’ is destined to garner a fresh new raft of fans for Apricot Rail’s addictive brand of melodic instrumental pop. After the success of their debut album, ideas for new Apricot Rail songs, including ‘Surry Hills’, were formulated during the band’s extended break late in 2009, after which the songs were road-tested live. While ‘Surry Hills’ maintains a minimalist, restrained and rustic feel typical of Apricot Rail’s debut album, the track also represents a shift in instrumental duties for the band, with new member (number 6!)

A foray into more experimental territory, <em>Quarrels</em> features lusher, denser instrumentation, is rich in ideas yet toys with new levels of restraint. The band’s trademark harmonic guitar passages and syncopation sit beneath languid brass and woodwind, balanced by glitchy electronica, dramatic crescendos and opium-infused oriental explorations; slow, meandering waltzes give way to moments of ethereal lightness and beauty. This music transcends fads and trends to appeal to anyone drawn to beautiful, supple songcraft. The majority of <em>Quarrels</em> was recorded over a four-day period during January 2012 in an isolated farmhouse in Western Australia’s bleak Central Wheatbelt. Instruments were sprawled across a lounge room and picked up at will by the players and in turn by microphones placed in different corners of the room. Back in Perth the real work began, with Justin Manzano going through the recordings, making adjustments and adding the odd track to the collection. Towards the end of 2012, the album was mixed by indie producer extraordinaire Scott Solter and mastered by Simon Struthers (Umpire, Muzaizake).</p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<h4>Surry Hills EP</h4>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 274px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=40892357/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=0f91ff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://apricotrail.bandcamp.com/album/surry-hills-bonus-ep\">Surry Hills (Bonus EP) by Apricot Rail</a></iframe></p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p>Features exclusive bonus tracks previously only available on a limited run cd-r available at the \'Surry Hills\' launch show. ‘Surry Hills’ is a stunning new song from the much-beloved Apricot Rail that gradually blooms from a shimmering haze of harmonics and ride cymbal into a delicious interweave of resonant guitars and woodwind melodies. The song’s restraint becomes its strength as the hairs on the back of your neck slowly rise. Inhabiting a similar sonic space to Sweden’s marvellous trio Tape, ‘Surry Hills’ is destined to garner a fresh new raft of fans for Apricot Rail’s addictive brand of melodic instrumental pop. After the success of their debut album, ideas for new Apricot Rail songs, including ‘Surry Hills’, were formulated during the band’s extended break late in 2009, after which the songs were road-tested live. While ‘Surry Hills’ maintains a minimalist, restrained and rustic feel typical of Apricot Rail’s debut album, the track also represents a shift in instrumental duties for the band, with new member (number 6!) Justin Manzano (Tin Man) playing guitar, Matt Saville moving from drums to glockenspiel, Daniel Burt moving from bass to percussion, and Jack Quirk moving from guitar to keyboards/electronics, along with Ambrose Nock on guitar and Mayuka Juber on flute.</p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<h4>Apricot Rail (Self Titled)</h4>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 472px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=110748402/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://apricotrail.bandcamp.com/album/apricot-rail\">Apricot Rail by Apricot Rail</a></iframe></p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p>Apricot Rail produce some of the most discretely charming, lush instrumental pop music you’re likely to hear all year. Delicate, bell-like arpeggiated guitars weave around snaking clarinet and flute, while the beautifully held back yet sanguine rhythm section drives the whole thing into a blurred, sun-soaked horizon. Their debut album features the wonderfully received single ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’, an anthem without ever having to be anthemic, a melancholic reverie that never resorts to the emotional ease of sadness. ‘If You Can’t Join Them, Beat Them’, which featured on the 2009 Spunk Singles Club compilation album, is another chiming standout. And gorgeous closing track ‘Halfway House’ weaves in bubbling electronics as the band lead the listener through glowing landscapes and light-drenched vistas.</p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\n<p>One day, after his star sign promised a ‘dynamic’ afternoon, Ambrose Nock (guitar) decided it was the right time to form a band known as Apricot Rail. He was soon joined by Jack Quirk (guitar), Matthew Saville (drums) and Daniel Burt (bass). The premise of the band was simple: music based on unique guitar tunings, the use of natural harmonics, and very open ideas about other instruments, electronica and song structure. After a debut gig at the Hyde Park Hotel in March 2008 with four members and as many songs, the band soon added a fifth in Mayuka Juber (clarinet/flute), redefining the balance of guitars with the addition of beautiful woodwind melodies.</p>\r\n<p>The band’s debut recording was a DIY affair, with members heading off to a rural property near Yorkrakine, 220km north-east of Perth in WA’s Central Wheatbelt. In the following months, the resulting demo got regular rotation on Perth’s RTRFM, and though unreleased, was rated by the station’s Homegrown presenter Chris Wheeldon as his second-favourite local outing of 2008. In the second half of the year, Apricot Rail chalked up some serious gig mileage, along the way supporting the likes of Holly Throsby, Charge Group and Adam Said Galore and finding refuge among Perth’s emerging post-rock/experimental scene.</p>\r\n<p>In November 2008 the band headed into Kingdom studios under the guidance of Simon Struthers (Umpire, Adam Said Galore, Mukaizake) where the band recorded their soon to be released self-titled debut long player.

The band maintain their enigmatic intimacy and atmosphere, while suggesting haunting vistas just beyond the horizons of these succinct, sad songs. The lyrical themes explored on the album are a continuation of their previous preoccupations – reflection, rootlessness, memory – while also being coloured by Conor Devlin’s experience of recovering from a serious car accident in 2012. First single ‘Dependence Day’ marries [The] Caseworker’s trademark restraint with a strident, slowburning melodic sensibility, while the title track vividly surveys the morphine hallucinations Conor experienced while confined to a hospital bed in Switzerland. The album’s chiming guitars, gently bobbing rhythm section and warm yet dislocated vocals from both Conor and Eimer Devlin generate a sense of intimacy and fragility that is deeply affecting. What’s most apparent on these songs is of a band in absolute control of their craft, able to derive maximum emotional heft from minimal ingredients.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Letters From The Coast</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 540px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1344164510/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/letters-from-the-coast\">Letters From The Coast by [The] Caseworker</a></iframe>\r\n<div></div>\r\nOn their third album <em>Letters From The Coast</em>, garage-dreampop trio [The] Caseworker exude the feel of a shoegazing Velvet Underground reared by the Flying Nun label - the perfect balance of drone and chime. The band creates an enigmatic intimacy and atmosphere, which they wrap around immaculately crafted pop songs like smoke. Perfectly intoxicating. With opening track and lead single ‘National Runner’, [The] Caseworker have an instant pop classic on their hands. The song’s consummate mix of hypnotic guitars and driving rhythm section are perfectly balanced with Conor Devlin’s starry-eyed vocal. Elsewhere, bassist Eimer Devlin assumes lead vocal duties for ‘The Slow Track’ and ‘Sea Years’, both reminiscent of prime Yo La Tengo, while standout ‘Boats’ carries the listener away on its buoyant yet melancholic waves of arpeggios and feedback. The album exudes a wonderful sense of timelessness and romanticism - these are songs to attach memories to.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\n[The] Caseworker was initially formed by Conor Devlin (vocals, guitar) and Eimer Devlin (vocals, bass) as a San Francisco-based recording project back in 2003. They released their first album <em>These Weeks Should Be Remembered</em> in late 2003. Rave reviews prompted the band to try some live shows, with Will Waghorn joining on drums, and extra guitar provided by Monte Vallier (Swell, Jet Black Crayon). Two more albums followed over the next three years: <em>East of Sunset</em>, a soundtrack album of Tom Waits covers, and their second album of original songs, <em>When I Was A Young King</em>, in 2006.\r\n\r\nBetween 2007 and 2009 [The] Caseworker went on accidental hiatus as the band members moved around the world.

The band maintain their enigmatic intimacy and atmosphere, while suggesting haunting vistas just beyond the horizons of these succinct, sad songs. The lyrical themes explored on the album are a continuation of their previous preoccupations – reflection, rootlessness, memory – while also being coloured by Conor Devlin’s experience of recovering from a serious car accident in 2012. First single ‘Dependence Day’ marries [The] Caseworker’s trademark restraint with a strident, slowburning melodic sensibility, while the title track vividly surveys the morphine hallucinations Conor experienced while confined to a hospital bed in Switzerland. The album’s chiming guitars, gently bobbing rhythm section and warm yet dislocated vocals from both Conor and Eimer Devlin generate a sense of intimacy and fragility that is deeply affecting. What’s most apparent on these songs is of a band in absolute control of their craft, able to derive maximum emotional heft from minimal ingredients.</p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<h4>Letters From The Coast</h4>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 540px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1344164510/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/letters-from-the-coast\">Letters From The Coast by [The] Caseworker</a></iframe></p>\r\n<div> </div>\r\n<p>On their third album <em>Letters From The Coast</em>, garage-dreampop trio [The] Caseworker exude the feel of a shoegazing Velvet Underground reared by the Flying Nun label - the perfect balance of drone and chime. The band creates an enigmatic intimacy and atmosphere, which they wrap around immaculately crafted pop songs like smoke. Perfectly intoxicating. With opening track and lead single ‘National Runner’, [The] Caseworker have an instant pop classic on their hands. The song’s consummate mix of hypnotic guitars and driving rhythm section are perfectly balanced with Conor Devlin’s starry-eyed vocal. Elsewhere, bassist Eimer Devlin assumes lead vocal duties for ‘The Slow Track’ and ‘Sea Years’, both reminiscent of prime Yo La Tengo, while standout ‘Boats’ carries the listener away on its buoyant yet melancholic waves of arpeggios and feedback. The album exudes a wonderful sense of timelessness and romanticism - these are songs to attach memories to.</p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\n[The] Caseworker was initially formed by Conor Devlin (vocals, guitar) and Eimer Devlin (vocals, bass) as a San Francisco-based recording project back in 2003. They released their first album <em>These Weeks Should Be Remembered</em> in late 2003. Rave reviews prompted the band to try some live shows, with Will Waghorn joining on drums, and extra guitar provided by Monte Vallier (Swell, Jet Black Crayon). Two more albums followed over the next three years: <em>East of Sunset</em>, a soundtrack album of Tom Waits covers, and their second album of original songs, <em>When I Was A Young King</em>, in 2006.</p>\r\n<p>Between 2007 and 2009 [The] Caseworker went on accidental hiatus as the band members moved around the world. They’re now based respectively in Lausanne, Switzerland, Petaluma, USA, and Clifton-upon-Teme, England. Their new album, <em>Letters From The Coast</em> (Hidden Shoal, 2011), was recorded by Monte Vallier at San Francisco’s Ruminator Audio Studios (Young Prisms, Weekend, Tommy Guerrero).</p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Voices_Out_There_Album.pdf\"><em>Voices Out There</em> Album Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Voices_Out_There_Single.pdf\">‘Voices Out There’ Single + Music Video Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Dependence_Day.pdf\">‘Dependence Day’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker_Makee_Remix.pdf\">‘Hold On To The Road (Makee Remix)’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Sea_Years.pdf\">‘Sea Years’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Letters_From_The_Coast.pdf\"><em>Letters From The Coast</em> Album Release.</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-National_Runner.pdf\">‘National Runner’ Single Release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery ids=\"8637,8636,8635,8638,8639\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/iC-Sm-5450Q?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/y1RZ3ixuVLw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n[The] Caseworker\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The songs were written throughout 2012, with ideas collated, reviewed, developed and remixed. Following the wonderful results of his collaboration with Chloë March on <em>Europa</em> single ‘Edinburgh’, Joe Dürbeck presented the ideas for <em>Bloc4</em> to March and invited her to select tracks and develop vocal ideas. The March-fronted tracks, including first single ‘Blue Ceiling’ and new single ‘Flight’, are especially stunning – and offer a perfect counterbalance to the more melancholic, spacious instrumental pieces.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Europa</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 505px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3820650970/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://jumpel.bandcamp.com/album/europa\">Europa by Jumpel</a></iframe>\r\nNovember 2010\r\n<div></div>\r\nInspired by Jo Dürbeck’s travels around Europe, <em>Europa</em> transforms Dürbeck’s personal memories of 11 different European locations into a gorgeous suite of minimal ambient electronica. The album acts as a kind of abstracted sonic diary, painting the intangibilities and romanticism of memory and travel using sparse yet resonant sound. A simple idea – and one that has produced Jumpel’s most restrained and unified effort to date.\r\n\r\nLike many journeys, <em>Europa</em> begins with speculation and tentative steps. In ‘Arles’ and ‘Bern’, the delicate pattering of subtle rhythms is counterbalanced with delicate melodic figures, like light reflecting off water. In ‘Stockholm’, disembodied voices and more forceful rhythms seep into the mix as the album heads towards a beatific plateau of sorts with its central trio of ‘Rom’, ‘Madrid’ and single ‘Edinburgh’. Beautifully evoking the rain-soaked streets of the Scottish capital, refracted through a personal lens, ‘Edinburgh’ is an exercise in elegance and restraint, filling out the shadows and backstreets with ennui. Melancholic piano chords carry the track forward while electronic texture’s weave amid Chloë March’s luminous lyrical play. A departure – yet also an arrival.\r\n\r\n\'Wien\' simply aches with melancholic introspection, tracing one of travel’s most wonderfully paradoxical sensations – the feeling of looking back while moving forward. \'Mailand\' continues the introspective thread, gliding gracefully into the ambient dub of \'Lissabon\', followed by the wonderfully understated electronica and found sound of closer \'Koeln\'. Rather than a final point on the journey, \'Koeln\' offers a rest point and an understanding that there is always another destination in queue.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Deuxième Bureau</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 540px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2007888569/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://jumpel.bandcamp.com/album/deuxi-me-bureau\">Deuxième Bureau by Jumpel</a></iframe>\r\nFebruary 2009\r\n<div></div>\r\n<em>Deuxième Bureau</em> is a further refinement of the Jumpel sound so wonderfully displayed on debut album <em>Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach</em>. Like perfectly fabricated ecosystems, each track is a luscious miniature environment complete with its own microclimate and prismatic inhabitants. The attention to detail in the music is consistently astonishing, rewarding close listening with a good pair of headphones. <em>Deuxième Bureau</em> is a fabric of intimate moments – some parts woven tightly, others open to the air – and an enticing invitation to explore Jumpel’s delicate and immersive ambient micro-pop.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Samuel Jason Lies On the Beach</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 570px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3069050201/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://jumpel.bandcamp.com/album/samuel-jason-lies-on-the-beach\">Samuel Jason Lies On the Beach by Jumpel</a></iframe>\r\nAugust 2007\r\n<div></div>\r\nDespite its obvious mastery of the dizzying possibilities afforded by technology, Jumpel’s debut album Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach is a work of intense intimacy and humanity. The album serves as a testament to the power of careful distillation and minimalism, exuding an emotional complexity that belies its seemingly simple surface. Tracks were borne out of discrete nocturnal recording sessions where ideas sparked from a range of disparate sources: an old drum machine, a radio announcement, a forgotten guitar chord. Through a process of layering and weaving, the album began to take shape. Opaque electronic textures act like sinew, binding themselves to piano and string melodies. The result is an album that must be heard as a whole, yet seems to exist without a real beginning or end.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nJumpel began life in 2005 when Jo Dürbeck, formerly of the German band Bones, began to write and record his own music. Prior to Bones, Jo’s formative musical experiences involved playing with empty detergent cans, boxes and a piano in his parents’ cellar. In 1986 he bought a Commodore C-64 computer and discovered electronic music.\r\n\r\nJo played keyboards, samples and loops in Bones, who over the course of eight years released three albums and seven singles with EMI Germany, and played over 400 gigs in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. Then, after splitting up the band, Jo and Rene (Bones’ singer) founded their own company and studio and started writing and producing music for films. They wrote scores for numerous films and documentaries, and won the award for Best Score at the Filmfestival Valencia in 2006.\r\n\r\nDespite his obvious mastery of the dizzying possibilities afforded by technology, Jumpel crafts music of intense intimacy and humanity. His albums serve as testament to the power of careful distillation and minimalism, exuding an emotional complexity that belies their seemingly simple surfaces. The albums must be heard as a whole, yet seem to exist without a real beginning or end.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=jumpel content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=jumpel-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel-Bloc4.pdf\"> Jumpel <em>Bloc4</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel-Flight.pdf\">‘Flight’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel-Blue_Ceiling.pdf\">‘Blue Ceiling’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel-Europa.pdf\"><em>Europa </em>Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel-Edinburgh.pdf\">‘Edinburgh’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel-Deuxi%C3%A8me_Bureau_CD_Release.pdf\"><em>Deuxième Bureau</em> Official CD Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel-Quicken_Belts_Single.pdf\">‘Quicken Belts’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel_Album.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel_and_Cheekbone_Signings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Jumpel Signing</a>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"8963,8966,8964,8962,8965,8967\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/w9tj8RrRias?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/qSBhIDaq3sw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/TmM31EinABw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/Ju9VxpD73h0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/fXX46GCwfcY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\nJumpel\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The lyrical themes explored on the album are a continuation of their previous preoccupations – reflection, rootlessness, memory – while also being coloured by Conor Devlin’s experience of recovering from a serious car accident in 2012.

The album’s chiming guitars, gently bobbing rhythm section and warm yet dislocated vocals from both Conor and Eimer Devlin generate a sense of intimacy and fragility that is deeply affecting.

They released their first album <em>These Weeks Should Be Remembered</em> in late 2003. Rave reviews prompted the band to try some live shows, with Will Waghorn joining on drums, and extra guitar provided by Monte Vallier (Swell, Jet Black Crayon). Two more albums followed over the next three years: <em>East of Sunset</em>, a soundtrack album of Tom Waits covers, and their second album of original songs, <em>When I Was A Young King</em>, in 2006.\r\n\r\nBetween 2007 and 2009 [The] Caseworker went on accidental hiatus as the band members moved around the world. They’re now based respectively in Lausanne, Switzerland, Petaluma, USA, and Clifton-upon-Teme, England. Their new album, <em>Letters From The Coast</em> (Hidden Shoal, 2011), was recorded by Monte Vallier at San Francisco’s Ruminator Audio Studios (Young Prisms, Weekend, Tommy Guerrero).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Voices_Out_There_Album.pdf\"><em>Voices Out There</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Voices_Out_There_Single.pdf\">‘Voices Out There’ Single + Music Video Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Dependence_Day.pdf\">‘Dependence Day’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker_Makee_Remix.pdf\">‘Hold On To The Road (Makee Remix)’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Sea_Years.pdf\">‘Sea Years’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Letters_From_The_Coast.pdf\"><em>Letters From The Coast</em> Album Release.</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-National_Runner.pdf\">‘National Runner’ Single Release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"8637,8636,8635,8638,8639\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/iC-Sm-5450Q?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/y1RZ3ixuVLw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n[The] Caseworker\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

First single ‘Dependence Day’ marries [The] Caseworker’s trademark restraint with a strident, slowburning melodic sensibility, while the title track vividly surveys the morphine hallucinations Conor experienced while confined to a hospital bed in Switzerland. The album’s chiming guitars, gently bobbing rhythm section and warm yet dislocated vocals from both Conor and Eimer Devlin generate a sense of intimacy and fragility that is deeply affecting. What’s most apparent on these songs is of a band in absolute control of their craft, able to derive maximum emotional heft from minimal ingredients.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Letters From The Coast</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 540px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1344164510/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/letters-from-the-coast\">Letters From The Coast by [The] Caseworker</a></iframe>\r\n<div></div>\r\nOn their third album <em>Letters From The Coast</em>, garage-dreampop trio [The] Caseworker exude the feel of a shoegazing Velvet Underground reared by the Flying Nun label - the perfect balance of drone and chime. The band creates an enigmatic intimacy and atmosphere, which they wrap around immaculately crafted pop songs like smoke. Perfectly intoxicating. With opening track and lead single ‘National Runner’, [The] Caseworker have an instant pop classic on their hands. The song’s consummate mix of hypnotic guitars and driving rhythm section are perfectly balanced with Conor Devlin’s starry-eyed vocal. Elsewhere, bassist Eimer Devlin assumes lead vocal duties for ‘The Slow Track’ and ‘Sea Years’, both reminiscent of prime Yo La Tengo, while standout ‘Boats’ carries the listener away on its buoyant yet melancholic waves of arpeggios and feedback.

They released their first album <em>These Weeks Should Be Remembered</em> in late 2003. Rave reviews prompted the band to try some live shows, with Will Waghorn joining on drums, and extra guitar provided by Monte Vallier (Swell, Jet Black Crayon). Two more albums followed over the next three years: <em>East of Sunset</em>, a soundtrack album of Tom Waits covers, and their second album of original songs, <em>When I Was A Young King</em>, in 2006.\r\n\r\nBetween 2007 and 2009 [The] Caseworker went on accidental hiatus as the band members moved around the world. They’re now based respectively in Lausanne, Switzerland, Petaluma, USA, and Clifton-upon-Teme, England. Their new album, <em>Letters From The Coast</em> (Hidden Shoal, 2011), was recorded by Monte Vallier at San Francisco’s Ruminator Audio Studios (Young Prisms, Weekend, Tommy Guerrero).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Voices_Out_There_Album.pdf\"><em>Voices Out There</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Voices_Out_There_Single.pdf\">‘Voices Out There’ Single + Music Video Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Dependence_Day.pdf\">‘Dependence Day’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker_Makee_Remix.pdf\">‘Hold On To The Road (Makee Remix)’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Sea_Years.pdf\">‘Sea Years’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Letters_From_The_Coast.pdf\"><em>Letters From The Coast</em> Album Release.</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-National_Runner.pdf\">‘National Runner’ Single Release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"8637,8636,8635,8638,8639\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/iC-Sm-5450Q?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/y1RZ3ixuVLw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n[The] Caseworker\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The lyrical themes explored on the album are a continuation of their previous preoccupations – reflection, rootlessness, memory – while also being coloured by Conor Devlin’s experience of recovering from a serious car accident in 2012.

The album’s chiming guitars, gently bobbing rhythm section and warm yet dislocated vocals from both Conor and Eimer Devlin generate a sense of intimacy and fragility that is deeply affecting.

The lyrical themes explored on the album are a continuation of their previous preoccupations – reflection, rootlessness, memory – while also being coloured by Conor Devlin’s experience of recovering from a serious car accident in 2012. First single ‘Dependence Day’ marries [The] Caseworker’s trademark restraint with a strident, slowburning melodic sensibility, while the title track vividly surveys the morphine hallucinations Conor experienced while confined to a hospital bed in Switzerland. The album’s chiming guitars, gently bobbing rhythm section and warm yet dislocated vocals from both Conor and Eimer Devlin generate a sense of intimacy and fragility that is deeply affecting. What’s most apparent on these songs is of a band in absolute control of their craft, able to derive maximum emotional heft from minimal ingredients.</p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Letters From The Coast</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 540px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1344164510/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/letters-from-the-coast\">Letters From The Coast by [The] Caseworker</a></iframe></p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p>On their third album <em>Letters From The Coast</em>, garage-dreampop trio [The] Caseworker exude the feel of a shoegazing Velvet Underground reared by the Flying Nun label - the perfect balance of drone and chime.

With opening track and lead single ‘National Runner’, [The] Caseworker have an instant pop classic on their hands. The song’s consummate mix of hypnotic guitars and driving rhythm section are perfectly balanced with Conor Devlin’s starry-eyed vocal.

Rave reviews prompted the band to try some live shows, with Will Waghorn joining on drums, and extra guitar provided by Monte Vallier (Swell, Jet Black Crayon).

The band maintain their enigmatic intimacy and atmosphere, while suggesting haunting vistas just beyond the horizons of these succinct, sad songs. The lyrical themes explored on the album are a continuation of their previous preoccupations – reflection, rootlessness, memory – while also being coloured by Conor Devlin’s experience of recovering from a serious car accident in 2012. First single ‘Dependence Day’ marries [The] Caseworker’s trademark restraint with a strident, slowburning melodic sensibility, while the title track vividly surveys the morphine hallucinations Conor experienced while confined to a hospital bed in Switzerland. The album’s chiming guitars, gently bobbing rhythm section and warm yet dislocated vocals from both Conor and Eimer Devlin generate a sense of intimacy and fragility that is deeply affecting.

With opening track and lead single ‘National Runner’, [The] Caseworker have an instant pop classic on their hands. The song’s consummate mix of hypnotic guitars and driving rhythm section are perfectly balanced with Conor Devlin’s starry-eyed vocal. Elsewhere, bassist Eimer Devlin assumes lead vocal duties for ‘The Slow Track’ and ‘Sea Years’, both reminiscent of prime Yo La Tengo, while standout ‘Boats’ carries the listener away on its buoyant yet melancholic waves of arpeggios and feedback.

They released their first album <em>These Weeks Should Be Remembered</em> in late 2003. Rave reviews prompted the band to try some live shows, with Will Waghorn joining on drums, and extra guitar provided by Monte Vallier (Swell, Jet Black Crayon). Two more albums followed over the next three years: <em>East of Sunset</em>, a soundtrack album of Tom Waits covers, and their second album of original songs, <em>When I Was A Young King</em>, in 2006.\r\n\r\nBetween 2007 and 2009 [The] Caseworker went on accidental hiatus as the band members moved around the world. They’re now based respectively in Lausanne, Switzerland, Petaluma, USA, and Clifton-upon-Teme, England. Their new album, <em>Letters From The Coast</em> (Hidden Shoal, 2011), was recorded by Monte Vallier at San Francisco’s Ruminator Audio Studios (Young Prisms, Weekend, Tommy Guerrero).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Voices_Out_There_Album.pdf\"><em>Voices Out There</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Voices_Out_There_Single.pdf\">‘Voices Out There’ Single + Music Video Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Dependence_Day.pdf\">‘Dependence Day’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker_Makee_Remix.pdf\">‘Hold On To The Road (Makee Remix)’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Sea_Years.pdf\">‘Sea Years’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Letters_From_The_Coast.pdf\"><em>Letters From The Coast</em> Album Release.</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-National_Runner.pdf\">‘National Runner’ Single Release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"8637,8636,8635,8638,8639\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/iC-Sm-5450Q?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/y1RZ3ixuVLw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n[The] Caseworker\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The album’s chiming guitars, gently bobbing rhythm section and warm yet dislocated vocals from both Conor and Eimer Devlin generate a sense of intimacy and fragility that is deeply affecting. What’s most apparent on these songs is of a band in absolute control of their craft, able to derive maximum emotional heft from minimal ingredients.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>Letters From The Coast</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 540px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1344164510/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/letters-from-the-coast\">Letters From The Coast by [The] Caseworker</a></iframe></p><div> </div><p>On their third album <em>Letters From The Coast</em>, garage-dreampop trio [The] Caseworker exude the feel of a shoegazing Velvet Underground reared by the Flying Nun label - the perfect balance of drone and chime.

Rave reviews prompted the band to try some live shows, with Will Waghorn joining on drums, and extra guitar provided by Monte Vallier (Swell, Jet Black Crayon).

It is an album of resonant beauty, as expansive as the wilds of North Wales from which it came, yet as delicate and intimate as a loved one’s breath upon your skin. Each song deploys a modest array of instruments and textures, giving them ample space to breathe and glow. The album’s scope is immediately apparent on breathtaking opener ‘The Slow Beginnings of a ‘A Fragile Acceptance’, where faint piano notes are overwhelmed by an aching surge of cellos, and the timeless, lingering chord progression of ‘The Siren, Hopelessly Lost’. Single ‘Endlessly’ weaves traces of nature with unearthly, oscillating tones before giving way to a strident piano theme. On ‘Doubt’, Jan Van Den Broek delivers the words of Paul Morley, cradled against a bed of melancholic piano, violin and cello, leaving an indelible emotional mark. ‘A Light From The Heavens’ almost feels like a natural conclusion to the album, with its sense of reflective yearning, but it is followed by the devastating metaphysical breakdown of ‘On Arrival at the Strange Museum’, a cavernous piece that calls out like some giant magnetic spirit.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\n<h3>Biography</h3>\n<p>Antonymes is designer, photographer, conceptualist and musician Ian M. Hazeldine, making music from the wilds of North Wales, a very strange, fantastic, ultimately unreal place of mountains, streams, woods, villages and obscure wilderness. To quote North Welsh poet R. S. Thomas, “to live in Wales is to be conscious at dusk of the spilled blood that went into the making of the wild sky, dyeing the wild rivers in all their courses.” His music begins at the piano, where notes, space and intention combine over time, until a shape appears. This shape is taken into the computer, where it is twisted, gently, and given more detail, until it is fully formed. Composition takes form through patience, probing, occasional accidents, spontaneity and a form of focused daydreaming.</p>\n<p>Debut mini-album <em>Beauty Becomes The Enemy of the Future</em> was released initially on David Newlyn’s Cathedral Transmissions label in December 2009, and as a self-published book in spring 2010. A second 2010 release, <em>31: Before The Light Fails</em>, was released as a digital download and as a special box, an edition of one, containing music and photography, representing Antonymes’ fear and suspicion of the herd mentality. The piece consisted of two tracks to be played simultaneously in separate rooms. Various pieces by Antonymes have appeared on compilations produced by labels Soundcolours, Dezordr, Cathedral Transmissions and Audio Gourmet. The album <em>The Licence To Interpet Dreams</em> was released by Hidden Shoal to widespread critical acclaim in early 2011.</p>\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Antonymes Reviews</h2>\n[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes pagination=yes title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society – <em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long</em> EP </a></p>\n<p><em><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Lost_In_Waves_Of_Light.pdf\">Lost In Waves Of Light</a></em></p>\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\"><em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> Album</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\">‘Endlessly’ Single</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">Antonymes Signing</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\n<p> </p>\n[gallery ids=\"8222,8221,8220,8219\"]\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/U7tLhh8a1lo?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/4senhm9eiTY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\n<p>Antonymes music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

A beautifully crafted longplay that soars and dives with each new track, moving through landscapes of shoegaze bliss rock to gentle melancholic acoustica. This is undeniably engaging pop that leaves an impression long after the last chord is struck.\r\n\r\nFrom the anthemic shoegaze pop of “Better” (the first single released off the album), to the down and drugged waltz of “Drowning”, to the gentle acoustic zen melancholia of “Running”, the album manages to embrace and distill all that is good about indie guitar pop while carving its own special space.\r\n\r\nThe album continues the lineage of the fine indie singer songwriter guitar pop that has come out of this country of late. Music that manages to infuse itself with a unique and innate Australian feel while never being cliched or obvious.\r\n\r\nIn recent recognition of the album’s strength, “Up Down Up, was chosen as one of the “Left of Centre Slices of Brilliance” in iTunes Australia’s January 2007 Indie Singer/Songwriter Spotlight.\r\n\r\nThe album saw its original release in May 2006 and is now available from all good online stores including iTunes, eMusic, Sony Connect and the HSR Store.\r\n\r\n<strong> The Man\r\n</strong>It was inevitable, really.

It is an album of resonant beauty, as expansive as the wilds of North Wales from which it came, yet as delicate and intimate as a loved one’s breath upon your skin. Each song deploys a modest array of instruments and textures, giving them ample space to breathe and glow. The album’s scope is immediately apparent on breathtaking opener ‘The Slow Beginnings of a ‘A Fragile Acceptance’, where faint piano notes are overwhelmed by an aching surge of cellos, and the timeless, lingering chord progression of ‘The Siren, Hopelessly Lost’. Single ‘Endlessly’ weaves traces of nature with unearthly, oscillating tones before giving way to a strident piano theme. On ‘Doubt’, Jan Van Den Broek delivers the words of Paul Morley, cradled against a bed of melancholic piano, violin and cello, leaving an indelible emotional mark. ‘A Light From The Heavens’ almost feels like a natural conclusion to the album, with its sense of reflective yearning, but it is followed by the devastating metaphysical breakdown of ‘On Arrival at the Strange Museum’, a cavernous piece that calls out like some giant magnetic spirit.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nAntonymes is designer, photographer, conceptualist and musician Ian M. Hazeldine, making music from the wilds of North Wales, a very strange, fantastic, ultimately unreal place of mountains, streams, woods, villages and obscure wilderness. To quote North Welsh poet R. S. Thomas, “to live in Wales is to be conscious at dusk of the spilled blood that went into the making of the wild sky, dyeing the wild rivers in all their courses.” His music begins at the piano, where notes, space and intention combine over time, until a shape appears. This shape is taken into the computer, where it is twisted, gently, and given more detail, until it is fully formed. Composition takes form through patience, probing, occasional accidents, spontaneity and a form of focused daydreaming.\r\n\r\nDebut mini-album <em>Beauty Becomes The Enemy of the Future</em> was released initially on David Newlyn’s Cathedral Transmissions label in December 2009, and as a self-published book in spring 2010. A second 2010 release, <em>31: Before The Light Fails</em>, was released as a digital download and as a special box, an edition of one, containing music and photography, representing Antonymes’ fear and suspicion of the herd mentality. The piece consisted of two tracks to be played simultaneously in separate rooms. Various pieces by Antonymes have appeared on compilations produced by labels Soundcolours, Dezordr, Cathedral Transmissions and Audio Gourmet. The album <em>The Licence To Interpet Dreams</em> was released by Hidden Shoal to widespread critical acclaim in early 2011.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Antonymes Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes pagination=yes title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society – <em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long</em> EP </a>\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Lost_In_Waves_Of_Light.pdf\">Lost In Waves Of Light</a></em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\"><em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> Album</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\">‘Endlessly’ Single</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">Antonymes Signing</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"8222,8221,8220,8219\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/U7tLhh8a1lo?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/4senhm9eiTY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\nAntonymes music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.
