Each song deploys a modest array of instruments and textures, giving them ample space to breathe and glow.

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\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\n<p><strong> The Music<br /> </strong>“Up Down Up” is a slab of layered, lush melancholic pop by Australian pop maestro Chris Mason. 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.</p>\r\n<p>From 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.</p>\r\n<p>The 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.</p>\r\n<p>In 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.</p>\r\n<p>The 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.</p>\r\n<p><strong> The Man<br /> </strong>It was inevitable, really. From a family of musicians (father, brother, uncountable sisters) …another musician. Treading the path most trodden, taking the easy decision into a life of creative despair and financial ruin. No, really…</p>\r\n<p>Chris Mason, solo artist, locked in the studio for quite some time but finally emerging with an album that, to his perfectionist mind, was good enough for other people to hear. Writing, arrangements, production, and instrumentation all sweated over. This album is the result of an auteur’s touch.</p>\r\n<p>With an ep currently in production and a string of live shows set for 2007, the story continues and begins to look more interesting with each passing episode.</p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<br />\r\n<h2>Chris Mason Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=chris-mason-reviews content=yes pagination=yes title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/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-Chris_Mason_Restless_Album_Release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Restless Album Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_9th_May.pdf\">Up Down Up Album Release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery columns=\"2\" ids=\"8706,8707\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p>Sorry, no videos yet.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Chris Mason\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

From these initial explorations, the luscious three-dimensional soundworld of Cheekbone began to take shape. In 2002, Kouichi began using a laptop, stirring in a whole host of sounds and influences, ranging from early favourites such as Neu, Cluster and Tangerine Dream, to noisemakers Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, and ambient pioneer Brian Eno.</p><p>Cheekbone’s agile, amorphous brand of ambient electronica is constantly transforming, evoking the growth of nature and the decay of light across space, agitated by human activity and the background chatter and clang of everyday life. But rather than being inspired by real world events, this music expresses an aching sense of nostalgic melancholy, pining for something that only exists as memory and imagination.</p><p>Kuoichi’s experimentation with melody and texture to create luminous new soundscapes evokes seminal British electronic acts such as Aphex Twin, Plaid and Boards of Canada whilst carving his own unique space. He has recently remixed a track by Italian band Port-Royal, and improvises live with laptop and synthesizer in his hometown of Nara, Japan.</p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Cheekbone Reviews</h2>[catlist name=cheekbone-reviews content=yes pagination=yes title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Cheekbone_EP_Release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Yesterday EP Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel_and_Cheekbone_Signings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Cheekbone Signing</a>\n\n&nbsp;[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"8723,8724,8725\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p> No videos yet.</p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Cheekbone\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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>Inspired by psychedelic German rock, Kouichi Moriuchi began making music in the mid-’90s using guitar, organ, theremin and tapes. From these initial explorations, the luscious three-dimensional soundworld of Cheekbone began to take shape.

But rather than being inspired by real world events, this music expresses an aching sense of nostalgic melancholy, pining for something that only exists as memory and imagination.</p><p>Kuoichi’s experimentation with melody and texture to create luminous new soundscapes evokes seminal British electronic acts such as Aphex Twin, Plaid and Boards of Canada whilst carving his own unique space.

From these initial explorations, the luscious three-dimensional soundworld of Cheekbone began to take shape. In 2002, Kouichi began using a laptop, stirring in a whole host of sounds and influences, ranging from early favourites such as Neu, Cluster and Tangerine Dream, to noisemakers Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, and ambient pioneer Brian Eno.</p><p>Cheekbone’s agile, amorphous brand of ambient electronica is constantly transforming, evoking the growth of nature and the decay of light across space, agitated by human activity and the background chatter and clang of everyday life. But rather than being inspired by real world events, this music expresses an aching sense of nostalgic melancholy, pining for something that only exists as memory and imagination.</p><p>Kuoichi’s experimentation with melody and texture to create luminous new soundscapes evokes seminal British electronic acts such as Aphex Twin, Plaid and Boards of Canada whilst carving his own unique space.

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.</p>\r\n<p>From 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.</p>\r\n<p>The 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.</p>\r\n<p>In 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.</p>\r\n<p>The 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.</p>\r\n<p><strong> The Man<br /> </strong>It was inevitable, really. From a family of musicians (father, brother, uncountable sisters) …another musician. Treading the path most trodden, taking the easy decision into a life of creative despair and financial ruin. No, really…</p>\r\n<p>Chris Mason, solo artist, locked in the studio for quite some time but finally emerging with an album that, to his perfectionist mind, was good enough for other people to hear. Writing, arrangements, production, and instrumentation all sweated over. This album is the result of an auteur’s touch.</p>\r\n<p>With an ep currently in production and a string of live shows set for 2007, the story continues and begins to look more interesting with each passing episode.</p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<br />\r\n<h2>Chris Mason Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=chris-mason-reviews content=yes pagination=yes title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/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-Chris_Mason_Restless_Album_Release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Restless Album Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_9th_May.pdf\">Up Down Up Album Release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery columns=\"2\" ids=\"8706,8707\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p>Sorry, no videos yet.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Chris Mason\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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><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.

With opening track and lead single ‘National Runner’, [The] Caseworker have an instant pop classic on their hands.

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).

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><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. 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>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3>[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.

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><p>Between 2007 and 2009 [The] Caseworker went on accidental hiatus as the band members moved around the world.

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\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>\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.

Each song deploys a modest array of instruments and textures, giving them ample space to breathe and glow.

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>Inspired by psychedelic German rock, Kouichi Moriuchi began making music in the mid-’90s using guitar, organ, theremin and tapes. From these initial explorations, the luscious three-dimensional soundworld of Cheekbone began to take shape.

But rather than being inspired by real world events, this music expresses an aching sense of nostalgic melancholy, pining for something that only exists as memory and imagination.</p><p>Kuoichi’s experimentation with melody and texture to create luminous new soundscapes evokes seminal British electronic acts such as Aphex Twin, Plaid and Boards of Canada whilst carving his own unique space. He has recently remixed a track by Italian band Port-Royal, and improvises live with laptop and synthesizer in his hometown of Nara, Japan.</p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Cheekbone Reviews</h2>[catlist name=cheekbone-reviews content=yes pagination=yes title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Cheekbone_EP_Release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Yesterday EP Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel_and_Cheekbone_Signings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Cheekbone Signing</a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"8723,8724,8725\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p> No videos yet.</p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Cheekbone\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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>Inspired by psychedelic German rock, Kouichi Moriuchi began making music in the mid-’90s using guitar, organ, theremin and tapes. From these initial explorations, the luscious three-dimensional soundworld of Cheekbone began to take shape. In 2002, Kouichi began using a laptop, stirring in a whole host of sounds and influences, ranging from early favourites such as Neu, Cluster and Tangerine Dream, to noisemakers Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, and ambient pioneer Brian Eno.</p><p>Cheekbone’s agile, amorphous brand of ambient electronica is constantly transforming, evoking the growth of nature and the decay of light across space, agitated by human activity and the background chatter and clang of everyday life. But rather than being inspired by real world events, this music expresses an aching sense of nostalgic melancholy, pining for something that only exists as memory and imagination.</p><p>Kuoichi’s experimentation with melody and texture to create luminous new soundscapes evokes seminal British electronic acts such as Aphex Twin, Plaid and Boards of Canada whilst carving his own unique space. He has recently remixed a track by Italian band Port-Royal, and improvises live with laptop and synthesizer in his hometown of Nara, Japan.</p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Cheekbone Reviews</h2>[catlist name=cheekbone-reviews content=yes pagination=yes title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Cheekbone_EP_Release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Yesterday EP Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Jumpel_and_Cheekbone_Signings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Cheekbone Signing</a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"8723,8724,8725\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p> No videos yet.</p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Cheekbone\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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><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.

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>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3>[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><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><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"] \r\n<h2>[The] Caseworker Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=the-caseworker-reviews content=yes pagination=yes title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><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><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><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Dependence_Day.pdf\">‘Dependence Day’ Single Release</a></p><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><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-The_Caseworker-Sea_Years.pdf\">‘Sea Years’ Single Release</a></p><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><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\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"8637,8636,8635,8638,8639\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/iC-Sm-5450Q?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/y1RZ3ixuVLw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3>[The] Caseworker\'s 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>\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. 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>\r\n<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>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Apricot Rail Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=apricot-rail-reviews content=yes pagination=yes title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/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-Apricot_Rail-Dore_Strauch.pdf\">‘Dore Strauch’ Single + Video Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail_Quarrels.pdf\"><em>Quarrels</em> Album Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail-Surry_Hills_Single.pdf\">‘Surry Hills’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n<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>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail_Album.pdf\">Apricot Rail Self-Titled Debut Album </a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Apricot_Rail_Signing.pdf\">Apricot Rail ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’ Single </a></p>\r\n<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\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery columns=\"4\" link=\"file\" ids=\"8576,8584,8585,8586,8587,8588,8589,8590,8591\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/hBYJ6sdcvLo?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/VeTN3QNo2Ck?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/puWnzmHCPxA?rel=0\" width=\"420\" 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>Apricot Rail\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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\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>\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.

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\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>\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\"]<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<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\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery ids=\"8222,8221,8220,8219\"]\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\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\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Antonymes music is  available for licensing (master & 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>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n\r\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.

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=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n\r\n<a title=\"Back to Top\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/antonymes\"><strong>Back</strong></a>\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-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[/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.

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>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes numberposts=15 pagination=yes instance=2 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\"]<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.

Tighter structures and newly succinct arrangements form the fabric throughout which the City of Satellites weave their signature glacial atmospherics, shimmery guitars, celestial vocals and potent rhythms.\r\n\r\nWith a sound and presence that has been described as ethereal and haunting, City of Satellites has embarked on a wide-eyed cosmic ride with <em>The Momentary Mask</em>. New realms of stratospheric highs and wistful star-gazing are tempered by deeply introspective moments reminiscent of the solitary wonder of an urban sprawl glimmering in the night.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Remixed</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 380px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1311753959/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://music.cityofsatellites.com/album/remixed\">Remixed by City of Satellites</a></iframe>\r\nOctober 2011\r\n<div></div>\r\n<em>Remixed</em> sees tracks from City Of Satellites’ debut EP <em>The Spook</em> and album <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> receive the remix treatment from Manual, Syntaks, Tim Koch, Slow Dancing Society, Jatun, Tin Manzano and M-13. Tin Manzano’s remix of the title track from <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> is a gorgeously seductive instrumental, where restraint and space are as alluring as the sounds blooming across the stereo field. Syntaks bring their trademark wavering dream-gaze to ‘Victor! Burn City Lights’, resulting in a tantalising, sticky web of melody and beats. M-13’s take on ‘Stranger Than Fiction’ bitcrushes the original to produce an incredibly addictive slice of dreamy electroclash.\r\n\r\nSlow Dancing Society’s remix of ‘Moon in the Sea’ (from <em>The Spook</em> EP) is as epic and mesmerising as anyone familiar with the SDS catalogue would expect. Tim Koch’s restructuring of ‘BMX’ is masterful, rebuilt from the inside out into stunning avant-pop architecture. Jatun renders ‘Control’ as a fuzzed-out shoegaze surge, before Manual (Jonas Munk) closes the album with his remix of ‘Skeletons’, blurry and sensuous as a half-remembered dream.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Machine Is My Animal</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2915036973/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://music.cityofsatellites.com/album/machine-is-my-animal\">Machine Is My Animal by City of Satellites</a></iframe>\r\nNovember 2009\r\n<div></div>\r\nOn <em>Machine Is My Animal</em>, City of Satellites deliver on the exceptional promise of their debut EP <em>The Spook</em> – and then some. This pristine album synthesizes ’80s pop aesthetics with ’00s production values to create a truly monumental sound. From the Eastern-influenced synth lines of superb opener ‘BMX’ to the crystalline drift of closer ‘Sky Rider’, Machine Is My Animal carries the listener through a glistening science fiction future, as viewed from a wistful child’s window.\r\n\r\nOn single ‘Stranger Than Fiction’, swirling synth sounds, Thomas Diakomichalis’ propulsive drumming and Jarrod Manuel’s pure vocal tones glide beautifully. Its aching melodies to the fore, the song taking heartrending turns before dissolving into the ether. ‘Skeletons’ glides and weaves like a hovercar over the course of seven levitating minutes, before the epic title track stomps across a dystopian future like a Transformer with a conscience, its robot heart bleeding as its surveys the devastation it has wrought. This balance between cold synthesized tones and a warm emotional heart creates a delicious balance throughout.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>The Spook</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 241px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=895332589/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://music.cityofsatellites.com/album/the-spook\">The Spook by City of Satellites</a></iframe>\r\nNovember 2008\r\n<div></div>\r\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.\r\n\r\nThe full length 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 EP to a close. Like all the best atmospheric music, the whole EP breathes and throbs with life, ebbing and flowing beautifully throughout its near-25-minute running time.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nCity of Satellites is a dream pop/shoegaze trio whose members are divided geographically between Australia and the USA.

Tighter structures and newly succinct arrangements form the fabric throughout which the City of Satellites weave their signature glacial atmospherics, shimmery guitars, celestial vocals and potent rhythms.\r\n\r\nWith a sound and presence that has been described as ethereal and haunting, City of Satellites has embarked on a wide-eyed cosmic ride with <em>The Momentary Mask</em>.

Tin Manzano’s remix of the title track from <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> is a gorgeously seductive instrumental, where restraint and space are as alluring as the sounds blooming across the stereo field. Syntaks bring their trademark wavering dream-gaze to ‘Victor! Burn City Lights’, resulting in a tantalising, sticky web of melody and beats. M-13’s take on ‘Stranger Than Fiction’ bitcrushes the original to produce an incredibly addictive slice of dreamy electroclash.\r\n\r\nSlow Dancing Society’s remix of ‘Moon in the Sea’ (from <em>The Spook</em> EP) is as epic and mesmerising as anyone familiar with the SDS catalogue would expect. Tim Koch’s restructuring of ‘BMX’ is masterful, rebuilt from the inside out into stunning avant-pop architecture. Jatun renders ‘Control’ as a fuzzed-out shoegaze surge, before Manual (Jonas Munk) closes the album with his remix of ‘Skeletons’, blurry and sensuous as a half-remembered dream.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Machine Is My Animal</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2915036973/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://music.cityofsatellites.com/album/machine-is-my-animal\">Machine Is My Animal by City of Satellites</a></iframe>\r\nNovember 2009\r\n<div></div>\r\nOn <em>Machine Is My Animal</em>, City of Satellites deliver on the exceptional promise of their debut EP <em>The Spook</em> – and then some. This pristine album synthesizes ’80s pop aesthetics with ’00s production values to create a truly monumental sound. From the Eastern-influenced synth lines of superb opener ‘BMX’ to the crystalline drift of closer ‘Sky Rider’, Machine Is My Animal carries the listener through a glistening science fiction future, as viewed from a wistful child’s window.\r\n\r\nOn single ‘Stranger Than Fiction’, swirling synth sounds, Thomas Diakomichalis’ propulsive drumming and Jarrod Manuel’s pure vocal tones glide beautifully. Its aching melodies to the fore, the song taking heartrending turns before dissolving into the ether. ‘Skeletons’ glides and weaves like a hovercar over the course of seven levitating minutes, before the epic title track stomps across a dystopian future like a Transformer with a conscience, its robot heart bleeding as its surveys the devastation it has wrought. This balance between cold synthesized tones and a warm emotional heart creates a delicious balance throughout.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>The Spook</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 241px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=895332589/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://music.cityofsatellites.com/album/the-spook\">The Spook by City of Satellites</a></iframe>\r\nNovember 2008\r\n<div></div>\r\nAcross its three expansive tracks, <em>The Spook</em> covers more musical and emotional ground than most full-length albums.

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 EP to a close.

Jarrod Manuel (vocals, guitars, synthesizers) is based in Adelaide, Australia; Thomas Diakomichalis (drums, synthesizers and production) is based in New York City, USA; Drew Sullivan (guitars, synthesizers and production) is based in Spokane, USA.\n\nCity of Satellites’ hook-laden, cinematically-inspired music showcases an effortless and heavily seductive blend of acoustic, electronic and human sounds; shimmering guitars and vaporous synthesizer tapestries creep in like the darkness across a desolate metropolis; iceladen drums snap and pulse, often breaking songs apart only to rebuild them like some kind of experimental toy robot. All the while, syrupy sweet, abstract vocal passages are whispered to the listener, intoxicating melodies behaving like bridges throughout a beautiful cosmic playground.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\n<h3>News</h3>\n[catlist name=city-of-satellites content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\n[catlist name=city-of-satellites-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\n&nbsp;\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/The_Momentary_Mask_Press_Release.pdf\">The Momentary Mask EP Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-City_of_Satellites-MIMA_Remix.pdf\">‘Machine Is My Animal (Tin Manzano Remix)’ Single and Music Video</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-City_of_Satellites-BMX_Single_and_Music_Video.pdf\">‘BMX’ Single and Music Video Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-City_of_Satellites-Machine_is_My_Animal_CD_Release.pdf\"><em>Machine Is My Animal</em> Album Official CD Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../press/HSR_Press_Release-City_of_Satellites-Machine_Is_My_Animal_Pre-Release.pdf\"><em>Machine Is My Animal</em> Album Digital Pre-Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-City_of_Satellites-Stranger_Than_Fiction_Single.pdf\">‘Stranger Than Fiction’ Single Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-City_Of_Satellites_EP.pdf\"><em>The Spook</em> EP Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-City_Of_Satellites_Single.pdf\">‘Moon In The Sea’ single Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-City_Of_Satellites_Signing.pdf\">City Of Satellites Sign to Hidden Shoal Recordings</a>\n\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\n&nbsp;\n\n[gallery ids=\"8912,8913,8914,8915,8916,8917,8918\"]\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/Vb-VlJHt4M0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/3W7HULu_CCc?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/z_oe4p73fAA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\nCity of Satellite\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; 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\"]\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=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-news 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=antonymes-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-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society – <em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long</em> </a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">EP </a> <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> <a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">Antonymes 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=\"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.

Tighter structures and newly succinct arrangements form the fabric throughout which the City of Satellites weave their signature glacial atmospherics, shimmery guitars, celestial vocals and potent rhythms.</p><p>With a sound and presence that has been described as ethereal and haunting, City of Satellites has embarked on a wide-eyed cosmic ride with <em>The Momentary Mask</em>. New realms of stratospheric highs and wistful star-gazing are tempered by deeply introspective moments reminiscent of the solitary wonder of an urban sprawl glimmering in the night.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>Remixed</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 440px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1311753959/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://music.cityofsatellites.com/album/remixed\">Remixed by City of Satellites</a></iframe></p><div> </div><p><em>Remixed</em> sees tracks from City Of Satellites’ debut EP <em>The Spook</em> and album <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> receive the remix treatment from Manual, Syntaks, Tim Koch, Slow Dancing Society, Jatun, Tin Manzano and M-13. Tin Manzano’s remix of the title track from <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> is a gorgeously seductive instrumental, where restraint and space are as alluring as the sounds blooming across the stereo field. Syntaks bring their trademark wavering dream-gaze to ‘Victor! Burn City Lights’, resulting in a tantalising, sticky web of melody and beats. M-13’s take on ‘Stranger Than Fiction’ bitcrushes the original to produce an incredibly addictive slice of dreamy electroclash.</p><p>Slow Dancing Society’s remix of ‘Moon in the Sea’ (from <em>The Spook</em> EP) is as epic and mesmerising as anyone familiar with the SDS catalogue would expect. Tim Koch’s restructuring of ‘BMX’ is masterful, rebuilt from the inside out into stunning avant-pop architecture. Jatun renders ‘Control’ as a fuzzed-out shoegaze surge, before Manual (Jonas Munk) closes the album with his remix of ‘Skeletons’, blurry and sensuous as a half-remembered dream.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>Machine Is My Animal</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2915036973/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://music.cityofsatellites.com/album/machine-is-my-animal\">Machine Is My Animal by City of Satellites</a></iframe></p><div> </div><p>On <em>Machine Is My Animal</em>, City of Satellites deliver on the exceptional promise of their debut EP <em>The Spook</em> – and then some. This pristine album synthesizes ’80s pop aesthetics with ’00s production values to create a truly monumental sound.

Tighter structures and newly succinct arrangements form the fabric throughout which the City of Satellites weave their signature glacial atmospherics, shimmery guitars, celestial vocals and potent rhythms.</p><p>With a sound and presence that has been described as ethereal and haunting, City of Satellites has embarked on a wide-eyed cosmic ride with <em>The Momentary Mask</em>.

Tin Manzano’s remix of the title track from <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> is a gorgeously seductive instrumental, where restraint and space are as alluring as the sounds blooming across the stereo field. Syntaks bring their trademark wavering dream-gaze to ‘Victor! Burn City Lights’, resulting in a tantalising, sticky web of melody and beats. M-13’s take on ‘Stranger Than Fiction’ bitcrushes the original to produce an incredibly addictive slice of dreamy electroclash.</p><p>Slow Dancing Society’s remix of ‘Moon in the Sea’ (from <em>The Spook</em> EP) is as epic and mesmerising as anyone familiar with the SDS catalogue would expect. Tim Koch’s restructuring of ‘BMX’ is masterful, rebuilt from the inside out into stunning avant-pop architecture. Jatun renders ‘Control’ as a fuzzed-out shoegaze surge, before Manual (Jonas Munk) closes the album with his remix of ‘Skeletons’, blurry and sensuous as a half-remembered dream.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>Machine Is My Animal</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2915036973/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://music.cityofsatellites.com/album/machine-is-my-animal\">Machine Is My Animal by City of Satellites</a></iframe></p><div> </div><p>On <em>Machine Is My Animal</em>, City of Satellites deliver on the exceptional promise of their debut EP <em>The Spook</em> – and then some.

Soon after, the band quickly grew, including fellow Burlington residents Hannah Wall (Magogs) on keyboards, Shawn Flanagan (Fire the Cannons and ex-Starlight Conspiracy) on bass, and third guitarist Adam Fuller (The Year’s Best). Thus, The Hero Cycle’s unique sound has been shaped by the eclectic mix of energy brought forth by each individual member.\r\n\r\nThe band’s sound remains solid, despite the unique influences of the many members, and hopes to continue a successful trend of interesting and powerful performances as well as recordings. Bringing years of musical experience to the table, the project acts as a creative haven for everyone involved. The music demands attention.

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.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nThe Hero Cycle started in the Green Mountains of Vermont in 2005, combining the varied talents of drummer John Gorman, synthist Tom Kelly, and guitarists Mike Prall and Frank Smecker (ex-Drowningman and ex-Escapist).

Each song deploys a modest array of instruments and textures, giving them ample space to breathe and glow.

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\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. 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.

At the same time definite and a ghostly impression, Antonymes floats free of fixed points while anxiously staying in sight of genres, movements, scenes, connections, contexts and innovations that have piled up and broken down around it. <strong><a title=\"Facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Antonymes/108567235841143?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8763\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Facebook.png\" alt=\"Facebook\" width=\"26\" height=\"20\" /></a>  <a title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https://twitter.com/Antonymes\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8766\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Twitter.png\" alt=\"Twitter\" width=\"26\" height=\"20\" /></a>  <a title=\"SoundCloud\" href=\"https://soundcloud.com/antonymes\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8764\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/SoundCloud.png\" alt=\"SoundCloud\" width=\"26\" height=\"20\" /></a>  <a title=\"Website\" href=\"http://www.antonymes.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8767\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Website.png\" alt=\"Website\" width=\"26\" height=\"20\" /></a> </strong>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=\"Divider\" color=\"#ffffff\" show_divider=\"off\" /][et_pb_tabs admin_label=\"Artist Tabs\"][et_pb_tab title=\"Discography\"]\r\n<h3>Discography</h3>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>We Don\'t Look Back For Very Long (with Slow Dancing Society)</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 274px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4290771882/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=none/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://antonymes.bandcamp.com/album/we-dont-look-back-for-very-long\">We Don\'t Look Back For Very Long by Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society</a></iframe>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long </em>sees Antonymes reworking a track from each of fellow Hidden Shoal artist Slow Dancing Society’s four albums, casting radiant new light on the stunning originals.

Soon after, the band quickly grew, including fellow Burlington residents Hannah Wall (Magogs) on keyboards, Shawn Flanagan (Fire the Cannons and ex-Starlight Conspiracy) on bass, and third guitarist Adam Fuller (The Year’s Best).

The track sits as a wonderful companion piece to the album, as recognised melodies unfurl, cloaked in new guises.

Antonymes new album <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Licence To Interpret Dreams</span> has been met with universal acclaim since its release in April.

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.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3><p>The Hero Cycle started in the Green Mountains of Vermont in 2005, combining the varied talents of drummer John Gorman, synthist Tom Kelly, and guitarists Mike Prall and Frank Smecker (ex-Drowningman and ex-Escapist).
