Singer’s melancholic piano and   vocal interweave with the heavenly backing vocals of <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/boxharp/\">Boxharp’s</a> Wendy   Allen. The gently interlocking parts create a deliciously lulling   atmosphere for the first half, before the song heightens in intensity   and canters towards a rousing conclusion. This is pop music of a refined   and intensely emotive stripe.\n\n‘Words Make the Master’ is the third track to be taken from Liam Singer’s latest album <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Dislocatia</span>, one of Textura’s top albums of 2010. Produced by Scott Solter, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Dislocatia </span>is   rich in wondrous, resonant details – a truly beguiling song cycle that   contains multitudes. These fantastical song-stories carry the listener   skyward like a clockwork cloud. It’s rare to find such arresting   compositional talent married not only to an innate sense of melody and   emotion, but also to a keen sense of texture and atmosphere. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Dislocatia </span>manages   to merge these elements together and, more importantly, blur any lines   that divide them. Liam Singer’s alchemical compositional process   transforms the songs into a whole that transcends simple descriptors. <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=48&amp;products_id=155\"><em>Dislocatia</em></a> is out now through Hidden Shoal Recordings.\n\n<em>“a uniquely experimental approach to pop music…. His music has the     stately and cerebral sides of modern composition, not to mention the     beauty and grace, but also an intimacy and directness…. This is very     emotional music that uses all of the tactics at Singer’s disposal,  for    greatest impact.… Singer seems determined to find what is around  us  that   we don’t know about, and to make us feel like we’ve done the   same,   participating in an exciting act of discovery”</em> – <strong>PopMatters </strong>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<em>“If the Bedroom Communities roster are the  post-romantics, like    Brahms and Rachmoninovs, of 21st century  indie-acceptable classical    music, then Liam Singer is the Erik Satie  of the group, playing wildly    conceptual music that never quite loses  its emotional resonance.”</em> –<strong> Tome To The Weather Machine</strong>\n\nTo co-incide with the single release Hidden Shoal are also excited to announce the wonderful new <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD1rI8cGM8w\">music video</a> by Portland multimedia artist Jay Leary for another cut from <em>Dislocatia</em>,   \'Mold Me Torn Fan\'. As is evidenced here in this wonderfully playful and surreal video, Leary\'s work often features   psychedelic themes and anthropomorphized animals.

For one week, all releases covered below will be available from the Hidden Shoal Store with a 40% discount. Flavoursome!\r\n\r\nIn 2007, Hidden Shoal pushed onward with a ridiculously full release schedule and tons of new signings. The label continued its expansion internationally with 2007 seeing releases from a diverse and beautiful spectrum of artists based in Germany (Sankt Otten and Jumpel), France (Beautiful Lunar Landscape), the US (Slow Dancing Society, The Hero Cycle, Iretsu, Wes Willenbring, Monocle), Belgium (Colour Kane) and Japan (Cheekbone, The Retail Sectors).\r\n\r\nLocally, 2007 saw releases from ambient duo Moongoat, a new album from Chris Mason and an EP under his My Majestic Star moniker, plus an EP from Melbourne instrumental quartet Bury The Sound (with HSR’s Tim Clarke on guitar).\r\n\r\nIn May 2007 we were proud to celebrate our first birthday with the release of the second volume in our free download compilation series, The Garden of Forking Paths. And if that wasn’t enough, we saw out the end of the year with the release of a third compilation, Limit of Maps, rounding up tracks from the second half of 2007 and also featuring a sneak preview of a few 2008 releases, too.\r\n\r\nHowever, perhaps the crowning achievement of a busy year was being named one of <a href=\"http://www.textura.org/archives/articles/tenfavouritelabels2007.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Textura’s 10 favourite labels of 2007</a>.

This is a reimagined journey through the musical landscape of the original album rather than a collection of disparate snapshots. <em>Where’s My Dystopia?</em> includes the single ‘Drank, Kites And Tomorrow’ remixed by GUM (Tame Impala and Pond’s Jay Watson) alongside radical reworkings by Seams, Filter Beds, Water Graves, Mei Saraswati, Valerio Cosi, Usurper of Modern Medicine, No. 9, Ghost Drums and Mental Powers.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>What\'s Your Utopia?</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1996143844/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/whats-your-utopia\">What\'s Your Utopia? by perth</a></iframe>\r\nNovember 2013\r\n<div></div>\r\nAustralian experimental pop outfit perth deliver their sophomore album <em>What’s Your Utopia?</em>. The band have managed to meld psychedelic pop, folk-laced electronica and shoegaze into a beautifully cohesive statement – a tribute to the idea of a fond place, or utopia, quietly residing in ‘no place’, beyond ourselves. The band’s magic lies in their ability to refract the individual members’ unique sensibilities through an experimental lens; kaleidoscopic sound design is matched by the band’s songwriting dexterity throughout the album’s nine tracks.\r\n\r\nSingle 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.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nSpawning from intercontinental collaboration, perth’s 2012 debut LP, <em>Babes, Water, Waves</em>, was born in many locations other than their eponymous hometown. However, geographical separation failed to distance the musical sentiments shared between three members of Apricot Rail (Matthew Saville, Justin Manzano and Jack Quirk) and songwriter Michael Dolan. A dual sense of triumph and melancholy permeated <em>Babes, Water, Waves</em>, conveyed through combining traditional instrumentation and pop structure with warbling organic samples, hissing analogue keys, found sounds and woozy vocal harmonies.\r\n\r\nThe band’s second album, w<em>hat’s your utopia?</em>, takes an eclectic approach to organic electronic music while evolving its scope and clarity. Recorded in a variety of locations, from a desolate cabin perched upon the surly south-west Australian coast to the glow of Studio 373 in Perth, the album was then mixed by the band’s Justin Manzano before being mastered by Simon Struthers (Mukaizake, Umpire) of Forensic Audio.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3><p>[catlist name=perth-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]</p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"perth News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/perth-news/\"><strong>More News</strong></a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=perth-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/perth-Wheres_My_Dystopia_Press_Release.pdf\"><em>Where’s My Dystopia?</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Perth-Drank_and_Kites_and_Tomorrow_GUM_Remix.pdf\">‘Drank and Kites and Tomorrow (GUM Remix)’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Perth-Whats_Your_Utopia.pdf\"><em>What’s Your Utopia?</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Perth-Greasy_Moon.pdf\">‘Greasy Moon’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-perth-Dranks_and_Kites_and_Tomorrow.pdf\">‘Drank and Kites and Tomorrow’ Single Release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n \r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"9100,9101,9102,9103\"]\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/ep6EpVZtJzE?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\nperth\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

With just his voice and acoustic guitar, plus languid piano backing by Grant Wilson (of Ghost Hunters TV show fame), these stripped-back versions of <em>The European</em>’s ‘Antiquarian Days’, <em>The Wooden Heart</em>’s title track and ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ are given vivid new life through Kramies’ genuinely affecting performances.</p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>The Wooden Heart</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 340px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2389044161/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://kramies.bandcamp.com/album/the-wooden-heart\">The Wooden Heart by Kramies</a></iframe><br />\r\nOctober 2013</p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p><em>The Wooden Heart</em> is the luscious and expansive new EP from Colorado-based dream-pop artist Kramies. The EP features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame, along with the inimitable production and additional instrumentation of Robert Pollard co-conspirator Todd Tobias.</p>\r\n<p><em>The Wooden Heart</em> mines a wonderfully rich seam of atmospheric yet epic songcraft that Kramies has made his own. From the throbbing ambient introduction of ‘The Beginning’ through to the delicate folk of ‘The Ending’, Kramies’ new EP covers vast emotional and musical terrain during its 23-minute run-time. The title track’s windswept grandeur is married to an emotional directness that demands your attention and doesn’t let go, ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ sways and swoons with an almost unbearable poignancy, and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’ both alludes to and embodies this music’s timeless appeal.</p>\r\n<p>In addition to Todd Tobias’s production (on ‘The Beginning’, ‘The Wooden Heart’, ‘Upon The Northern Isles’ and ‘The Ending’), <em>The Wooden Heart</em> EP also features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame (on ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’). Rounded out by the beautiful artwork of French photographer Jérôme Sevrette, The Wooden Heart EP is a lovingly constructed work of art.</p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>The European</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 307px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2414891436/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://kramies.bandcamp.com/album/the-european\">The European by Kramies</a></iframe><br />\r\nNovember 2011</p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p>Produced by Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard, Circus Devils), <em>The European</em> sets Kramies’ gorgeous voice and acoustic guitar within a glowing tableau, epic in scope yet delicate in detail. The EP fades into view with ‘Intro’, a simple cyclical pattern of guitar, piano and vocals gradually subsumed by drones and distortion. This leads into the majestic, glacial sway of the title track, guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Then, ‘Inventors’ is the album’s dark, shadowy heart, a ballad of subtle intensity.</p>\r\n<p>Single ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ is an emotionally resonant vortex of swooning pop built around an absolutely heartbreaking chord progression on synthesizer, carried skyward as layers and layers of instruments build and build. And the closing ‘Antiquarian Days’ is a fitting fade towards a sepia horizon, burbling loops and chiming guitars accompanying Kramies’ gentle lament.</p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\n<p>Dutch-American singer-songwriter Kramies Windt began writing songs at the age of 14 after buying his first synth, acoustic guitar and four-track cassette recorder at an estate sale in his home town of Cleveland, Ohio. Even though he was never really exposed to any music other than old Dutch Christmas records his family had lying around when he was a kid, their haunting sound would shape the direction of his future songwriting.</p>\r\n<p>Kramies started forming and playing in bands around the age of 16, and by the age of 19, the bands he formed became based around the songs he was writing. The bands took on many forms, playing the underground music scene from Ohio to Chicago. Come the late ’90s, Kramies developed his own sound, based around old-world imagery of cobblestone streets, old trains and castles, and romantic, poetic moments. Kramies and his band went on to open for Spiritualized, Grandaddy, Yo La Tengo, Calexico, Stereolab, Dirty Three and Red House Painters.</p>\r\n<p>Come 2004, Kramies decided to focus on writing and recording in the studio, and began working with producer and engineer Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard) and guitarist David Paolucci. Working with Todd and David, Kramies released two albums to critical acclaim: Golden Like A New Thing (ACM, 2008) and Castle of Ghosts (ACM, 2010).</p>\r\n<p>In 2010 Kramies began writing the songs for his first Hidden Shoal release, The European EP, in his coat closet in Colorado. The songs were demoed on four-track, painting a vivid sonic picture of the direction the release would take, drawing on the haunting old-world imagery he loved so much as a kid. The demos were sent to David Paolucci to start working on guitar parts in Ohio. Kramies then toured Ireland, playing really old pubs and small concert halls, which brought new ideas and layers to the songs. The European EP was recorded in June and July 2011 with Todd Tobias, with prominent, swirling guitar work from Dave Paolucci.</p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3><p>[catlist name=kramies-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]</p><p><!--more--></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=kramies-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<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/Press_Release-Kramies-The_Folklore_Sessions_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Folklore Sessions</em> EP Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Wooden Heart</em> Album Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart%28Single%29.pdf\">Kramies ‘The Wooden Heart’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_European.pdf\">Kramies – <em>The European</em> EP Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-Coal_Miners_Executive_Club.pdf\">Kramies – ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery ids=\"9000,8999,9001\"]\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/uM1_Ov-ont0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/-l4F8vCH8MM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/vOHV7ZWshkM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/TdmV4aOSmxE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/C5865MiACPA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/KxAnc3dj3b0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Kramies\' music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

Todd has been Robert Pollard’s in-house record producer since 2002, beginning with Guided by Voices’ Matador release <em>Universal Truths and Cycles</em>. Todd has also produced many other indie-rock projects over the years, including the latest release from fellow Hidden Shoal Recordings artist Kramies (<em>The European</em> EP).</p><p>Todd has always been a musical experimentalist. While playing in bands as a drummer or bassist, he continued work on his own with a cassette 4 track, creating soundscapes and his own brand of exotic rock. One of Todd’s basement tapes eventually caught the ear of Robert Pollard, who then asked Todd and brother Tim to form Circus Devils. Following the debut album from Circus Devils in 2001, Todd began to use the band as a showpiece for his unorthodox musical adventures. After nine albums with Circus Devils, and several dozen album productions with Robert Pollard and a variety of other artists, Todd finally birthed his first solo work for Hidden Shoal, <em>Medicine Show</em>.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3><p>[catlist name=todd-tobias-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]</p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Todd Tobias News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/todd-tobias-news/\"><strong>More News</strong></a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Reviews</h2>[catlist name=todd-tobias-reviews content=yes pagination=no 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-I_Razor_Soundtrack.pdf\"> <em>I Razor</em> Soundtrack Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_-_Circus_Devils-All_The_Good_Ones_Are_Gone.pdf\">Circus Devils – ‘All The Good Ones Are Gone’ single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Medicine_Show.pdf\">Todd Tobias – <em>Medicine Show</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Manatoc_Enters_The_City.pdf\">‘Manatoc Enters The City / The Long Fall’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Signing.pdf\">Todd Tobias Signs To Hidden Shoal</a></p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"9266,9267,9268\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/qTYQfnb71hE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/5fuyIu4V26Y?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/AQbVKD3ACeA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/EXOYfO_ZoRM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/WIA2VpZJ8eo?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Todd Tobias\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

It weaves lo-fi keyboards through shimmering guitar textures, scatters unsettling rhythms across ethereal synthscapes, and unveils kaleidoscopic new treasures among its 30+ tracks with each listen.\r\n\r\nTold from the perspective of a former scientist turned wandering telepathic man-child, <i>I Razor</i> is the story of one man’s quest to regain his lost humanity.  <i>I Razor</i> presents its world in hallucinatory visions, reflecting the state of mind of its main character.  The story is told with minimal dialog and an open plot structure, relying instead on visuals and music to carry it’s narratives.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Medicine Show</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 670px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1386444045/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://toddtobiasmusic.bandcamp.com/album/medicine-show\">MEDICINE SHOW by Todd Tobias</a></iframe>\r\nApril 2012\r\n<div></div>\r\nAfter years of producing Guided By Voices, playing in Circus Devils with Robert Pollard, and helping to create the music for Pollard’s solo albums, Todd Tobias is striking out on his own with his debut solo album. Defiantly unique and vividly realised, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Medicine Show</span> is a multi-faceted instrumental opus, evoking a shadowy steampunk dystopia. By turns nightmarish and hauntingly beautiful, the three-dimensional musical universe that Tobias conjures across 40 minutes is totally addictive.\r\n\r\nFrom the dark GBV-esque groove of ‘Night of the Club Foot’, through the gaseous synths of ‘Pre-Dawn Visitation’, evoking a hallucinogen-fuelled walk among a misty moon-lit forest, to the visceral lurch of single ‘Manatoc Enters The City / The Long Fall’, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Medicine Show</span> plays out like the soundtrack to a Terry Gilliam movie starring Tom Waits, each song a totally immersive scene, leading inexorably into the next.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nTodd Tobias and older brother Tim Tobias grew up in Northeast Ohio, USA, where the two played together in a string of bands, culminating in Clouds Forming Crowns and Circus Devils (the latter with fellow Ohioan Robert Pollard of Guided by Voices). Todd has been Robert Pollard’s in-house record producer since 2002, beginning with Guided by Voices’ Matador release <em>Universal Truths and Cycles</em>. Todd has also produced many other indie-rock projects over the years, including the latest release from fellow Hidden Shoal Recordings artist Kramies (<em>The European</em> EP).\r\n\r\nTodd has always been a musical experimentalist. While playing in bands as a drummer or bassist, he continued work on his own with a cassette 4 track, creating soundscapes and his own brand of exotic rock. One of Todd’s basement tapes eventually caught the ear of Robert Pollard, who then asked Todd and brother Tim to form Circus Devils. Following the debut album from Circus Devils in 2001, Todd began to use the band as a showpiece for his unorthodox musical adventures. After nine albums with Circus Devils, and several dozen album productions with Robert Pollard and a variety of other artists, Todd finally birthed his first solo work for Hidden Shoal, <em>Medicine Show</em>.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=todd-tobias-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Todd Tobias News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/todd-tobias-news/\"><strong>More News</strong></a></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=todd-tobias-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<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-I_Razor_Soundtrack.pdf\"> <em>I Razor</em> Soundtrack Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_-_Circus_Devils-All_The_Good_Ones_Are_Gone.pdf\">Circus Devils – ‘All The Good Ones Are Gone’ single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Medicine_Show.pdf\">Todd Tobias – <em>Medicine Show</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Manatoc_Enters_The_City.pdf\">‘Manatoc Enters The City / The Long Fall’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Signing.pdf\">Todd Tobias Signs To Hidden Shoal</a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\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=\"9266,9267,9268\"]\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/qTYQfnb71hE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/5fuyIu4V26Y?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/AQbVKD3ACeA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/EXOYfO_ZoRM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/WIA2VpZJ8eo?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\nTodd Tobias\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The track will be available for <a href=\"http://tinyurl.com/4lql237\">free download</a> for a limited time.\n\nAfter the deliciously breezy pop of single ‘Misty Valley, ‘Wild Ride’ is where <em>On Holiday’s</em> anxious undertones begin to creep in more forcefully. In a similar vein to Rich Bennett’s fantastic recent release <em><a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=31&amp;products_id=161\">Buddy Cop</a></em>,  ‘Wild Ride’ is constructed from the juiciest synth sounds, coming  across like edgy ‘80s electronica. A fat, arpeggiated bassline is  layered with aching melodies, over which Bennett’s urgent vocal line is  shadowed by Rebecca Pronsky. ‘Wild Ride’ distills Bennett’s mastery of  disparate genres into a perfectly brooding synth-pop nugget. The track  is accompanied by a wonderfully playful found-footage music video.\n\nThe music of supermarkets, elevators and doctor’s offices has been  floating around inside Brooklyn resident Rich Bennett’s head since he  was born. It’s no wonder that Bennett’s music seems to spring from those  delightfully soporific melodies he heard as a child riding in his mom’s  shopping cart. Bennett’s debut solo outing Music For Underwater  Supermarkets is the glistening fruit of a retreat back to those aisles. <em>On Holiday</em> explores these atmospheres further, creating dark and complex pop  music, featuring Bennett’s vocals for the first time. Bennett’s recent    mini-album Buddy Cop saw him create a soundtrack to an imaginary film -  a retro-futuristic love affair between Ennio Morricone and John  Carpenter.\n\n<em>“… an experiment in the emotionally-ached and the musically placid … a    sense of risky songwriting elevates On Holiday as a whole … Rich   Bennett  is trying to do something incredibly ambitious, and maybe to a   fault,  taking the essentials of lounge, something almost universally   joked  about, and recording them in a new context and for a new   audience.” </em>–  <strong>Delusions of Adequacy</strong>\n\n<em> “This is the perfect blend of cheesy lounge flavour cut with a scary    ambience that is like a deserted shopping centre in the 1970s where    someone left the music running.

Influenced by the classic exotica of Martin Denny, the aching folk-pop of Fleet Foxes, and the conceptual sweep of The Zombies’ <em>Odessey and Oracle</em>, Bennett\'s latest work <em>On Holiday</em> is brimming with subtly dark, breezy melodies and the buoyant vocals of both Bennett and Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Rebecca Pronsky. From the gorgeous \"ride on top a pop cloud\" single ‘Misty Valley’ to the delicious minor key melancholy of  ‘Night Part 2’, <em>On Holiday</em> is as intoxicating as it is playful.\n\n<em>\"...what we have here is much darker in tone bearing more resemblance to an amalgam of left of centre troubadours like Baltimore’s The Agrarians and the Mamas and the Papas.  The screwed up uncomfortableness of ‘Wild Ride’ is a good example of this… A dramatic, in the theatrical sense, right turn takes place with ‘The Peak’ taking us off in to a lo-fi journey into ambient electronica before ‘Night Pt1′ and ‘Night Pt2′ heads off into the arena of a soundtrack to a really cool sixties European movie… Much of the pleasure derived from it comes from the vocal interplay between the downbeat Mr Bennett and the civilised Rebecca Pronsky, but the lasting value comes from the almost wilful obscurity of it all.

Brimming with delicious breezy melodies and the buoyant vocals of both Bennett and Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Rebecca Pronsky, the optimistic side of the album is typified by gorgeous single ‘Misty Valley’ and the expansive, home-on-the-range vibe of ‘Back Around’. The luscious contours of these songs are immediately inviting, but follow their flowing lines and there’s no resolution – just an anxious question mark.\n\nThe other side of the album, lurking like a shadow, is the knowledge that you’re in the middle of a fantasy and it’s only fleeting, soon to return to normal life. This nagging feeling of emptiness runs throughout, whether it’s the reflective whistling and watery phased melodies of ‘EPO’, the gloriously disorientating multi-tracked saxophone solo on ‘Night Part 1’, or the delicious minor key ‘Night Part 2’. Closing track ‘Green Memories’ casts doubt on whether the holiday was even real, its strings and woodwinds mustering a sense of intoxicating, queasy melancholy.\n\n<em>“brings together the sophisticated pop soundtracks of Burt Bacharach and Ennio Morricone with the electronic detail of Stereolab and Delia Derbyshire….

Hidden Shoal Recordings will release the debut mini-album by Monocle\'s <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/rich-bennett/\">Rich Bennett</a>. The seductive and sublime <em>Music for Underwater Supermarkets</em> will be released on the 9th September by the label. Here\'s a word based taster of what\'s to come:\n\n<em>Since early childhood, the music of supermarkets, elevators and doctor’s offices has been floating around inside Rich Bennett’s head. When Bennett began to make his own music, much of it seemed to come from the first delightfully soporific melodies he heard while riding around in his mom’s shopping cart as a child. Indeed Bennett’s debut solo outing <em>Music for Underwater Supermarkets</em> is the glistening fruit of a retreat back to those aisles. While informed by the familiar, <em>Music for Underwater Supermarkets</em> breathes gentle yet strange new life into the everyday. </em>\n\nIf you think music speaks louder than words then fear not. The first single to be lifted from the mini-album will be available on the 12th August for free download up until the release of <em>Music for Underwater Supermarkets.</em>\n\nIn the meanwhile prepare your ears for the treats that await with a track from Monocle\'s <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=27&amp;products_id=57\"><em>Outer Sunset</em></a>.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Media/HSR_Radio/monocle/road_sign.mp3\">Monocle - Road Sign</a>  <em>Monocle - Road Sign </em>','Rich Bennett Release Announced ','','inherit','closed','closed','','945-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 01:58:35','2014-08-01 01:58:35','',945,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/945-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(9995,1,'2014-08-01 02:15:59','2014-08-01 02:15:59','<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/wrm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" />Wes Willenbring\'s stunning new album <em><a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=20&amp;products_id=199\" target=\"_blank\">Weapons Reference Manual</a> </em>has recently received glowing reviews from <a href=\"http://www.textura.org/reviews/willenbring_weaponsreference.htm\" target=\"_blank\">textura</a> and <a href=\"http://acloserlisten.com/2012/05/27/wes-willenbring-weapons-reference-manual/\" target=\"_blank\">A Closer Listen</a>.

As with Willenbring’s debut, <em>Close, But Not Too Close</em> is all about time in both it’s broadest and most discrete sense. There is a deliberation present in it’s composition that makes for a level of engagement far beyond any easy notion of what ambient music is or should be.\n\nThe album opens with the elegiac organ drones of ‘I’m Looking Forward To Your Funeral’, immediately setting the scene for this shadow filled, introspective, eight-song opus. The track showcases Willenbring’s masterful balance of passage and destination. The wonderfully received single ‘Oh, Most’ is submerged in icy washes of guitar, under which piano and bass meet in a rhythmic valium struggle. A plaintive cyclical piano line leads ‘My Ghostly Fingers’ before being joined by vacillating Mellotron flute lines as if Satie had fallen to dream. The classical guitar lines in ‘The Burrow’ literally dig into your subconscious, from where a warm yet unearthly Mellotron acts as a kind of embrocation. ‘For All The Strays’ would have sounded perfectly at home on Willenbring’s debut with it’s dry, pure electric guitar tones, delicately placed piano chords in the foreground and smears of drone threatening in the distance. This bridging of melody and texture, of form and formlessness, time and time again draws the listener into territory that is at once unknown yet intimately familiar – a place that is as marked by notions of transformation as it is by melancholy.\n\n<em>“Absolutely gorgeous.

I  started listening to <em>One River</em> after visiting the Rothko Chapel  in Houston, and I immediately saw the connection between Rothko’s  monochromatic paintings  and Solter’s washes of sound. Neither is meant  to be appreciated in the same way as traditional art. There is no  subject matter in Rothko’s paintings  just as there is no  verse-bridge-chorus structure in Solter’s piece. Instead, both artists  are concerned with creating emotions in more subtle ways than does  traditional art. What ambient music and abstract art offer is an  opportunity to experience art that isn’t trying to define the  listener/viewer experience. You aren’t distracted by the form, and so  can better experience the sensation that the art evokes in you.\n\n<em>One River</em> is meant to be listened to as one piece, and it  slowly ebbs and flows over its 33-minute running time. There are  processed guitars, synthesizers, and subtle percussive elements. It  pulses and runs like the river it is named after, and the end result  feels natural and organic despite the digital tools used to produce it.   The overall mood is peaceful and reflective. It never veers into new  age cheesiness, and doesn’t contain any unsettling or dissonant moments.  I love Aphex Twin’s <em>Selected Ambient Works Volume 2</em>, but there are several tracks on that collection that are truly unsettling; and I was happy that <em>One River</em> avoids getting creepy.\n\nMark and Laura Solter created a film called <em>Twins and Wives</em> to accompany the re-release. While it is an interesting visualization of the music, I prefer to listen to <em>One River</em> without the visuals. Part of my enjoyment of the album is what images  and feelings it brings up. It taps into an area of the brain that most  music doesn’t touch.\n\nI really enjoy this album, and I’m thankful that Perth-based Hidden  Shoal Recording chose to reissue it. It’s gotten me to explore more  ambient music, and has been a wonderful contrast to the majority of  music that I listen to.<em> One River</em> is an excellent album that fans of ambient music won’t want to miss.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://blogcritics.org/music/article/music-review-scott-solter-one-river/\" target=\"_blank\">BlogCritics</a>','Scott Solter &quot;One River&quot; -  BlogCritics','','inherit','closed','closed','','4928-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:19:24','2014-08-01 02:19:24','',4928,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/4928-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10033,1,'2014-08-01 02:19:24','2014-08-01 02:19:24','\"Scott Solter, one half of Boxharp and prolific recording engineer,  producer, mixer, re-mixer and musician, reissues his 2005 album ‘One  River’. It has aspects of what is con temporarily described as glacial  ambient, in that it is built from monolithic drone scapes that move  slowly and invoke qualities of sparse almost barren climes. As a piece  it comprises guitar processed to bare recognition, tape, cymbals, field  recordings and manipulated voice, although it’s production qualities are  so heavily present that the main instrument would have to be considered  as the recording studio. Solter’s press material would have it that he  is exploring the space between Brian Eno’s ‘Music for Airports’ and  William Basinski’s ‘Disintegration Loops’, although comparisons to some  of the output from Glacial Movements would be equally a descriptive  shortcut.\n\n‘One River’ is a seven track album which presents itself as one long  unfolding with the nominal indexing for motives not quite clear. However  they can be considered as movements with a whole with ‘Tarn’ opening  the affair as a slow build introducing the elements and developing the  recurring motifs into longer cycles. The release to the aspects of lower  bass tones to accompany the higher cyclical drones occurs late in  ‘Tarn’ and is a focal aspect of ‘Ghost Trains’ along with subtle field  recordings of trains and a few guitar flourishes. ‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=53&amp;products_id=177\" target=\"_blank\">The Great Cold</a>‘  has an eerier  feel with a haunting choral sound and the drones emptied  of their melodic tones to almost suggest affect less expression or  barren scapes, as the intermittent samples of bird cries sparsely  populate the track. ‘Antique Brothers’ slows down the pace and gives  nuance to the drones creating distinct tonal variations within the  cycles and eliciting a melancholic feel eventually being stripped back  to a low tone and stretched minimal renditions of the cycles. ‘Wave and  Sepia Wire’ moves back towards a brighter aspects of the cycles which  continues through ‘Cypress Road’ building a more solemn sound bespeaking  portent which culminates in ‘The Palace Wedding’ and it’s long pristine  versions of the drone cycles with upwardly moving effects and gleams  shining through in a positive resolve.\n\n‘One River’ has also been made into a video ‘<a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb99cXnx1-k&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">Twins and Wives</a>: a film for One River’ which is to see limited edition DVD release.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.cyclicdefrost.com/blog/2011/12/scott-solter-one-river-hidden-shoal/\"><strong>Cyclic Defrost</strong></a>','Scott Solter &quot;One River&quot; - Cyclic Defrost','','inherit','closed','closed','','4926-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:19:24','2014-08-01 02:19:24','',4926,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/4926-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10034,1,'2014-08-01 02:19:24','2014-08-01 02:19:24','\"Though Scott Solter\'s <em>One River </em> isn\'t a  new recording—it was first released in 2005 on Tell-All Records—it\'s as  timeless a recording of ambient music as could be imagined—and  beautiful, too, I might add. Its title is well-chosen, as the recording  unfolds in an uninterrupted, thirty-four-minute flow, despite the  seven-track indexing of its presentation. What separates it from many  another ambient recording is its timbral character, and in particular  the steel guitar-like sound that Solter generates through the heavily  processed treatment of the electric guitar. Its flowing lines  reverberate so powerfully <em>One River </em> begins to sound as if it  was recorded in an immense cathedral setting. A mood of peaceful calm  characterizes the material, as if to suggest the lulling drift of a boat  as it floats downstream, propelled by nothing more than the movements  of the river itself.\n\nSolter has built up an impressive CV as a  producer and for having worked with artists such as Spoon, Pattern is  Movement, Superchunk, Liam Singer, and St Vincent, but it\'s another side  of Solter that\'s showcased on <em>One River</em>, the one that finds  him acting as a member of both The Balustrade Ensemble and Boxharp, the  latter with Wendy Allen (whose manipulated voice briefly appears on <em>One River</em>). Though, as mentioned, <em>One River </em> plays without interruption, distinct shifts in character do assert  themselves as the material moves from one indexed track to the next.  Whereas “Tarn” inaugurates the journey with a becalmed ebb-and-flow of  delicate guitar shadings and soft bell percussion accents, “Antique  Brothers” brings the ethereal breath of Wendy Allen aboard; elsewhere,  cymbal shadings by Solter\'s other guest, Desmond Shea, amplify the  resonating character of “Cypress Road” before “The Palace Wedding”  closes the album on a ever-so-graceful note. <em>One River </em> is like  a single protracted sigh, a lyrical and and beautiful setting that  stands head and shoulders above the standard ambient recording.\"\n\n<a href=\"http://www.textura.org/reviews/solter_oneriver.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Textura</strong></a>','Scott Solter &quot;One River&quot; - Textura','','inherit','closed','closed','','4924-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:19:24','2014-08-01 02:19:24','',4924,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/4924-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10035,1,'2014-08-01 02:19:24','2014-08-01 02:19:24','Excerpt: \"Scott Solter’s “One River” is a digital and cd re-release  of this US Ambient musician/producers album that was originally released  on Tell-All records in 2005.

He also had a release on the Manifold label in  2003 called “The Brief Light”. The label has described this release as  “exploring the space between Brian Eno’s seminal Music For Airports and  William Basinski’s contemporary classic The Disintegration Loops. The  music sighs and aches beautifully, gradually transforming with subtlety  and grace, lulling the listener into blissful reverie” and I couldn’t  describe it better....

The underlying hook throughout the whole is that you can feel the spare alienation melting off every track, which become warmer and warmer as the thing wisps along at a floe pace...

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','','inherit','closed','closed','','1130-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:20:00','2014-08-01 02:20:00','',1130,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/1130-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10042,1,'2014-08-01 02:20:00','2014-08-01 02:20:00','Excerpt: \"Do you remember those magic eye 3D images that had people squinting at them at the recommended six inches distance whilst on crowded trains? After a period of going cross eyed a sudden ‘Eureka’ moment would arrive. Listening to <em>Chagrin</em> is a similar, musical, experience... quite often it is best to lie back, in a dark room, and allow your own experience to take you... it is rich with colour, rather like swimming in watercolours, and it has a myriad of doors, and mirrors to choose from.

Since then mainman Rich Bennett has released several mini albums, one an imaginary soundtrack for an imaginary 80′s cop show whilst the other two, ‘Music For Underwater Supermarkets’ and ‘On Holiday’, largely sounded like the titles suggested. Intriguing and inventive though they were, it’s refreshing to hear him placing the emphasis on song-based material for the belated second album by Monocle.\n\nSo what’s changed since the first album? For a start, Bennett has brought in Dead Leaf Echo’s Ana Breton to share vocal duties which adds a welcome contrast to Bennett’s own baritone. There’s also a commendable array of unusual instruments used in these songs. Steel drums (‘Breeze Along With Me’), surf guitar (‘Plastic Beach’) and Wurlitzer instrumentals (‘Swinger400′) all feature but in all honesty only the first of these is essential listening. Otherwise, though, classy moments are generously offered from track to track.\n\nOn the first song, ‘Snake’, the bouncy synth lines and strings usher in a great chorus, which is equal parts 1960′s easy listening and electro-pop. ‘Chances Glide’, the single, is an easy choice for a highlight; a pop song which is as much about mystery and intrigue as it is about being insanely addictive. This signals an upsurge in quality from the noirish urgency of ‘Exus’, to the moody jazz-pop ‘Inside The Gate’ and ending on a great high as a wonderfully meandering bassline takes on Stereolab-esque passages of beauty for ‘Most People Believe’.\n\nBeing hyper-critical, it’s hard not to feel a little short changed by ‘Transpacific Sound Paradise’, because at just thirty three minutes, this is a very brief album. Nevertheless, this being a Rich Bennett record, it’s a richly diverse offering with the majority of songs clearly touched by his retro-futurist pop genius.\"\n\n- <a href=\"http://leonardslair.wordpress.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Leonard\'s Lair</strong></a>','Monocle &quot;Transpacific Sound Paradise&quot; Reviewed at Leonard&#039;s Lair','','inherit','closed','closed','','7303-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:21:38','2014-08-01 02:21:38','',7303,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/7303-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10046,1,'2014-08-01 02:21:38','2014-08-01 02:21:38','\"Essentially the brainchild of Brooklyn based Rich Bennett whose 2010 mini-album on Hidden Shoal Recordings counts as one of that year\'s most understated. <a href=\"https://soundcloud.com/hidden_shoal/monocle-chances-glide\">Monocle</a>\'s debut long player <em>Outer Sunset</em> is a transcendental exercise in ambient dream pop where melody rules supreme.

That being said, it’s still a  helluva lot more interesting than your average, factory-pressed indie-rock album.

Like that album, the Beach Boys\' trademark left-right  keyboard alternations are evident here, along with some pleasantly disorientating  slide guitar. There\'s the wonderful wooziness of \'EPO\', with its whistled  main melody and dreamy high-register synths, recalling Angelo Badalamenti soundtracks (indeed, the instrumental coda, \'Green Memories\', with  its ominous, shifting keyboard patterns, would be right at home in a David  Lynch film.) The samba shuffle of \'Night Part 1\' also stands out, with a beautiful vibes arrangement, capped with an ecstatic double saxophone  solo over church organ. The overall mood though, despite the uplifting textures,  is something like displacement, which after all is one effect of being on  holiday.

A dramatic, in the theatrical sense, right turn takes place with \'The Peak\' taking us off in to a lo-fi journey into ambient electronica before \'Night Pt1\' and \'Night Pt2\' heads off into the arena of a soundtrack to a really cool sixties European movie...

The electric guitar is his weapon of preference though once, an acoustic ditto adds something of an Iberian flavour to otherwise uncharted terrain. ”Dreams and Schemes” is a saw-toothed fog, a trembling drone. “Scene Missing” is an attractive nothingness determined to achieve a state of enrapt somethingness. Pulsars travel through a rust belt on “Consequences of Recklessness,” corroding their bright, elongated rays. The longest piece is the shortest on ideas; at fifteen minutes, “Quaaludes” takes ages to get going, four notes banged out of the guitar which lead up to nothing much more than an empty, gaping hole in which to echo. Not that it isn´t pleasant, probably much more so if you are comfortably numb while listening, but it lacks the heft of all the other, much shorter tracks, which Willenbring endows with so much moxie. He closes with a gentle piano farewell.\"\n\n-<a href=\"http://igloomag.com/reviews/hidden-shoal-3view\" target=\"_blank\">Igloo Magazine</a>','Wes Willenbring &quot;Weapons Reference Manual&quot; - Igloo Magazine','','inherit','closed','closed','','5948-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:23:23','2014-08-01 02:23:23','',5948,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/5948-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10077,1,'2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','I don’t personally know Wes Willenbring, but something tells me he’s not very optimistic. His latest release, <em>Weapons Reference Manual</em>, gives off the vibe of something once menacing that time has turned sad, like a rusted scrap of Soviet-era metal. Even the vaguely flamenco-esque guitar that opens “People Disappear Every Day” is subsumed by creeping drones of unrelenting static. There’s a strange comfort to the resignation this music implies, a familiarity with the Pyrrhic spoils of modern warfare that depresses and troubles the listener in its own right. Think Neo giving a sign of relief as he watches The Matrix be switched back on. It’s defeatist and realistic, at once accepting and mournful of death and other tragedies. This might explain the rather bleak track titles; in addition to the aforementioned “People Disappear Every Day,” we’re treated to such delights as “Consequences of Recklessness,” “The Worst Part of You is the Best Thing You Have,” and disquieting final track “Ashes.” There is no life after death, Willenbring seems to posit; our modern tools of oppression and combat (the titular “weapons,” I presume) have made sure of that. The question then becomes: how much life do we really get to experience *before* death?\n\nTo the San Francisco-based artist’s credit, <em>Weapons Reference Manual </em>is not a painfully harsh or even jarring piece of work. Its noisy drones seem to be following some long-established ritual and thus don’t feel the need to jolt the listener into submission. Case in point: that flamenco guitar returns on “Consequences of Recklessness,” using the song’s entire three and a half minutes to teeter on the edge of some great, implacable anxiety. This time around, it survives the invading drones for most of the song; in the end, however, it succumbs to an assaulting wall of feedback. Willenbring’s ability to weave such narratives into the often monolithic tapestry of drone music is what makes <em>Weapons </em>such a special release. This is not life-affirming work, but it feels necessary all the same. This is life-<em>reflecting </em>work, and the images it conjures are of our own creation.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.foxydigitalis.com/foxyd/?p=34258\" target=\"_blank\">Foxy Digitalis</a>','Wes Willenbring &quot;Weapons Reference Manual&quot; - Foxy Digitalis','','inherit','closed','closed','','5438-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','',5438,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/5438-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10078,1,'2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','Presented in a dark industrial grey cover, <em>Weapons Reference Manual</em>, Wes Willenbring\'s third recording for Hidden Shoal, arrives with a clear sense of foreboding, a mood reinforced on aural grounds by the oily pool of black grime that floods its guitar-fueled dronescape “Dreams and Schemes.” It\'s a provocative and challenging opener by the now-San Francisco-based Willenbring, a way of stating that anyone climbing aboard will do so on his terms and no one else\'s. It\'s a stance borne out of artistic conviction, however, not defiance or arrogance—the sound of Willenbring following his instincts where they naturally lead. It\'s interesting to hear where his muse takes him on the seven-track, forty-minute outing: the epic, fifteen-minute meditation “Quaaludes,” for example, is powered by distortion-laden electric guitar playing of the kind we associate with Fear Falls Burning and thisquietarmy, while “Scene Missing” plunges us into a seven-minute black pit of vaporous soundscaping that invites comparison to Deathprod.\n\nLight-dark conflict appears to be the album\'s primary theme; it\'s certainly one Willenbring returns to throughout. On a number of occasions, scattered moments of illumination arise, bringing with them some tentative glimmer of hope, until they\'re slowly subsumed by darkness. Though the gentle strum of an acoustic guitar suggests “People Disappear Every Day” might offer some degree of peacefulness, it\'s gradually overwhelmed by a swelling mass of granular fuzz that recasts the piece as a drone-like reprise of the opener. In similar manner, the jittery guitar figure that introduces “Consequences of Recklessness” is slowly buried under a growing field of metallic tones, while the pretty arpeggios with which “The Worst Part of You is the Best Thing You Have” begins gradually lose their definition. Arriving as they do after the amorphous sludge of “Quaaludes,” the piano chords of “Ashes” almost startle when they resonate so clearly. In toto, <em>Weapons Reference Manual </em> presents a grittier and rawer side of Willenbring than has been heard before, and the move isn\'t unwelcome. His decision to offset the soothing sweetness so typical of of ambient music with the corrosive effects of effects-heavy guitarscaping proves to be an effective strategy on this latest chapter in his still-evolving story.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.textura.org/reviews/willenbring_weaponsreference.htm\" target=\"_blank\">textura</a>','Wes Willenbring &quot;Weapons Reference Manual&quot; - textura','','inherit','closed','closed','','5379-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','',5379,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/5379-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10079,1,'2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','The black and gray cover of Wes Willenbring’s new album, predisposes us for an encounter with an artist whose uncompromising vision may become either overbearing or revealing of greater truths that can only be deciphered through music.  Not any music can do that of course, as not everyone is willing to push the boundary of sound, or use the experience of living in a post-industrial world as a source of inspiration to make something truly original, but most importantly esoteric.\n\nWillenbring with <em>Weapons Reference Manual </em>makes a convincing argument for the fact that the transition into a post-industrial world hasn’t transformed the essentials of the human condition, as the grayness that remains at the heart of human civilization is still the main factor that guides our every move.  Experimenting with tones, drones, mechanic background noise, distorted drums and guitar, he builds dark atmospheres which embrace the listeners and present them with a sense of danger.  His music evolves like a being born in the darkness, moving like dark clouds, preparing us for a storm that may or may not come, but will surely affect our vision of the world (whether it will be for the better or the worse, remains to be seen and depends on our perspective the same way the Mayan prophesies of an impending doom or the dawn of an era of enlightenment, are interpreted depending on what each one of us wants to believe).\n\nLike a soundtrack to William Blake’s trip from normality to a fictional city named Machine at the end of the world in Jim Jarmusch’s <em>Dead Man, </em>Willenbring’s music tells us the story of a long train trip with no end in sight, the monotonous sound of the train’s engines becoming a part of life, in a way that we couldn’t have imagined before.  While all that sounds depressing, it surely isn’t.  The correct word is detached, as Willenbring has abandoned the emotional touches of his previous works, and seems to observe the story he’s writing from a distance.\n\nHis work is meticulous, serious, at times hypnotic, but also capable of keeping the listener wide awake.  This isn’t an album about the world’s beauty, but about recklessness, people disappearing every day, and dreams that will never be realized.  It’s  a wake-up call and meditation music for those willing to deep deeper into the most uncomfortable thoughts of our collective consciousness.\n\n<a href=\"http://acloserlisten.com/2012/05/27/wes-willenbring-weapons-reference-manual/\" target=\"_blank\">A Closer Listen</a>','Wes Willenbring &quot;Weapons Reference Manual&quot; - A Closer Listen','','inherit','closed','closed','','5377-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','',5377,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/5377-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10080,1,'2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','Thankfully, San Franciscan ambient musician Wes Willenbring doesn’t produce the kind of limply ethereal sounds you once meditated to that time you were trying to be more spiritual. On this, his third release, Willenbring wrests his raw guitar work together with distorting effects and chilling piano to create a record that’s more ‘layered aural dreamscape’ than ‘soundtrack to Ikea catalogue’. Tracks like \'People Disappear Everyday\' wax and wane, with deeply immersive silences and striking instrumental work that jolts you back to consciousness. Short, achingly melancholic numbers pepper the highlight tracks. Most are just long enough to lose yourself in, although Quaaludes presents 15 minutes of humming guitar, melting uneasily into a hypnotic composition of warped effects. These soundscapes are tightly constructed yet fluid enough that Weapons Resource Manual feels like a choose-your-own-adventure record; there’s undeniable emotion behind the dramatic scores and haunting static interludes, but what it evokes is up to you.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.ravemagazine.com.au/content/view/32493/181/\" target=\"_blank\">Rave magazine </a>','Wes Willenbring &quot;Weapons Reference Manual&quot; - Rave magazine','','inherit','closed','closed','','5272-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','',5272,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/5272-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10081,1,'2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','In February 2007, Hidden Shoal Recordings introduced Bay Area recording artist Wes Willenbring. His debut was named Somewhere Someone Else, and was greeted with that particular brand of scattered enthusiasm unique to an obscure release, including a Headphone Commute review stating, “Modern classical hasn’t felt this young in years!” The album certainly had its moments, between the slanting and morose piano scribbling of “Aperture” and the pulsing, insistent “In A Quiet Dark Room.” (The track “As You Fade Away” was featured in a recent episode of Skins).\n\nWillenbring’s sophomore release was Close But Not Too Close (October 2009), and received more widespread acclaim. The composer’s years of piano instruction and technical chops were much more evident here, in the plainly-titled “My Ghostly Fingers” and the loose-stringed “A Half-Hearted Apology.” Hypnagogue wrote, “There’s nothing here that isn’t absolutely inherent, nothing wedged or crammed in where it doesn’t belong.” By May of the following year, Willenbring indulged Fluid readers with an excellent Mixcloud collection, including tracks by Six Organs of Admittance, Vincent Gallo and William Basinksi, among the more standard fare. A subsequent Future Sequence interview revealed him to be a film, literature, and baseball aficionado. He prefers guitar and piano over synthesizer, the latter of which tends toward lateral exploration, but not necessarily much forward progress.\n\nSo he has our attention, and the third album — named Weapons Reference Manual — is set for an April 12 pre-order.\n\nTwo cuts stand out immediately: the advance track “Consequences of Recklessness,” and the 15-minute, three-act drone presentation “Quaaludes.” The former hints at dulcimer prowess, warm, possibly eastern drone hardware, even the hoarse call of a wind instrument, although all three of the sound elements are likely guitar. Willenbring reports that his compositions begin with melody, and the ethic shows here: a three-note siren heard through the distance of processing. “Quaaludes” opens with a bow to the narcotic idealism of early hard rock: a sludgy, distorted guitar, minimal and dissonant, with cavernous echoes. The repetition becomes entrancing, if not downright obsessive-compulsive. The first ten minutes go by quickly: the accumulation of feedback is unrushed, even exhilarating, if on a more rational level. And at the moment where the reiteration becomes too much, the tumultuous sleep begins dissolving into light. Or overdose, depending on how you interpret the narrative.\n\nIt is difficult to pick a favorite out of Willenbring’s catalog: the vastness of Somewhere Someone Else, the intricacies of Close But Not Too Close, or the meeting of both that he offers with Weapons Reference Manual. The Andalusian guitar and light manufacturing rumble of “People Disappear Every Day” favors Close, while the slowly rousing, crystalline guitars and telegraphed production of “Scene Missing” more favors Somewhere. There is a lot to like about the smeared ink, low-throttle guitar distortion and shimmering, time-lapse sustain of Weapons, but more than this, it is an invitation to get to know his discography as a whole.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.fluid-radio.co.uk/2012/04/wes-willenbring-weapons-reference-manual/\" target=\"_blank\">Fluid Radio </a>','Wes Willenbring &quot;Weapons Reference Manual&quot; - Fluid Radio','','inherit','closed','closed','','5270-revision-v1','','','2014-08-01 02:23:24','2014-08-01 02:23:24','',5270,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/5270-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10082,1,'2014-08-01 02:23:25','2014-08-01 02:23:25','Excerpt: \"SF sound sculptor and dreamdronedrift composer Wes Willenbring… is an accomplished pianist and guitarist, and those instruments form the basis of these songs, in some places that\'s obvious, but in others, the piano and the guitar, or any semblance of either, are blurred, or smeared, or pixelated into hazy clouds of sound, of softly shifting streaks of crystalline shimmer, the guitar often transformed into a buried pulse, the piano into soft focus flurries of barely there melody, at its most diffused and abstract, this is total bleary eyed starlight pop ambience, the sort of hushed orchestral drift that would appeal to fans of other sonic abstractionists like Stars Of The Lid or Tim Hecker or Fennesz...

Todd has been Robert Pollard’s in-house record producer since 2002, beginning with Guided by Voices’ Matador release <em>Universal Truths and Cycles</em>. Todd has also produced many other indie-rock projects over the years, including the latest release from fellow Hidden Shoal Recordings artist Kramies (<em>The European</em> EP).</p><p>Todd has always been a musical experimentalist. While playing in bands as a drummer or bassist, he continued work on his own with a cassette 4 track, creating soundscapes and his own brand of exotic rock. One of Todd’s basement tapes eventually caught the ear of Robert Pollard, who then asked Todd and brother Tim to form Circus Devils. Following the debut album from Circus Devils in 2001, Todd began to use the band as a showpiece for his unorthodox musical adventures. After nine albums with Circus Devils, and several dozen album productions with Robert Pollard and a variety of other artists, Todd finally birthed his first solo work for Hidden Shoal, <em>Medicine Show</em>.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3>[catlist name=todd-tobias-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Todd Tobias News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/todd-tobias-news/\"><strong>More News</strong></a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Reviews</h2><p>[catlist name=todd-tobias-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]</p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a title=\"Todd Tobias Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/todd-tobias-reviews/\">More Reviews</a></strong></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-I_Razor_Soundtrack.pdf\"> <em>I Razor</em> Soundtrack Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_-_Circus_Devils-All_The_Good_Ones_Are_Gone.pdf\">Circus Devils – ‘All The Good Ones Are Gone’ single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Medicine_Show.pdf\">Todd Tobias – <em>Medicine Show</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Manatoc_Enters_The_City.pdf\">‘Manatoc Enters The City / The Long Fall’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Signing.pdf\">Todd Tobias Signs To Hidden Shoal</a></p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"9266,9267,9268\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/qTYQfnb71hE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/5fuyIu4V26Y?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/AQbVKD3ACeA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/EXOYfO_ZoRM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/WIA2VpZJ8eo?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Todd Tobias\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The EP features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame, along with the inimitable production and additional instrumentation of Robert Pollard co-conspirator Todd Tobias.\r\n\r\n<em>The Wooden Heart</em> mines a wonderfully rich seam of atmospheric yet epic songcraft that Kramies has made his own. From the throbbing ambient introduction of ‘The Beginning’ through to the delicate folk of ‘The Ending’, Kramies’ new EP covers vast emotional and musical terrain during its 23-minute run-time. The title track’s windswept grandeur is married to an emotional directness that demands your attention and doesn’t let go, ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ sways and swoons with an almost unbearable poignancy, and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’ both alludes to and embodies this music’s timeless appeal.\r\n\r\nIn addition to Todd Tobias’s production (on ‘The Beginning’, ‘The Wooden Heart’, ‘Upon The Northern Isles’ and ‘The Ending’), <em>The Wooden Heart</em> EP also features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame (on ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’).

The EP fades into view with ‘Intro’, a simple cyclical pattern of guitar, piano and vocals gradually subsumed by drones and distortion. This leads into the majestic, glacial sway of the title track, guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Then, ‘Inventors’ is the album’s dark, shadowy heart, a ballad of subtle intensity.\r\n\r\nSingle ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ is an emotionally resonant vortex of swooning pop built around an absolutely heartbreaking chord progression on synthesizer, carried skyward as layers and layers of instruments build and build. And the closing ‘Antiquarian Days’ is a fitting fade towards a sepia horizon, burbling loops and chiming guitars accompanying Kramies’ gentle lament.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nDutch-American singer-songwriter Kramies Windt began writing songs at the age of 14 after buying his first synth, acoustic guitar and four-track cassette recorder at an estate sale in his home town of Cleveland, Ohio. Even though he was never really exposed to any music other than old Dutch Christmas records his family had lying around when he was a kid, their haunting sound would shape the direction of his future songwriting.\r\n\r\nKramies started forming and playing in bands around the age of 16, and by the age of 19, the bands he formed became based around the songs he was writing. The bands took on many forms, playing the underground music scene from Ohio to Chicago. Come the late ’90s, Kramies developed his own sound, based around old-world imagery of cobblestone streets, old trains and castles, and romantic, poetic moments. Kramies and his band went on to open for Spiritualized, Grandaddy, Yo La Tengo, Calexico, Stereolab, Dirty Three and Red House Painters.\r\n\r\nCome 2004, Kramies decided to focus on writing and recording in the studio, and began working with producer and engineer Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard) and guitarist David Paolucci. Working with Todd and David, Kramies released two albums to critical acclaim: Golden Like A New Thing (ACM, 2008) and Castle of Ghosts (ACM, 2010).\r\n\r\nIn 2010 Kramies began writing the songs for his first Hidden Shoal release, The European EP, in his coat closet in Colorado. The songs were demoed on four-track, painting a vivid sonic picture of the direction the release would take, drawing on the haunting old-world imagery he loved so much as a kid. The demos were sent to David Paolucci to start working on guitar parts in Ohio. Kramies then toured Ireland, playing really old pubs and small concert halls, which brought new ideas and layers to the songs. The European EP was recorded in June and July 2011 with Todd Tobias, with prominent, swirling guitar work from Dave Paolucci.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=kramies-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a title=\"More Kramies News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/kramies-news/\">More News</a></strong></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=kramies-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Kramies Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/kramies-reviews/\"><strong>More Reviews</strong></a></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/Press_Release-Kramies-The_Folklore_Sessions_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Folklore Sessions</em> EP Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Wooden Heart</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart%28Single%29.pdf\">Kramies ‘The Wooden Heart’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_European.pdf\">Kramies – <em>The European</em> EP Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-Coal_Miners_Executive_Club.pdf\">Kramies – ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ Single Release</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=\"9000,8999,9001\"]\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/uM1_Ov-ont0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/-l4F8vCH8MM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/vOHV7ZWshkM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/TdmV4aOSmxE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/C5865MiACPA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/KxAnc3dj3b0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\nKramies\' music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

Working with Todd and David, Kramies released two albums to critical acclaim: Golden Like A New Thing (ACM, 2008) and Castle of Ghosts (ACM, 2010).</p>\r\n<p>In 2010 Kramies began writing the songs for his first Hidden Shoal release, The European EP, in his coat closet in Colorado. The songs were demoed on four-track, painting a vivid sonic picture of the direction the release would take, drawing on the haunting old-world imagery he loved so much as a kid. The demos were sent to David Paolucci to start working on guitar parts in Ohio. Kramies then toured Ireland, playing really old pubs and small concert halls, which brought new ideas and layers to the songs. The European EP was recorded in June and July 2011 with Todd Tobias, with prominent, swirling guitar work from Dave Paolucci.</p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<br />\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=kramies-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a title=\"More Kramies News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/kramies-news/\">More News</a></strong></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Reviews</h2><p>[catlist name=kramies-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]</p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Kramies Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/kramies-reviews/\"><strong>More Reviews</strong></a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/Press_Release-Kramies-The_Folklore_Sessions_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Folklore Sessions</em> EP Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Wooden Heart</em> Album Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart%28Single%29.pdf\">Kramies ‘The Wooden Heart’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_European.pdf\">Kramies – <em>The European</em> EP Release</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-Coal_Miners_Executive_Club.pdf\">Kramies – ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ Single Release</a></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery ids=\"9000,8999,9001\"]\r\n<p> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/uM1_Ov-ont0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/-l4F8vCH8MM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/vOHV7ZWshkM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/TdmV4aOSmxE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/C5865MiACPA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/KxAnc3dj3b0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Kramies\' music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

This is a reimagined journey through the musical landscape of the original album rather than a collection of disparate snapshots. <em>Where’s My Dystopia?</em> includes the single ‘Drank, Kites And Tomorrow’ remixed by GUM (Tame Impala and Pond’s Jay Watson) alongside radical reworkings by Seams, Filter Beds, Water Graves, Mei Saraswati, Valerio Cosi, Usurper of Modern Medicine, No. 9, Ghost Drums and Mental Powers.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>What\'s Your Utopia?</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1996143844/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/whats-your-utopia\">What\'s Your Utopia? by perth</a></iframe><br /> November 2013</p><div> </div><p>Australian experimental pop outfit perth deliver their sophomore album <em>What’s Your Utopia?</em>. The band have managed to meld psychedelic pop, folk-laced electronica and shoegaze into a beautifully cohesive statement – a tribute to the idea of a fond place, or utopia, quietly residing in ‘no place’, beyond ourselves. The band’s magic lies in their ability to refract the individual members’ unique sensibilities through an experimental lens; kaleidoscopic sound design is matched by the band’s songwriting dexterity throughout the album’s nine tracks.</p><p>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.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3><p>Spawning from intercontinental collaboration, perth’s 2012 debut LP, <em>Babes, Water, Waves</em>, was born in many locations other than their eponymous hometown. However, geographical separation failed to distance the musical sentiments shared between three members of Apricot Rail (Matthew Saville, Justin Manzano and Jack Quirk) and songwriter Michael Dolan. A dual sense of triumph and melancholy permeated <em>Babes, Water, Waves</em>, conveyed through combining traditional instrumentation and pop structure with warbling organic samples, hissing analogue keys, found sounds and woozy vocal harmonies.</p><p>The band’s second album, w<em>hat’s your utopia?</em>, takes an eclectic approach to organic electronic music while evolving its scope and clarity. Recorded in a variety of locations, from a desolate cabin perched upon the surly south-west Australian coast to the glow of Studio 373 in Perth, the album was then mixed by the band’s Justin Manzano before being mastered by Simon Struthers (Mukaizake, Umpire) of Forensic Audio.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3>[catlist name=perth-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"perth News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/perth-news/\"><strong>More News</strong></a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Reviews</h2><p>[catlist name=perth-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]</p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a title=\"perth Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/perth-reviews/\">More Reviews</a></strong></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/perth-Wheres_My_Dystopia_Press_Release.pdf\"><em>Where’s My Dystopia?</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Perth-Drank_and_Kites_and_Tomorrow_GUM_Remix.pdf\">‘Drank and Kites and Tomorrow (GUM Remix)’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Perth-Whats_Your_Utopia.pdf\"><em>What’s Your Utopia?</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Perth-Greasy_Moon.pdf\">‘Greasy Moon’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-perth-Dranks_and_Kites_and_Tomorrow.pdf\">‘Drank and Kites and Tomorrow’ Single Release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"9100,9101,9102,9103\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/ep6EpVZtJzE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>perth\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The collaboration arose after Joe discovered and fell in love with Battlestations’ 2012 album <i>A Cold Embrace</i>. Joe contacted the band and sent them some of his previous work, Reivilo replied, and the Involved project was born.\r\n\r\nInvolved’s influences vary widely, including Tangerine Dream, Pet Shop Boys, Massive Attack, Cult of Luna, Anathema and Ulver. Their debut album <i>Revolving Maze</i> was constructed in fragments, with Joe and Reivilo sharing ideas and sounds entirely over the internet. Reivilo (keyboards, electronics, production) would send the basis for a track, and Joe (vocals, keyboards, production) would flesh out the melodies and add instrumental colour. They independently released the <i>Implant</i> EP in September 2013, and completed <i>Revolving Maze</i> in November 2013.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=involved-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=involved-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\nNo press releases yet, sorry!\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=\"10179\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\nNo videos yet, sorry![/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\nInvolved\'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. 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.

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\"]</p><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. 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.

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.

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. 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.

The debut album from Involved is one such work of art that really raises my expectations and gives me great hope for this project in the future. Involved is an electronic post-rock project created by Joe Dorsey (keyboardist for Ocean Architecture) and Reivilo Enoignor. As you can probably guess, this is an international relationship that has come together to create some great music.\r\n\r\nIf there\'s one thing that sets Involved apart from the post-rock crowd, it would be their sheer sense of style. Yes, this whole album has personality to it that most bands in this genre lack. The music is electronic-based, but features plenty of instruments, such as synth, piano, and guitars. Similarly to this year\'s excellent release from Teeth of the Sea, Involved utilizes the instruments extremely well. There is never an absence of melody or purpose. It never wanders aimlessly. Involved\'s brand of post-rock is pointed, focused, and atmospherically perfect. Seriously, I\'m not sure I\'ve ever heard a post-rock album that features such ethereal, textured atmospheres that make you never want to leave. For example, \"Inner Spaces\" has a light, airy ambiance that draws you in perfectly.\r\n\r\nIndeed, I\'m extremely impressed with the constant keyboard melody in the background that feels so organic and just right. It waxes and wanes with the music, and climaxes with height and vigor. Thoughtful, poignant, and moving; the music has a great pace and an excellent tone. In these moments, you can really hear the influence of soundtracks on this band. Indeed, I can hear the influence of the Deus Ex video game soundtrack clearly, but also the influence of Tangerine Dream and maybe even The Book of Eli soundtrack. Regardless, this album is highly original and masterfully presented.\r\n\r\nThere are some incredible tracks on \"Revolving Maze\".

The debut album from Involved is one such work of art that really raises my expectations and gives me great hope for this project in the future. Involved is an electronic post-rock project created by Joe Dorsey (keyboardist for Ocean Architecture) and Reivilo Enoignor. As you can probably guess, this is an international relationship that has come together to create some great music.\r\n\r\nIf there\'s one thing that sets Involved apart from the post-rock crowd, it would be their sheer sense of style. Yes, this whole album has personality to it that most bands in this genre lack. The music is electronic-based, but features plenty of instruments, such as synth, piano, and guitars. Similarly to this year\'s excellent release from Teeth of the Sea, Involved utilizes the instruments extremely well. There is never an absence of melody or purpose. It never wanders aimlessly. Involved\'s brand of post-rock is pointed, focused, and atmospherically perfect. Seriously, I\'m not sure I\'ve ever heard a post-rock album that features such ethereal, textured atmospheres that make you never want to leave. For example, \"Inner Spaces\" has a light, airy ambiance that draws you in perfectly.\r\n\r\nIndeed, I\'m extremely impressed with the constant keyboard melody in the background that feels so organic and just right. It waxes and wanes with the music, and climaxes with height and vigor. Thoughtful, poignant, and moving; the music has a great pace and an excellent tone. In these moments, you can really hear the influence of soundtracks on this band. Indeed, I can hear the influence of the Deus Ex video game soundtrack clearly, but also the influence of Tangerine Dream and maybe even The Book of Eli soundtrack. Regardless, this album is highly original and masterfully presented.\r\n\r\nThere are some incredible tracks on \"Revolving Maze\". My favorite is \"Tumult\" with its piano passages near the end, but I also love \"Patient\", \"Inner Spaces\", \"Ingress\", and \"Egress\". The whole album is worthwhile, however, with jaw-dropping melodies and incredible composition. I\'m truly impressed with the pensive, exquisite music that these two artists have created, and I am excited to hear the celestial masterpieces they will most definitely create in the future.\"\r\n\r\n- <a title=\"The Power of Metal\" href=\"http://powerofmetal.dk/reviews13/involved_review.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Power of Metal</strong></a>','Involved \"Revolving Maze\" Reviewed at The Power of Metal','','inherit','closed','closed','','10188-revision-v1','','','2014-08-07 08:12:18','2014-08-07 08:12:18','',10188,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/10188-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10192,1,'2014-08-07 08:34:13','2014-08-07 08:34:13','[et_pb_section fullwidth=\"off\" specialty=\"on\" background_color=\"#050505\" inner_shadow=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"css\"][et_pb_column type=\"3_4\" specialty_columns=\"3\"][et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=\"4_4\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Text\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\"]<h1>Involved</h1><p><i>“<img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-10179\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Invovled-Photo-222x300.jpg\" alt=\"Invovled\" width=\"183\" height=\"247\" />pointed, focused, and atmospherically perfect... such ethereal, textured atmospheres make you never want to leave” –</i><strong> The Power of Metal</strong></p><p>Involved fuse the psychedelic sounds of ’70s kosmische with ’80s electronic and more modern ambient styles, creating evocative, cinematic music.
