<img class="alignleft wp-image-9295 " src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Umpire_11-300x240.jpg" alt="Umpire" width="235" height="188" />We’re very excited to announce that the stunning debut releases by Perth bands <a title="Mukaizake" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/mukaizake/">Mukaizake</a> and <a title="Umpire" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/umpire/">Umpire</a> – originally released in 2003 and 2009 respectively – have now joined our publishing and licensing catalogue. Umpire's self-titled EP and Mukaizake's <em>Mapping the Static</em> are each such accomplished debuts – and round out both outfits' discographies for Hidden Shoal. Fans of both bands will know of the shared membership, and having all four releases by the two outfits together sets up wonderful trajectories and crossovers between them. These releases are mathy, rocky, languid and melodically rich.

Check out Umpire's debut EP and album <a title="Umpire" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/umpire/">here</a>, and do the same for both Mukaizake albums <a title="Mukaizake" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/mukaizake/">here</a>. The tracks from all four releases are available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared). Please don’t hesitate to <a title="Contact Us" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/contact-us/">contact us</a> with any licensing enquiries.
