<a href="http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/"><img class="alignleft" alt="" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/WYU_MED.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a>We're incredibly excited to announce the release of the brilliant sophomore album from Australian experimental pop outfit <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/perth/" target="_self">perth</a>. On <a href="http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/" target="_self"><em>What's Your Utopia?</em></a> the band manages to meld psychedelic pop, folk-laced electronica and shoegaze into a beautifully cohesive statement.

Single and opening salvo ‘Drank and Kites and Tomorrow’ summons forth glowing brass arrangements, reverb-drenched vocals and skittering breakbeats crafted from found sounds, building into a krautrock jam reminiscent of Neu! and Caribou. The gorgeous ‘Saw Promenade’ reimagines the shimmering vibes of prime Tortoise on an Australian beach, while ‘Greasy Moon’ is an echoing, disorientating, addictive stomp. Finale ‘Viewmaster’ mutates from brittle, spectral space-folk into a heartbreaking robot waltz, before dissolving then regrouping into a delirious droning coda.

The album is available now in digital and limited edition CD formats from the <a href="http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/" target="_self">Hidden Shoal Store</a>. All CD sales come with an immediate download in either FLAC or MP3 format.
