<img src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/kweens_MED.jpg" width="150" align="left" height="150" /><a href="http://music.hiddenshoal.com">Hidden Shoal Recordings</a> today announced the release of the single ‘<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=32&amp;products_id=82">Kweens</a>’ by Belfast-based electronic composer <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/rlvl/">RL/VL</a>.

‘Kweens’ is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album <em>Chagrin</em>. Cloaked in tape hiss, the heartbreaking organ figure at the core of the song has enough emotional weight to floor even the most cynical listener. As ‘Kweens’ unfolds, glistening synths circle around the organ, until the melody dissolves in a shimmering outro akin to prime Boards Of Canada. This is ambient electronica of staggering emotive power.

Hidden Shoal Recordings will release RL/VL’s mesmerising full length <em>Chagrin</em> on October 30th 2008. Until the release of the album, ‘Kweens’ will be available for <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=32&amp;products_id=82">free download</a> from the <a href="http://agora.hiddenshoal.com">HSR Store</a>. Chagrin extends a long line of critically acclaimed ambient and instrumental releases available through Hidden Shoal Recordings, including classic works by <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/slow-dancing-society/">Slow Dancing Society</a>, <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=20">Wes Willenbring</a> and <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=23">Cheekbone</a>.
