It\'s a massive collage even though it\'s very low and whispering throughout, and rather comforting, putting you in a tranquil state of mind... The compositions are like paintings. Oil on canvas. They sure need some of your time... There are many fine moments of course. Finally, I must say I do get impressed by 18-year-olds being creative like this. Hamill, hailing from outside Belfast, began exposing his compositions some 2 years ago and he sounds like a full-blown, full-grown electronic composer...

Glassacre make a very unusual brand of electronic/shoegazing music that sounds to me like the outer space atmospheres of Avrocar crossed with the ambient rock of Engineers. There’s some hypnotic eerie vocals and some excellent unusual melodies on show which lead to a superb and original release. In my role of music reviewer, I get to listen to an awful lot of music but I sometimes feel a bit jaded by the similarity in sound to so many other acts. Glassacre are one of the special acts who sound immediately different.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://leonardslair.wordpress.com/2007/11/24/excellent-new-ep-from-glassacre/\" target=\"_blank\">Leonard\'s Lair</a>','Glassacre “Slow Attack” - Leonard&#039;s Lair','','publish','closed','open','','glassacre-slow-attack-leonards-lair','','','2008-11-23 15:23:56','2008-11-23 15:23:56','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/glassacre-%e2%80%9cslow-attack%e2%80%9d-leonards-lair/',0,'post','',0),(1058,1,'2008-11-25 02:33:01','2008-11-25 02:33:01','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/cosSpook_MED.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" />Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the 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> by Australian post-rock dreampop duo <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/city-of-satellites/\">City Of Satellites</a>. The EP follows the release of the incredibly popular and well received debut single \'<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=34&amp;products_id=84\">Moon In The Sea</a>\'.\n\nAcross its three expansive tracks, <em>The Spook</em> covers more musical and emotional ground than most full-length albums. Majestic synthscapes are punctuated by pounding rhythms, melodic themes are afforded the space and time to elegantly unfold, and the whole amounts to so much more than the sum of its undeniably beautiful parts.\n\nThe full version of single ‘Moon In The Sea’ opens the EP with delayed guitars, bass and drums swathed in an eerie mist of synths and chimes, above which Jarrod Manuel’s emotive vocals shine clear and true. Then, the loping grandeur of ‘Sleeping Disgrace’ threads backwards guitar loops and drones through a landscape of post-rock-coated opium pop. And the stunning title track sends shivers up the spine as it layers soaring synths across a glistening bed of guitars, bringing the listener back down to earth as its draw the near-25-minute EP to a close.\n\n<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> is now available</a> through Hidden Shoal Recordings in both CD and digital format.

Though very ethereal and dreamy, City Of Satellites are also quite melodic, which I find to be a nice change amongst the sometimes far too abstract post-rock available these days. The opening track and single \'Moon In The Sea\' is the highlight, but the two remaining songs, \'Sleeping In Disgrace\' and \'The Spook\', are just as gorgeous. Consisting of an eerie dreamscape of spooky synths, weeping guitars and singer Jarrod’s frail but beautiful voice, this is definitely worthy of your attention.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://iamthecrime.wordpress.com/2008/11/25/city-of-satellites/\" target=\"_blank\">I Am The Crime </a>','City Of Satellites &quot;The Spook&quot; - I Am The Crime','','publish','closed','open','','city-of-satellites-the-spook-i-am-the-crime','','','2008-11-26 04:02:20','2008-11-26 04:02:20','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/city-of-satellites-the-spook-i-am-the-crime/',0,'post','',0),(1063,1,'2008-11-28 04:53:09','2008-11-28 04:53:09','<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hydey-poster-copy.jpg\" title=\"hydey-poster-copy.jpg\"><img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hydey-poster-copy.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"hydey-poster-copy.jpg\" align=\"right\" /></a>Fall Electric and My Majestic Star are playing live at the Hyde Park Hotel on Sunday 7th December in support of their recent album releases <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=33&amp;products_id=86\"><em>Measure And Step</em></a> and <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=79\"><em>Too Late, The Day</em></a>.

With its slow, folky, delicate introduction plucked by cellist Tristen Parr, swampy middle section and Jewish-meets-gypsy folk ending, this song was a good introduction to the many strange faces of Fall Electric. The addition of Stina to the stage allowed for a soaring rendition of instrumental \'Segue\'. Whilst providing the uber-relaxed crowd a cinematic soundtrack to their wine sipping, Fall Electric did well to recreate the recorded grandeur of this one. A slightly sped up rendition of \'Cold Bahama\' took a while to reach the bite and bile of the album version, but hit its straps with some impassioned beating from drummer Pete Guazzelli. \'Twine Of Wool\', \'Faithless Friend\' and \'Noah\' all featured in a solid second half, which saw the band locking into grooves and building up mini musical melodramas within each song. In a town where mould-perfect pop, rock and metal reign supreme, Fall Electric bring some much needed unpredictability and ambiguity to the ear.\"\n\nXpress','Fall Electric Album Launch Live Review - Xpress','','publish','closed','open','','fall-electric-album-launch-live-review-xpress','','','2008-11-28 04:57:05','2008-11-28 04:57:05','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/fall-electric-album-launch-live-review-xpress/',0,'post','',0),(1066,1,'2008-12-01 01:20:48','2008-12-01 01:20:48','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/measure_and_step.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />Fall Electric\'s superb debut album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=33&amp;products_id=86\"><em>Measure And Step</em></a> is now available on CD from <a href=\"http://www.missinglink.net.au/\" target=\"_blank\">Missing Link</a>, Melbourne, the city\'s finest independent music store.

Their expansive sound, rich with detail, is a clear reflection of a band at the height of their creative powers. Effortlessly shifting focus and timbre with each movement of their epic song-suites, HC-B channel their formidable talents into some of the most thrilling, symphonic instrumental rock you will hear.\n\n<em>“From krautrock to the Canterbury school, from science-fiction films to Godspeed You Black Emperor!, the Sicilian band metabolize everything with sensitivity and personality… HC-B will be on everyone’s lips for some time to come”</em> <strong>– Freak Out</strong>\n\nHidden Shoal will release their new album <em>Soundcheck For A Missing Movie</em> on March 3rd, 2009.

In the middle of this cycle you throw the pictures you want. Indeed, try to catch what you want to find, without delay. Minimalism sound, noise, sample, trumpet and traditional instruments are the seed of this cycle. Songs that go one after the other and that are assembled within a single visual kaleidoscopic framework. A band who is able to express the unsaid, that silence that suggests much more than a debate can do and it can do our own movie soundtrack, the one that everyone hides in his head and heart. Well the HC-B could be the completion of our most hidden feelings. Would be a shame to let them go unnoticed, a major waste of visionary, evocative and literary talent.\"\n\n<strong>Dalinks</strong>','HC-B Review in Dalinks','','publish','closed','open','','hc-b-review-in-dalink','','','2008-12-04 13:45:53','2008-12-04 13:45:53','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/hc-b-review-in-dalink/',0,'post','',0),(1086,1,'2008-12-04 13:48:28','2008-12-04 13:48:28','Excerpt (translated from the Italian): \"Working in work the Catania\'s band establishes and refines a creative identity.

Fall Electric sounds like a bunch of grounded spacemen. <em>Measure And Step</em> is a stellar performance.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.lunakafe.com/moon150/au150b.php\" target=\"_blank\">Luna Kafe </a>','Fall Electric &quot;Measure And Step&quot; - Luna Kafe','','publish','closed','open','','fall-electric-measure-and-step-luna-kafe','','','2008-12-15 03:48:38','2008-12-15 03:48:38','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/fall-electric-measure-and-step-luna-kafe/',0,'post','',0),(1103,1,'2008-12-15 04:06:55','2008-12-15 04:06:55','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/tiefgangSingle.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />City Of Satellites\' <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> EP and Sankt Otten\'s new single \'<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=17&amp;products_id=90\">Tiefgang (Kurzfassung)</a>\', from their album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=17&amp;products_id=81\"><em>Eine Kleine Traurigkeit</em></a>, have just received excellent reviews on indie music e-zine <a href=\"http://www.losingtoday.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Losing Today</a>.

Rhodes piano, marimba and rustling rhythms bounce amiably against the sounds of neon fireflies, tiny springs, and electrical flickering, before they are submerged in a pond of metallic particles. The sounds reappear, nudged into order by a crisp electro snare crack, then the track dissolves into the ether with a few wistful piano motifs.\n\n<em>“Jumpel brings a wealth of musical and life experience to this meticulously crafted debut album… intimate despite its broad spectrum of instrumental colour and occasional cinematic ambiance” </em>– <strong>Textura on the debut Jumpel album Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach</strong>\n\nThe single and accompanying <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=22&amp;products_id=94\">music video</a> are available for <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=22&amp;products_id=93\">free download</a> from the <a href=\"http://agora.hiddenshoal.com\">HSR Store</a> until the release of the album <em>Deuxième Bureau</em> on January 27th, 2009.

It is true enough that they share a similar favouritism for echoed production, intense melancholia and primtive keyboards but they have other attributes too, such as a sense of fun and playfulness which belies the outwardly bleak appearance. Indeed, opener \'Atlantic\' - itself a cracking Interpol-esque tune - only tells half the story. The instrumental tracks \'Farewell To Love\' and \'Cinemascope\' are madcap and quirky like the early work of The Monochrome Set whilst \'Necropolis\' harks back to the even quirkier Devo. Even more impressively, \'J.T.\' stands out as a gloriously elegant piece of work but even this is surpassed by the awesome \'Many Happy Returns\' where the insouciant vocals are balanced out by an increasingly intense rhythm section and an enrapturing haunting melody. More than just another group hitching a ride on the shirt-and-tie bandwagon, the music of Hotels is both bewitching and original enough to silence any would-be doubters.\"\n\n<strong>Leonard\'s Lair</strong>','Hotels Thank You For Choosing... - Leonard&#039;s Lair','','publish','closed','open','','hotels-thank-you-for-choosing-leonards-lair','','','2008-12-22 08:20:24','2008-12-22 08:20:24','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/hotels-thank-you-for-choosing-leonards-lair/',0,'post','',0),(1122,1,'2008-12-22 12:11:11','2008-12-22 12:11:11','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/hotels.jpg\" align=\"right\" height=\"112\" width=\"170\" />Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the signing of Seattle-based impossibly catchy sci-fi pop band <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/hotels/\">Hotels</a>.\n\nHotels makes hook-heavy sci-fi soundtrack synth rock that goes for the jugular, both sonically and melodically. Picture the bastard children of Devo and Joy Division, pushed down the street in a stroller by Claude Debussy, tucked in at night by the Cocteau Twins, read bedtime stories by Kraftwerk, and baby-sat by your sister’s cooler older friends Stereolab and The Pixies, while they tore out the guts of old synths in the garage. The result is the most relentlessly paced, hauntingly melodic, damn catchy pop music you’ve never heard, each song an end credit for the weary traveller or the romantic dancer; a tune you can listen to just before you die.\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<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/hotels/\">Hotels</a>’ second album, <em>Where Hearts Go Broke</em>, was recorded in Seattle at Chromasound and Bear Creek, and is due for release on Hidden Shoal on Valentine’s Day 2009, preceded by a single on January 16th.\n\nFor a sneak preview check out <a href=\"http://www.myspace.com/hotels\" target=\"_blank\">Hotels\' Myspace page</a>, and for more info read the full press release <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Hotels_Signing.pdf\">here</a>.','Hidden Shoal Recordings Announces Hotels Signing','','publish','closed','open','','hidden-shoal-recordings-announce-hotels-signing','','','2016-02-03 15:44:36','2016-02-03 07:44:36','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/hidden-shoal-recordings-announce-hotels-signing/',0,'post','',0),(1123,1,'2008-12-23 06:53:10','2008-12-23 06:53:10','Excerpt: \"Germany’s noir veterans Sankt Otten have built a considerable following in continental Europe during the past 7 years with their dark trip-hop aesthetic... brooding cinematic grooves, setting a murky, uneasy atmosphere akin to Teutonic male-voiced Portishead...

His debut album on Hidden Shoal is brilliant. There are obvious stylistic influences - late \'70s Eno at the pinnacle of those - but <em>Chagrin</em> has enough to stand on its own as one of the best examples of ambience that I have heard for a long time. The first thing that stands out is the amount of recording residue that is ingrained in the music...  the whole point of this music is the quiet meshing of vague, indiscreet sounds. Another feature are those ‘musical’ sounds. They are some of the most acrid and corroded I have ever heard, without Hamill ever resorting to distortion or bitcrushing... The best description I can think of for this music is that it sounds like the aural equivalent of a long disused wall. Its layers of paint and decades of history are now exposed by weather, its usefulness has long since departed, yet it stands as an almost silent testament to vast amounts of information that require forensic observation to uncover. <em>Chagrin</em> is a peaceful, still, beautiful testament to post-industrial decay.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.cyclicdefrost.com/blog/?p=2698\" target=\"_blank\">Cyclic Defrost </a>','RL/VL &quot;Chagrin&quot; - Cyclic Defrost','','draft','closed','open','','rlvl-chagrin-cyclic-defrost','','','2014-08-01 02:20:00','2014-08-01 02:20:00','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/rlvl-chagrin-cyclic-defrost/',0,'post','',0),(1131,1,'2009-01-01 00:28:10','2009-01-01 00:28:10','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/priest.jpg\" align=\"right\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />Slow Dancing Society\'s majestic <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=13&amp;products_id=75\"><em>Priest Lake Circa \'88</em></a> has made it into Headphone Commute\'s astonishingly exhaustive <a href=\"http://www.headphonecommute.com/exclusive/best_of_2008.htm\" target=\"_blank\">best of 2008</a> list (see Tier 3: The Essentials of 2008 Top 40).\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Media/HSR_Radio/Slow_Dancing_Society/priest_lake_circa_88/This_Lilac_Life.mp3\">Slow Dancing Society This Lilac Life</a> <em>Slow Dancing Society - This Lilac Life </em>','Slow Dancing Society in Headphone Commute&#039;s Best of 2008','','publish','closed','open','','slow-dancing-society-in-headphone-commutes-best-of-2008','','','2016-02-03 16:11:56','2016-02-03 08:11:56','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/slow-dancing-society-in-headphone-commutes-best-of-2008/',0,'post','',0),(1133,1,'2009-01-07 05:01:18','2009-01-07 05:01:18','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/atasteof.jpg\" align=\"right\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />Colour Kane\'s wondrous album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=19&amp;products_id=39\"><em>A Taste Of</em></a> is continuing to attract rave reviews more than a year after its release, this time from the brilliant <a href=\"http://blogcritics.org/archives/2009/01/04/174241.php\" target=\"_blank\">Blog Critics</a> site, who devote a two-page review to deconstructing its delights.

Opening track \'Moon In The Sea\' carries faint traces of shoegaze heroes M83 and My Bloody Valentine, with faint, androgynous vocals drifting in and out of clarity over a dreamy soundscape.

Tidal currents of delayed guitar carry the listener across an ocean of reverb, cast adrift beneath a brooding sky. Each track hands an elusive secret to the next, hinted at but never revealed.\n\nSleeping Me’s debut release <em>Cradlesongs</em> is an homage to the bittersweet rise and fall of fortune, the discovery and evasiveness of identity and truth, and the acceptance of distance, disappointment, and the poignancy of an ever-elusive yet omnipresent love. Elegant, engaging and always beautiful, these melancholic symphonies truly live up to their collective description as <em>Cradlesongs</em>, lulling and comforting in their amniotic haze.\n\n<em>Cradlesongs</em> will be released on Hidden Shoal Recordings on 26th May 2009, preceded by a single in April.\n\nRead a full press release about the signing <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Sleeping_Me_Signing.pdf\">here</a>.','Hidden Shoal Recordings Announces Sleeping Me Signing','','publish','closed','open','','hidden-shoal-recordings-announce-sleeping-me-signing','','','2016-02-03 16:09:36','2016-02-03 08:09:36','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/hidden-shoal-recordings-announce-sleeping-me-signing/',0,'post','',0),(1154,1,'2009-02-02 14:23:11','2009-02-02 14:23:11','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/Rich_Bennett_MFUS.jpg\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" />For all our Irish fans, in particular those living in or near Cork, be sure to tune in to the super fine radio show <a href=\"http://www.myspace.com/theundergroundofhappiness\" target=\"_blank\">The Underground of Happiness</a> on Cork Campus Radio 98.3FM.

I immediately fell in love with their music, clearly inspired by some of the great bands of the New Wave and post-punk genres but sounding as fresh and exciting as the pioneers they emulated. I went home with a copy of their first album Thank You For Choosing… and their music playing in my head. It wasn’t until the next show that I realized some of the songs I recognized as familiar favorites weren’t even on that first album; I was hearing them for only the second time ever, and yet they’d been in my head for weeks. That’s the kind of band Hotels is... Hotels have a slogan of sorts, “Travel. Romance. Solitude. Rest…”, which aptly represents the various elements of their style, at times dreamy and distant, at times visceral and vital... Throughout the album, the combination of beautiful guitar and keyboard melodies, complex bass lines, and solid drumming create a very rich, full sound...

Shadowy quintet (perhaps trio?) draped in velvet enigma. Or maybe justc on a light-beer budget, faceless contributors scattered hither and yon, submitting stealthy sonic fragments via telephone transmissions and paper-airplane parachute drops.

You don’t understand it, but, though you might not admit it, you do hope it will understand you. Or at least not destroy you.... You feel like there’s a real live pop song in there somewhere, but it seems that most of the essential moments have been recorded over with silence or incidental noise. There’s obviously still a skeleton to hang a song on, but you start to wonder whether you\'re the one who was supposed to bring it.... These songs are for real, but they\'re not about disappointment, or complacency, or shame, or attention, or glee. They’re about themselves.

The band has teamed up with engineer, producer, mixologist <a href=\"http://www.boxharp.com/scottsolter/poduction-recording-mixing.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Scott Solter</a> (Spoon, Okkervil River, The Mountain Goats) and Hidden Shoal to bring you <em>Scott Solter RePopulates The Caribbean</em>, an EP of dizzying curve balls that split the difference between glistening songcraft and complete re-construction.\n\n<em>“You’re forced to occupy their barren pop architecture.... You don’t understand it, but, though you might not admit it, you do hope it will understand you. Or at least not destroy you...”</em> – <strong>Pitchfork</strong>\n\nThe band is known for assembling songs and records via email and snail-mail, and although that creative model has been abandoned now the band members live in close proximity, the mind-set is locked in. It’s part of the group DNA. The idea of sending five tracks from The Caribbean’s 2007 <a href=\"http://www.home-tapes.com/Hometapes/Home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Hometapes</a> record <em>Populations </em>to Scott Solter to deconstruct, warp, and otherwise obliterate, was neither intimidating nor foreign. While Solter was busy toiling with 2” tape, textiles, liquid polymers, and computers in his North Carolina sound lab, the group became familiar with Hidden Shoal and it became clear to both group and label that the Caribbean/Solter EP was, conceptually, just the kind of project that might be perfect for Hidden Shoal to release. Once group and label began receiving rushes of Solter’s work, it became obvious that such a Caribbean-Hidden Shoal partnership would make creative sense.\n\n<em>Scott Solter RePopulates The Caribbean</em> will be released on Hidden Shoal Recordings on 2nd April 2009, preceded by the single ‘Do You Believe in Dinosaurs?’ on 26th February.

Though you can hear that the 80s had a strong influence on their sci-fi indie pop (they even have songs titles like \'Flight of the Navigator\'), I can’t quite say they sound like band X or Y.

Now that type of thing might seem like a small aesthetic, but it goes a really long way. It showed they were having fun with their band title, and using it to draw the aspect of theatre into their live show. As a band, the effort you put into your live show honors your fans and shows appreciation that they came out as opposed to just listening at home... From where I stood, the band seemed so excited! I could go on for days about the impact of stage presence. You can make the most intense sounding music, but if you look drab while you are playing it, not only does it look awkward but it makes me feel awkward watching. Hotels energy matched there music in a very endearing way. Their excitement made me excited in a way that added to the dimension and dynamic of the music... seeing them live adds so much to it. The energy that they brought made what was impacting, explosive. Plus, Hotels approach to music has a nice vocal instrumental mix. Letting the vocals take the lead for a bit then letting the all of the other elements rise to the occasion really gives Hotels the space rock out and really get into the music.

The album is littered with influences from Joy Division, Interpol, Kraftwerk and The Pixies, with plenty of dance-along tracks, but also softer, atmospheric, shoegazing. The drawling, swelled vocals of Blake Madden in \'The Heart That Hears Like A Bat\' is reminiscent of early Joy Division, and sounds strangely akin to many a James Bond theme – definitely a standout track on the album.

The album exudes restraint and repose, yet is so richly melodic and full. While <em>Priest Lake Circa ’88</em>  draws its raw form from ambient music, post rock and even dream pop, it is masterfully crafted into something that could only ever find itself under the Slow Dancing Society moniker. The album speaks of both departure and eventual return, and perhaps in its broadest sense the notion of “home”. Above all, this is music to bathe in: warm, steamy and all-encompassing.\n\n<em>“Hidden Shoal delivers once again! … With Brian Eno serving as the main influence for Sullivan’s work, I could attempt to classify the music as abstract ambient meeting experimental shoegaze. Or I could just name a few of my favorite artists that come to mind immediately upon my first listen: Stars of the Lid, Hammock, and Bitcrush.

In each of its eight majestic songs, Soundcheck For A Missing Movie follows HC-B’s finely trained lens across a breathtaking instrumental rock landscape, rich with detail and swimming with emotive currents. In triumphant single ‘Hot Afternoon In The Bulls’ Square’, free-jazz horns squabble and blare like a swarm of bees before the main theme shines through like an exultant fanfare, supported by a thundering bassline. The gorgeous ‘Slow Compensation’ winds sinuous synth lines, violin and a longing male and female vocal through the swaying drums and guitars, mustering a quietly anthemic yet intimate epic.

There’s even a couple of nods to the oft-imitated Boards Of Canada on the final two tracks but Dürbeck is such a classy performer, even this supposed homage is carried out in his own, quietly seductive style.

It takes you to places that are buried in your mind but are rarely visited amid all the chaos of today’s life... Delicate terrains of sound are created and laced intricately together. This album should, and could be prescribed to help us through the grime of the day’s madness. \'Joe Couldn’t Make It Tonight\' is a superbly constructed counter-balance between the dark and unsettling voice repeating the title above delicate and melancholic piano. The result is a memorable album highlight begging to have its story unearthed and revealed... The album’s journey continues through the sublime minimalism of \'Matter Of Time\'.

Such a policy results in inspiring, crescendo-laden numbers like ‘Playing with Planes’ which builds momentum via introspective hues not a million miles away from Tortoise... HC-B cram as much as possible into <em>Soundcheck</em>’s 50-minute running time and it actually comes as a disappointment when it ends.

In each of its eight majestic songs, Soundcheck For A Missing Movie follows HC-B’s finely trained lens across a breathtaking instrumental rock landscape, rich with detail and swimming with emotive currents. In triumphant single ‘Hot Afternoon In The Bulls’ Square’, free-jazz horns squabble and blare like a swarm of bees before the main theme shines through like an exultant fanfare, supported by a thundering bassline. The gorgeous ‘Slow Compensation’ winds sinuous synth lines, violin and a longing male and female vocal through the swaying drums and guitars, mustering a quietly anthemic yet intimate epic. And closer ‘Missing Movie’ brings the house down with a storm of ferocious guitars.\n\n<em>“this is instrumental post-rock with attention-grabbing orchestral construction... HC-B really are something special”</em> - <a href=\"http://eveninthefuture.blogspot.com/2009/02/hc-b-group-soundtrack-for-missing-movie.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Even In The Future Nothing Works</strong></a>\n\n<em>“</em>HC-B cram as much as possible into <em>Soundcheck</em>’s 50-minute running time and it actually comes as a disappointment when it ends.

This is no more true than for the sublime melancholy that is ‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=38&amp;products_id=104\">Legs Like Gravestone</a>’, the first track to be lifted from the album. Elegant, hopeful and infused with a sad beauty, ‘Legs Like Gravestone’ plays out like an elegy to fallen greatness as much as a passage back to the amniotic haze - an eternal return.\n\n<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/sleeping-me.jpg\" width=\"170\" align=\"right\" height=\"128\" />\n\nTextural and meticulously composed, the emotive ambience of Sleeping Me is a quiet reminder of all the beauty and personal strife that is experienced in solitude. Tidal currents of delayed guitar carry the listener across an ocean of reverb, cast adrift beneath a brooding sky. Each track hands an elusive secret to the next, hinted at but never revealed.\n\n‘Legs Like Gravestone’ is available for <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=38&amp;products_id=104\">free download</a> from the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=38&amp;products_id=104\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> until the release of <em>Cradlesongs </em>on 26th May 2009.

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 <a href=\"http://www.myspace.com/spunksinglesclub\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Spunk Singles Club</em></a> compilation album along with the likes of Leeder 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.\n\nHidden Shoal will release Apricot Rail’s self-titled debut album on the 4th of July, preceded by the single ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’ on the 2nd of June. The band will be doing a run of shows in Perth throughout June and July to support the album.\n\nRead a full <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail_Signing.pdf\">press release here</a> and check out the band\'s <a href=\"http://www.myspace.com/apricotrail\" target=\"_blank\">Myspace</a> for all gig details.','Apricot Rail Sign with Hidden Shoal','','publish','closed','open','','apricot-rail-sign-with-hidden-shoal','','','2016-02-03 13:44:13','2016-02-03 05:44:13','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/apricot-rail-sign-with-hidden-shoal/',0,'post','',0),(1348,1,'2009-05-18 22:53:17','2009-05-18 22:53:17','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/Tarcutta_waltz_MED.jpg\" width=\"150\" align=\"right\" height=\"150\" />Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the single ‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=39&amp;products_id=106\">You Gotta Crawl Before You Walk Before You Waltz</a>’ by Melbourne-based instrumental rock trio Tarcutta.\n\n‘You Gotta Crawl…’ unfolds into being with a luminous pattern on 12-string electric guitar, the low hum of Hammond organ, and a delicious brushed drum pattern. Gradually, delicate organs runs are stirred in before the song seems to fall away, then changes direction and builds into an eddying spiral of tumbling melody. All three instruments bob and weave expertly before building into a subtle climax that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. After over six minutes the song gradually rumbles to a close – leaving your jaw on the floor, hungry for more.\n\n<em>“a truly lovely instrumental tapestry... bewitching and addictive”</em> <strong>– Luna Kafe</strong>\n\nTarcutta draw inspiration from rock, punk and post-rock to create their own distinctive and emotive blend. The subtle ebb and flow of their compositions, the complex interweaving of guitar, organ and drums, and the raw immediacy of the playing, captured live in the studio, distinguish Tarcutta as an essential band. Inspired by Sonic Youth, Theodore Adorno and sporadic bushwalking, Tarcutta formed in North Fitzroy, Melbourne in late 2004. Peter Barrett (drums), Justin Buckley (guitar) and Justin Wheelahan (Hammond organ, piano) recorded their self-titled debut album at Head Gap studio, Melbourne with Casey Rice, who has worked with Tortoise, Dirty Three and Hidden Shoal’s very own Fall Electric.\n\n‘You’ve Gotta Crawl Before You Walk Before You Waltz’ is available for <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=39&amp;products_id=106\">free download</a> from the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> until the digital release of Tarcutta’s self-titled album on June 23rd, followed by a CD release in July.\n\nRead a full press release <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Tarcutta_Single.pdf\">here</a>.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Media/HSR_Radio/Tarcutta/tarcutta/You_Gotta_Crawl_Before_You_Walk_Before_You_Waltz.mp3\">Tarcutta - You’ve Gotta Crawl Before You Walk Before You Waltz</a>     <em>Tarcutta - You’ve Gotta Crawl Before You Walk Before You Waltz </em>','Debut Tarcutta Single Released, Free Download Available','','publish','closed','open','','debut-tarcutta-single-released-free-download-available','','','2009-05-18 22:53:17','2009-05-18 22:53:17','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/debut-tarcutta-single-released-free-download-available/',0,'post','',0),(1361,1,'2009-05-21 04:05:53','2009-05-21 04:05:53','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/thar-she-blows.jpg\" alt=\"Thar She Blows\" align=\"left\" />Fans of awesomeness (yes I said it!) need to get on down to The Velvet Lounge (Mt Lawely, Western Australia) this Friday (22nd of May) for \"Thar She Blows!\".

Tidal currents of delayed guitar carry the listener across an ocean of reverb, cast adrift beneath a brooding sky. Each track hands an elusive secret to the next, hinted at but never revealed.From the sad, sparse introductory piece ‘Empty Cradle’ to the epic melancholy of closing track ‘The Rattle In Our Throats’, <em>Cradlesongs </em>demonstrates an unmatchable elegance and poise, allowing these sorrowful symphonies to extend far beyond their own discrete edges and breathe new life into a crowded genre. Textural and meticulously composed, the emotive ambience of Sleeping Me is a quiet reminder of all the beauty and personal strife that is experienced in solitude.\n\n<em>“minimalism to the max… most elegant”</em><strong> – Luna Kafe</strong>\n\n<em>Cradlesongs </em>is available now in digital format through the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=38&amp;products_id=107\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> and all good digital retailers.

But any sense of familiarity is joined by an exotic sense of the new. Take, for example, the little melody line from “That Anxious Age”, which is looped and sped in strange ways that also push the song closer to techno or something. These songs have an air of the original versions, but have been given a new face.</em>\n\n<em>“Please Mister” becomes a meditation on space-noise. “Do You Believe in Dinosaurs?” finds its inner groove. “Color Television” is a spooky dub dance party, in a graveyard. These songs are almost unrecognizable in remixed form, but still carry the spirit of the Caribbean’s music. The way the Caribbean gets intoxicated by the mystery of sound is intact. And as Solter overhauls their music, he makes us go back and re-hear what was already there in the original versions. Where did these sounds come from? Not from nowhere, they were there…just hidden, or living different lives.

But when it\'s done well, or extremely well in the case of Seattle\'s Hotels, it\'s a little easier to forgive a lack of originality. The key to the success of When Hearts Go Broke is in its sense of urgency. A dark heart pulsates throughout, and the driving, robotic rhythm section never beats down the eerie atmosphere created. From the cascading drums pounding at the start of \'Hydra\', it\'s all go, go, go. Within the tightly wound compositions are some magical touches, which create shifts in the weather at all the right moments. Space-age synths swell through the instrumental breaks within the dark disco of \'Leilani\'. The moody \'Port Of Saints\' is defined by its angular guitars which bleed into each other in a fiery climax. The pick of the bunch is \'Kite Fight\', which kicks off with a glam slam of handclaps, undulating bass and buzzing retro synths, and then peaks with a gorgeous xylophone outro. When the album does slow down, the change in pace is brilliantly timed. The early-4AD wash of \'Near The Desert, Near The City\' is an ambient stop-gap among the heady rush of the exceptional first half of the album, while \'The Heart That Hears Like A Bat\' is a seedy, lunge track, in the style of Broadcast. Scratching a little deeper, the lyrics are slightly hit and miss, either too self-consciously dark or too mundane to match the drama of the music. Still, this is a minor glitch in what is otherwise a head-turning second album from this Seattle-based group.\nA little bit too serious, a little bit pretentious, but also a little bit awesome.\"</em>\n\n<a href=\"http://beat.com.au/music.php\">Beat</a>','Hotels &quot;Where Hearts Go Broke&quot; - Beat','','publish','closed','open','','hotels-where-hearts-go-broke-beat','','','2009-06-02 12:17:41','2009-06-02 12:17:41','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/hotels-where-hearts-go-broke-beat/',0,'post','',0),(1371,1,'2009-06-01 22:19:39','2009-06-01 22:19:39','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/apricot-rail.jpg\" width=\"180\" align=\"left\" height=\"163\" />Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the debut single by Perth-based multi-instrumental pop quintet <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/apricot-rail/\">Apricot Rail</a>. ‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=108\">Pouring Milk Out The Window</a>’ sees Apricot Rail producing some of the most discretely charming, lush instrumental pop music you’re likely to hear all year. 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. ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’ is an anthem without ever having to be anthemic, a melancholic reverie that never resorts to the emotional ease of sadness.\n\nMost instrumental rock suggests the apocalypse is coming.

The track opens with the expansive open-air sound of Pink Floyd-style organs and spatial guitars before falling into an earthbound shuffle and a taste of a lush, full-band sound for Tangled Star. The song’s gradual build to a towering edifice of glowing overdriven guitar, droning organ and harmony vocals is topped off by an echoed guitar line that sketches glistening arcs in the stratosphere. The single is indicative of <em>That Time</em>’s strengths as a louder, more flowing version of the melodic, evocative spaces of Tangled Star’s twilight pop songs.\n\n<em>That Time</em> is the follow-up to the recently re-issued Tangled Star EP <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=15&amp;products_id=62\"><em>Our Man In Eden Hill</em></a>, which features the sublime pop genius of the EP’s lead single ‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=15&amp;products_id=60\">tosleepingpeople</a>’.\n\n<em>“the same surging, warmly anthemic sound of stellar forebears galore, each sonically different – the Triffids, Died Pretty, perhaps most inevitably the Go-Betweens – but which altogether seem to capture a sense and a style more than might be guessed, something detailed, mournful, and a little crushing even at its strongest” </em>– <strong>AMG on Our Man In Eden Hill</strong>\n\nTangled Star features the inimitable talents of Perth musical luminaries Craig Hallsworth (<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/the-slow-beings/\">The Slow Beings</a>, Outstation, Bamboos), Lorne Clements (The Slow Beings, A Minor Ache, Bing, Chimpy) and Jim Butterworth (Outstation).\n\n<em>That Time</em> is available digitally from the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=15&amp;products_id=109\">HSR Store</a> and all other good third-party digital stores, and on CD through <a href=\"http://n5mailorder.com/release/684/tangled-star-that-time-ep\" target=\"_blank\">n5Mailorder</a>.

Named after famed French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, the cinemaphonic quintet have been recreating the atmosphere of murky movie theatres and grainy projections since 1999. Soundcheck For A Missing Movie, their latest LP, finds the band looking for a perfect spaghetti western/Mafia tale to score and instead writing an engrossing collection of elegiac etudes with enough potential to transcend the cinemascope. Opening epic A Dusty Book, City Of Lights gradually unveils all its sweeping-string/stinging-guitar glory over the course of ten minutes – with nary a dull moment between them; Black is as sinister as any Sicilian scene in The Godfather trilogy and the single Hot Afternoon In The Bulls’ Square is all corrida drumbeats and menacing brass drones. The sole vocals-dominated number on the album, the languid Slow Compensation is the calm after Playing With Planes’ eleven-minute crescendo storm. Ending with the post-rock blast of Missing Movie, the record doesn’t so much evoke maestro Morricone’s immortal pieces as creates its own imaginary city of hot sun and high drama, proving along the way there’s more to Sicily than la cosa nostra.\"</em>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.ravemagazine.com.au/content/view/15573/181/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Rave Magazine</strong></a>','HC-B &quot;Soundcheck for a Missing Movie&quot; - Rave Magazine','','publish','closed','open','','hc-b-soundcheck-for-a-missing-movie-rave-magazine','','','2009-06-14 22:46:09','2009-06-14 22:46:09','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/hc-b-soundcheck-for-a-missing-movie-rave-magazine/',0,'post','',0),(1395,1,'2009-06-15 00:07:51','2009-06-15 00:07:51','<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mmny.jpg\" title=\"Make Music New York\"><img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mmny.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Make Music New York\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" /></a>If you live anywhere near New York then make sure to get your music hungry asses along the  block party on the 21st of June.

The results have the confessional tone of background music, but the energetic bite of productions that demand the foreground. Sunny Kim sings breezy and cool in the manner of Astrud Gilberto, and the instrumental backings have the antsy trance ambience of the Feelies or Luna.

How could we honestly resist, another case of a band seemingly so far escaping the affectionate gaze of our usually slightly off tuned radar - until now that is. Led from the fore by a certain Craig Hallsworth, Tangled Star have been something of a much admired fixture on the Australian indie underground for a few years now releasing in that time a self titled debut full length and several EP’s and singles the most recent being this demurring 4 track set entitled ’that time’. blessed with an acute ability to have you all at once marvelling aglow in subdued awe at the spectacle of their delicately calibrated caress like airy drift pop while simultaneously drawing you low amid the affecting undertow of bruised hurt, ‘Pictures of Lefty’ is particularly cast as such, an absorbing and yearning beauty dimpled with porch dreamt reflective sea faring opines and that self same cosy toed bitter sweet melancholia of wallowing crestfallen country tweaked tides that at one time a few years ago appeared to be the sole trademark sound of both Pavement and Garlic. Similarly affected is the woody and mellow ’seabirdtown’ with its welcoming opening ambit a simply plaintive ‘fuck’ soon given way to something that ripples, radiates and blossoms amid a dressage of shimmering keys and softly burnt riff cascades which had us much in mind of Hefner shimmying with the Clientele at times. ’I had something good in my life and didn’t want to lose it’ should prove particular interest to admirers of the criminally underappreciated Kelman with its 60’s sourced hollowed soul pop drive and distant nods to early career Go Betweens though all said for us best moment of the set is the parting title cut ’that time’. a gorgeously bespoke slice of numbing classicism brought on by the souring serenade of an introspectively cast key braid, all at once mellow and elegant and of course surrendering and teasingly tearful.

But from their online musical collaboration comes Down Review, melding their unique sensibilities to create a delicious hybrid - warm, human electronica for alienating times.\n\nDown Review’s initial collaboration was featured on Near the Parenthesis’ album <em>Of Soft Construction</em> (<a href=\"http://n5md.com/\" target=\"_blank\">n5MD</a>, 2007). Their work on the track ‘Sitting in a Room’ was clearly a departure from the typical NTP aesthetic, situating Medard’s drum-programming wizardry and signature basslines beneath Arndt’s more ethereal creations.

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.\n\nTheir debut album features the wonderfully received single ‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=108\">Pouring Milk Out The Window</a>’, 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 <em>Spunk Singles Club</em> 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.\n\n<em>“this shyly retiring gem is predisposed to a seductive spectral / ethereal head bowed beauty much reminiscent of the Grails in more tender moments.”</em> <strong>– Losing Today on ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’</strong>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=111\"><img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/galleries/Apricot_Rail/lazy-k-thumbs/Apricot_Rail_Live_1_-_Photo_by_Tom_Cramond.jpg\" width=\"150\" align=\"right\" height=\"100\" />Apricot Rail’s self-titled debut</a> hits the streets on the 4th of July, released through Hidden Shoal Recordings.

Crisp programmed drums, warm synths and surging bass weave a mesmeric path through a mist of skittering textures and falling light particles. It’s the kind of glowing electronica that could loop endlessly, such is the allure of its ebullient, cyclical melodies.\n\nAcclaimed electronic producers Medard Fischer (Arc Lab) and Tim Arndt (Near The Parenthesis) have never been in the same room nor even spoken. They ‘met’ online for the first time through their debut label, Toronto-based MMBP, and developed immediate admiration for each other’s work.  Both artists have since released pivotal albums on the influential label <a href=\"http://www.n5md.com\" target=\"_blank\">n5MD</a>. From their online musical collaboration comes Down Review, melding their unique sensibilities to create a delicious hybrid – warm, human electronica for alienating times.\n\n‘Anything Is Everything’ is available for <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=41&amp;products_id=112\">free download</a> from the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> until the release of Down Review’s debut EP <em>From Here, For Anyone</em> on 11th August.\n\nRead a full press release <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_-_Down_Review_Single.pdf\">here</a>.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Media/HSR_Radio/down_review/from_here_for_anyone/Anything_is_Everything.mp3\">Down Review - Anything is Everything</a>  <em>Down Review - Anything is Everything </em>','Down Review Debut Single Released','','publish','closed','open','','down-review-debut-single-released','','','2016-02-03 13:57:08','2016-02-03 05:57:08','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/down-review-debut-single-released/',0,'post','',0),(1439,1,'2009-07-13 03:04:03','2009-07-13 03:04:03','<img src=\"http://www.breakthruradio.com/_images/dj/1173918341DJMojoPlayer.jpg\" width=\"99\" align=\"right\" height=\"61\" />It\'s a feast of Italian instrumental rock on DJ Mojo\'s Maximum Music this week.

Hypnotic and mesmerising ‘crawl’ initially takes its cue from Procol Harum’s ‘whiter shade of pale’ as it sublimely carves out a numbing chamber / church like reverence, all the time slowly but surely shifting in depth and texture with the slow drip introduction of the various 12 string and Hammond accompaniments whilst slowly beginning to consume the listening space as it blossoms and terra-forms through a myriad of mood enhancing manoeuvres as it accelerates through a mind blowing odyssey of lysergic tipped star crested sound-scapes that at various points see it embroidering upon its rich tapestry elements of psyche, jazz and progressive space rock, in short it’s a six minute trip to enlightenment.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.losingtoday.com/tales.php?id=266\" target=\"_blank\">Losing Today</a>','Tarcutta &#039;You Gotta Crawl Before You Walk Before You Waltz&#039; - Losing Today','','publish','closed','open','','tarcutta-you-gotta-crawl-before-you-walk-before-you-waltz-losing-today','','','2009-07-17 00:58:20','2009-07-17 00:58:20','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/tarcutta-you-gotta-crawl-before-you-walk-before-you-waltz-losing-today/',0,'post','',0),(1458,1,'2009-07-17 01:02:38','2009-07-17 01:02:38','<img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/Tarcutta_waltz.jpg\" align=\"right\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" />We somehow missed this awesome review of Tarcutta\'s mesmerising debut single \'You Gotta Crawl Before You Walk Before You Waltz\' in the always excellent <a href=\"http://losingtoday.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Losing Today</a> zine.

What genre-defining bands like Explosions In The Sky take eight or nine minutes to do Apricot Rail are capable of in three and a half. This impeccable sense for the immediacy of great pop structures is arguably one of their biggest assets, and is displayed masterfully on their debut album. It\'s a great formula, and they\'ve nailed it here on more than one occasion, whilst maintaining an eclectic approach to texture and timbre.\n\n\'If You Can\'t Join Them, Beat Them\' morphs from delicate traipse to amiable jaunt to full-on ecstatic rush, in just over four minutes, and on \'Trout Fishing In Australia\' the band\'s penchant for melodic overload is complemented by skittering processed beats and Múm-like strings and horns. There\'s an overwhelming sense of hope and lightness to their compositions,  and thanks to the brevity of most of the tracks here, they carry the listener on a dreamy flight of fancy that flits gently from one airy mood to another. Only on the eight-plus minute \'Wadnama\' do the band sink their teeth into more predictably epic here of dynamics. The flute-tastic \'Pouring Milk Out The Window\' is like an optimistic summer afternoon and \'Halfway House\' adds burbling electronics to the band\'s signature sound of guitar harmonics and urgent rhythms.\n\nThe album\'s (and arguably the band\'s) crowning achievement has to be \'The Parachute Failure\'- it\'s spine-tinglingly anthemic and really leaps out at the listener. It so beautifully epitomises the band\'s key strengths, as evidenced throughout this remarkable debut - powerful and emotive melodies that engage through the push and pull of delicate restraint and blissful abandon  In a word: lovely.\n\nAdam Trainer, Drum Media (Perth)','Apricot Rail - Drum Media (CD of the Week)','','publish','closed','open','','apricot-rail-drum-media-cd-of-the-week','','','2009-07-20 02:07:11','2009-07-20 02:07:11','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/apricot-rail-drum-media-cd-of-the-week/',0,'post','',0),(1462,1,'2009-07-22 13:16:41','2009-07-22 13:16:41','Ok so that title is a little misleading but it is one fifth true (Jack Quirk is back in Glasgow for a wee while).

Elisa has been involved in a number of musical projects over the years, including fusion quartet Prodotti Speciali and Short’s Monday Night Jazz Orchestra. She has also participated in Berklee Jazz clinics, where she received special mention as an alto sax player.\n\nThough digitally crafted, Elisa Luu’s music is warm, inviting and uniquely human, betraying a vulnerability and sensitivity that is rarely found in the male-dominated sphere of electronica. With its sighing, lilting qualities, Elisa Luu’s music reawakens a sense of childlike wonder and adventure with every sprawling and sparkling track.\n\nIn 2007 Elisa began to compose electronic music using flute, saxophone and guitar as sound sources. In 2008, UK net label <a href=\"http://www.phantomchannel.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">Phantom Channel</a> released her debut EP <em>Floating Sounds</em>, which garnered glowing online reviews.\n\n<em>“There is a balance of songness and sound, of an experimentalist’s emphasis on texture and a composer’s on tone, that makes Elisa Luu’s Floating Sounds (Phantom Channel) one of the most immediately awarding and arresting netlabel releases of the year thus far.”</em><strong>– Disquiet on <em>Floating Sounds</em></strong>\n\n<em>“On the evidence of this EP, Elisa Luu is an astonishingly talented artist, crafting immersive and emotive soundfields with ease.

Right from the scene-setting intro of opener ‘Mount Bartle Frere’ to the raw, explosive power of finale ‘Flag Hags Must Die’, the band render their songs with astonishing detail and clarity, cramming more melodic ideas into each song than most instrumental bands manage in whole albums. Single ‘You Gotta Crawl…’ unfolds into being with a luminous pattern on 12-string electric guitar, the low hum of Hammond organ, and a delicious brushed drum figure. Delicate Hammond organ runs are gradually stirred in before the song changes direction and builds into an eddying spiral of tumbling melody. Elsewhere, ‘Liberace Fibonacci’ thrills with its awesome organ riff, before taking flight through a series of dizzying twists and turns. And luminous centerpiece ‘No Light No Shade’ features a spine-tingling guest vocal from Jess Cornelius (Teeth &amp; Tongue) and a wonderfully bluesy coda.\n\n<em>“...it blossoms and terra-forms through a myriad of mood enhancing manoeuvres as it accelerates through a mind blowing odyssey of lysergic tipped star crested sound-scapes that at various points see it embroidering upon its rich tapestry elements of psyche, jazz and progressive space rock, in short it’s a six minute trip to enlightenment.” </em><strong>– Losing Today on Single ‘You Gotta Crawl…’</strong>\n\n<em>Tarcutta </em>will be launched and officially released on CD at Melbourne’s East Brunswick Club on July 23rd.

Its humid atmosphere of synths and glistening textures drifts effortlessly before being carried aloft by crisp drum breaks. After its five-minute run time, the listener is gently returned to terra firma, conscious of having visited somewhere unique and beautiful.\n\nThough digitally crafted, Elisa Luu’s music is warm, inviting and uniquely human, betraying a vulnerability and sensitivity that is rarely found in the male-dominated sphere of electronica. With its sighing, lilting qualities, Elisa Luu’s music reawakens a sense of childlike wonder and adventure with every sprawling and sparkling track.\n\nElisa Luu (Elisabetta Luciani) is a Rome-based composer, who began her musical career as a jazz/fusion saxophone player. Elisa has been involved in a number of musical projects over the years, including fusion quartet Prodotti Speciali and Short’s Monday Night Jazz Orchestra. She has also participated in Berklee Jazz clinics, where she received special mention as an alto sax player. In 2007 Elisa began to compose electronic music using flute, saxophone and guitar as sound sources. In 2008, UK net label <a href=\"http://www.phantomchannel.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">Phantom Channel</a> released her debut EP <em>Floating Sounds</em>, which garnered glowing online reviews.\n\n<em>“There is a balance of songness and sound, of an experimentalist’s emphasis on texture and a composer’s on tone, that makes Elisa Luu’s Floating Sounds (Phantom Channel) one of the most immediately awarding and arresting netlabel releases of the year thus far.”</em><strong><em> </em>– Disquiet on Floating Sounds</strong>\n\n‘The Garden’ is available for <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=42&amp;products_id=114\">free download</a> from the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> until the release of Elisa Luu’s debut album <em>Chromatic Sigh</em> on 10th September.

The EP kicks off with the single ‘Anything Is Everything’, a post-midnight drive through a flaking neon city. Crisp programmed drums, warm synths and surging bass weave through a mist of skittering textures and falling light particles. Then, there’s the urgent phasing science of ‘Archive’, the outer planetery dub of  ‘Always Enough’, and the creeping, insistent epic ‘All In’. It’s the kind of glowing electronica that could loop endlessly, such is the allure of its ebullient, cyclical melodies.\n\n<em>“it’s gorgeous, in fact frankly its sublime… A beautifully snoozing dream woven treasure… all crunchy beats, heart caressing tenderised electronic symphonic swathes… A gem”</em> <strong>– Losing Today on single ‘Anything is Everything’</strong>\n\nAcclaimed electronic producers Medard Fischer (Arc Lab) and Tim Arndt (Near The Parenthesis) have never been in the same room nor even spoken. They ‘met’ online for the first time through their debut label, Toronto-based MMBP, and developed immediate admiration for each other’s work. From their online musical collaboration comes Down Review, melding their unique sensibilities to create a delicious hybrid – warm, human electronica for alienating times.\n\n<em>From Here, For Anyone</em> is available now through Hidden Shoal Recordings. The EP is distributed in the US and Europe via <a href=\"http://n5mailorder.com/hiddenshoal\" target=\"_blank\">n5Mailorder</a> and in Australia through Hidden Shoal Distribution. The album is also available now digitally through the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> and all good third-party digital music stores (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, LaLa etc).

Rather, snippets and reinterpretations of it show up throughout the song, giving it a nicely unified, decidedly song-like feel without resorting to a verse-chorus-verse structure...  their debut does arguably what a debut should be doing: it samples a bit of everything from the sonic palette the band has available. Above all, the self-titled demonstrates a wicked potential that could become something great with a tighter focus that Tarcutta is undoubtedly capable of.\"</span>\n\n<a href=\"http://thesilentballet.com/dnn/Home/tabid/36/ctl/Details/mid/384/ItemID/2604/Default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">The Silent Ballet </a>','Tarcutta &quot;Tarcutta&quot; - The Silent Ballet','','publish','closed','open','','tarcutta-tarcutta-the-silent-ballet','','','2009-08-12 09:47:18','2009-08-12 09:47:18','',0,'http://music.hiddenshoal.com/archive/tarcutta-tarcutta-the-silent-ballet/',0,'post','',0),(1498,1,'2009-08-16 08:31:38','2009-08-16 08:31:38','<a href=\"http://www.bumbershoot.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/hotels.jpg\" width=\"170\" align=\"left\" height=\"114\" />Bumbershoot</a> catches up with <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/hotels/\">Hotels</a> at the Capitol Hill Block Party.
