Since then, it’s been blasted regularly in the Hidden Shoal offices, and has received an <a href=\"http://dots-and-loops.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/roommate-make-like.html\">extensive review</a> on the blog of Hidden Shoal’s Tim Clarke. After contacting Kent about the release, Tim conducted an illuminating interview with Kent via email.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: This year you released your fourth album as Roommate, </b><b><i>MAKE LIKE</i></b><b>. Listening back to your discography, there’s a clear evolution away from electronic sounds towards a more sophisticated, full-band sound. How do you feel about the album now it’s been out for a while, and how do you see it sitting in relation to the rest of your releases?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> I’m going to quote from my application for the Illinois Arts Council grant that helped fund the album’s release. I wrote this text almost a year ago. Keep in mind that I was trying to convince strangers to give me money, so I come off as more grandiose and less humble than I otherwise might:</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">“I consider the album to be a pinnacle of my own career as songwriter and music producer, and a definitive representation of the band’s transformation from intimate, lo-fi, solo affair to cohesive, creatively ambitious, organically collaborative band… More than any past Roommate album, <i>MAKE LIKE</i> is the result of a collaborative decision-making process, and its songs were arranged for live shows before being translated into recordings. As with past Roommate albums, I wrote all of its songs in solitude. Unlike with past Roommate albums, all of its instrumental arrangements, recording processes and mixing decisions were conducted collectively. Though this album is ultimately a collection of my songs and its production was directed and managed by me, it is a document of a band, of multiple distinct sensibilities converging and diverging to untap and maximise the songs’ emotional, sonic and kinetic potential.”</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A year later, I’m going to quote from your review, it describes very well (and much more concisely) how I feel about the album: “a culmination of all that’s come before it – a distillation of an aesthetic and a refinement of purpose.”</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: Can you tell me a bit about your songwriting process, perhaps giving a couple of examples of how some of the songs on </b><b><i>Make Like </i></b><b>evolved.</b></p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13232\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Make-Like-album-cover.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-13232 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Make-Like-album-cover-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Roommate – MAKE LIKE\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a> Roommate – MAKE LIKE[/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> From 2000 to 2013, I continuously wrote material that eventually became songs on various Roommate albums. Some songs came together very quickly, others existed as pieces and parts, phrases and ideas, for months or even years before they cohered into a complete song. The process was basically me carrying these parts around, in notebooks or in my head, and filtering the stimuli of my daily life into parts that might lock together with pre-existing parts. For example, the line “lodgepoles are all getting eaten alive” in ‘RIOT SIZE’ was something my dad said on a camping trip in 2008 (he was pointing at and describing swaths of forest that had been destroyed by mountain pine beetles). I kept that little piece in my head, along with something about a tiger, and then in 2011, in the midst of the Arab Spring and protests in Wisconsin over collective bargaining, the rest of that song came together within a few weeks, and those little lodgepole and tiger puzzle pieces found their place. By the time I wrote ‘PEOPLE ON SCREENS’ in January 2013, the rest of what would become <i>MAKE LIKE </i>had already been written, and I had a pretty good idea of how it would be sequenced, and of some of its overarching themes. I felt like there needed to be one more song. So I wrote most of ‘PEOPLE ON SCREENS’ in one sitting. I think it came together so quickly because it had all of these other songs to support and inform it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: Your current line-up includes some pretty stellar players who also play in other Chicago bands. Do you have a clear idea of what you want the band to contribute to your songs, or do you let them create their own parts independently? </b></p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13234\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"257\"]<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Roommate-band-shot.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-13234\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Roommate-band-shot-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"Roommate\" width=\"257\" height=\"322\" /></a> Roommate (L–R): Gillian Lisée, Seth Vanek, Kent Lambert, Sam Wagster[/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> It can vary from song to song, but our album arrangements are typically a mixture of parts I’ve come up with and parts that the other players figure out independently, or together as a band in rehearsals and recording sessions. The typical process is that I write the song and record a demo of it on my own, so that my bandmates can learn the song before we get together to arrange it for live shows. The demo will have placeholder drum, bass, synth and vocal parts, basically whatever comes to mind as I quickly try to sketch the song out. I am usually not attached to those parts and encourage my bandmates to replace them with new stuff, but in many cases they get very attached to the demos and sculpt their parts from those placeholder arrangements. On past albums, the demos would typically form the skeletons of the songs’ album versions, with my bandmates and I recording new parts around them (e.g. ‘MY BAD’ and ‘AUGUST SONG’ on <i>Guilty Rainbow</i>), but with <i>MAKE LIKE</i>, we arranged and played the songs live for a while before we worked on them in the studio. In the case of ‘OLD GOLDEN,’ the album arrangement is quite different from the original demo – that song evolved considerably through multiple live arrangements before settling into its album form. By contrast, ‘DANCER HOWL’ is much closer to the demo. The guitar figure that repeats through the verses and early ‘choruses’ is directly taken from the demo (although of course Sam fleshed it out with gorgeous tone and articulation) and we flew in the electronic drum parts from the demo and processed them through outboard gear.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: I find your lyrics and vocal delivery to be incredibly affecting. You manage to strike a difficult balance between the specific and the universal. I’m never exactly certain of what you’re singing about, but I understand what you mean – if that makes sense! At what point in the songwriting process do the lyrics take shape, and do you feel there are certain themes or ideas that recur in your songs?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> It’s extremely gratifying to get that feedback! What you say makes perfect sense to me, and though I’ve never articulated it that way, I’d say that striking that balance (between the specific and the universal, between cerebral ambiguity and emotional clarity) has been an underlying goal of my songs in recent years. I’m not interested in or comfortable with writing literal, confessional songs, but I’m also not interested in escaping into a fantasy or musical genre-fetish persona… I suppose I write songs as some kind of self-therapy. I meditate on my personal world and the social communities around it – my own creative communities, the city of Chicago, and beyond. The lyrics pretty much always come first. I might have some chord fragments or keyboard riffs floating around, waiting for lyrics to bond with, but it’s the lyrics that drive the process and turn the fragments into songs. I try not to analyse my own songs too intensely, I leave that to people like you, but yes, there are definitely themes and ideas that recur. My songs tend to come directly out of my anxieties, and those anxieties certainly have recurring themes. A prominent theme would be my anxiety with my own tremendous, ridiculous privilege as a comfortably employed white American man in the 21st century. I feel a burning itch to reckon with that privilege, to scratch at it, question it and atone for it somehow, I suppose. Other themes that I consciously reflected on while writing <i>MAKE LIKE </i>involved the kind of identity slippage facilitated by social media and immersive video games, the ease with which we can ‘connect’ with childhood friends, casual acquaintances and strangers through status updates and 3D avatars in violent virtual spaces, the beauty and horror that can live on the surface of those experiences, and the loneliness that often lies at their core… Or something like that?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: The production on </b><b><i>MAKE LIKE</i></b><b> is incredibly deep and rich. Can you talk about your relationship with Nick Broste and how you approached production on the album?</b></p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13236\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"330\"]<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Nick-Broste-at-SOMA-Electronic-Music-Studios.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-13236 \" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Nick-Broste-at-SOMA-Electronic-Music-Studios-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Broste at SOMA Electronic Music Studios\" width=\"330\" height=\"186\" /></a> Producer Nick Broste at SOMA Electronic Music Studios, Chicago[/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL: </strong>We’d all known Nick for many years (he’s been a ubiquitous presence in Chicago’s music scene doing live sound and as a trombonist in Mucca Pazza and many other groups) but we’d never recorded with him. In 2012 we played a couple of shows at The Hideout for which he was running sound. We were very pleased with our stage mix and the feedback we got on how it sounded in the room. After one of those shows he told me that during ‘SECRET CLAW’ (a very new song at that point) he’d gotten very creative with the live mix, turning certain elements up and down and manipulating effects at various points in the song, and he sort of pitched the idea of helping us record a new album. We’d always self-produced with the incredible help of our good friend Gerard Barreto, but for a fourth album I was open to changing up the equation. I’d been fortunate enough to accumulate some complimentary recording days at John McEntire’s now-private SOMA Electronic Music Studios (my grandmother’s Mason &amp; Hamlin piano was housed there for a couple of years), so Nick and I made some plans to do a bunch of tracking there. I think Nick was accustomed to a more straightforward recording process, wherein a band more or less documents their live show in the studio, followed by overdubs and mixing. We did a version of that by tracking basic rhythm section parts first, but for us, tracking and mixing are intertwined throughout the entire production process. Our process relies heavily on intuition, experimentation, trial and error – we’d listen to the evolving mixes to try to divine what else needed to be added. Once Nick got used to this process, he dove in headfirst and became a sort of mad sorcerer mastermind. He’d conduct all sorts of experiments with various outboard gear at SOMA (while talking to himself in various Spinal Tap-esque characters), he’d send tracks to tape or through his Memory Man pedal, he’d come up with counter-melodies (the Stereolab-like Farfisa part on ‘OLD GOLDEN’ was his creation) and strange textures... he basically became another member of the band. There were countless hours of tracking and mixing that just involved Nick and me.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-sWkFqdkvPY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC:<i> MAKE LIKE </i></b><b>was mastered by Rashad Becker, who’s pretty legendary among those in the know, and who seems to have an </b><a href=\"http://roberthenke.com/interviews/mastering.html\"><b>exhaustive understanding of audio</b></a><b>. How did you come to work with him? Have there been albums he’s worked on that you admire? What do you feel he brought to the album’s final incarnation?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL: </strong>I don’t tend to pay too much attention to the technical personnel on albums I love, I typically just let my friends and collaborators educate me on such details. So I hadn’t heard of Rashad Becker until a conversation with my friend Cooper Battersby (he’s in CAVE and Bitchin’ Bajas and is an accomplished sound engineer and producer in his own right) when <i>MAKE LIKE</i>’s final mixes were on the horizon. Nick and I were a bit concerned with how robust and dense the low-end of our mixes were. Cooper was thrilled with Rashad’s work mastering CAVE’s album <i>Threace, </i>and he was confident that Rashad’s work on so many incredible bass-heavy electronic music records more than qualified him to help preserve the clarity of our mixes. I looked him up and realised he’d mastered many, many albums I listened to heavily in the aughts (e.g. Lali Puna’s <i>Tridecoder</i> and <i>Scary World Theory</i>, Morr Music’s <i>Blue Skied An’ Clear</i> complilation) and more recently (Fennesz’s <i>Becs </i>and Pantha Du Prince’s <i>Black Noise</i>), so I was determined to work with him, or at least to have someone at Dubplates &amp; Mastering do the job. I think he did exactly what Cooper said he would – he applied a light but firm hand to the mixes, preserving and gently enhancing their clarity and dynamics. He kept the bass-y elements from becoming the muddy over-compressed mess that could have resulted from other engineers and facilities.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: When I first got in touch with you and asked about whether </b><b><i>MAKE LIKE </i></b><b>was going to be released on CD, this sparked a conversation about how frustrating it can be to continue making music when recouping costs has become close to impossible. How big a part does Roommate play in your life, and how do you see that changing in the future?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> I’ve worked various part-time and full-time jobs in the 15 years that Roommate has been a thing, and I’ve been active as an experimental videomaker, and played in other bands (the most recent and active of them being <a href=\"https://thefathercostume.bandcamp.com/\">The Father Costume</a>), so Roommate is one of many projects I’ve juggled in that time. But in terms of the sort of psychological/emotional/psychic presence it’s held in my life, it’s often felt like the central activity of my life, and there have been sustained periods of months during which it has more or less been a second full-time job, particularly during album production, mixing/mastering, release and touring cycles. I stopped writing new material after ‘PEOPLE ON SCREENS,’ I think I wanted those cycles to stop, at least for a while. I wanted a clean break – a break from new material to obsess over, from the costs and logistical headaches of studio recording, from the infinite decisions and minutiae involved in recording, mixing and mastering, and especially from the label/publicist/promotion/business side of it. I didn’t and don’t want to end the band, but I did make a conscious choice to stop participating in the traditional (and seemingly outmoded?) album release model that we and so many of our peers have used for years. That doesn’t mean I won’t record music again, but I am definitely not generating songs the way I did for so many continuous years.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I really don’t know what role Roommate will play in my life in the future, but I’m keeping an open mind about it. In June we had a residency at our favorite Chicago venue The Hideout, which entailed a different show every week for five weeks, with different musicians and songs in each installment, and in the lead up to and during that residency, Roommate felt like two or three full-time jobs. But it was an intensely rewarding experience. It made old songs feel new again, and it involved so many different collaborators: the four-piece at the core of <i>MAKE LIKE</i>, numerous ‘alumni’ from past incarnations of the band, and a few incredible musicians with whom I’d never performed before. There was a program of music videos (including an interactive art-game by Thorne Brandt that will presumably be made public in 2016), a live score to 16mm films performed by Sam Wagster and me, and chamber ensemble versions of a few songs. I came out of the experience with a renewed confidence in the depth of the catalogue, and in the potential for the project to continue to mutate and reincarnate, even if there are no more proper albums for a while, or ever.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: As far as I’m concerned, 2015 has been an absolutely stellar year for music – including outstanding releases by Jenny Hval, </b><a href=\"http://dots-and-loops.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/jim-orourke-simple-songs.html\"><b>Jim O’Rourke</b></a><b> and Björk to name a few – with Roommate’s </b><b><i>MAKE LIKE</i></b><b> as my favourite of them all. Which records have you held close this past year?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> It’s amazing to me that our record would be in the company of, let alone top, those records you mentioned! It does really seem to have been a stellar year for music. I find it difficult to keep up with and fully appreciate music during its initial release cycle. For example, I listened to Dirty Projectors’ <i>Swing Lo Magellan </i>in 2012–13, but it wasn’t until this past summer that I really, really got into it, and 2015 was also the second year in a row that I listened to MGMT’s 2010 album <i>Congratulations </i>semi-obsessively... But that said, in 2015 I spent much time with and got a great deal out of the latest albums by D’Angelo, Holly Herndon, Joanna Newsom, Kendrick Lamar, Julia Holter, Dungen, Sufjan Stevens and Flying Saucer Attack, as well as the Björk and Jim O’Rourke records you mentioned (Jenny Hval is on my radar but I haven’t dug into her music yet) and an amazing work from a large ensemble called Never Enough Hope (it includes Nick Broste and a couple other Roommate alumni, Amy Cimini and Erica Dicker). The composer and leader of the group is Toby Summerfield and the album is called <a href=\"https://tobysummerfield.bandcamp.com/album/the-gravity-of-our-commitment\"><i>The Gravity of Our Commitment</i></a>. It’s phenomenal.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: And finally, what’s with the digital handclap sound that keeps cropping up in </b><b><i>MAKE LIKE</i></b><b>?! </b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> I don’t know, we got a Yamaha drum-pad at some point during the production of the album, and a couple of its clap samples became as crucial to us as a shaker or tambourine. I definitely felt a craving for sort of ’80s science fiction movie atmospheres and textures to be strongly represented on this record, and the handclap sort of encapsulated the fulfillment of that craving, particularly at the ending of ‘WILDERNESS.’ A digital clap through some precisely calibrated delay effects, at particular subdivisions of the beat, is an exquisite thing!</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/hZ_1moCJ2wA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hidden Shoal would like to thank Kent for taking the time to chat with us.

What I hear is a collection of off-kilter, inventive, somewhat post-rock musings.  I say somewhat because while the standard song structure pops through in places, it’s most often warped a bit or coated in curling ambient sounds. It comes out like a soundtrack for wandering through a hazy fog late at night, head down and a little sad. The melancholy factor here is quite high, but beautifully handled, darts of emotion that pack solid punch. The post-rock side of the equation is not as present at the start of the album; it slides in later. “Malayakolam (Rising Sun)” falls more into a drone space. A manipulated chant repeats hypnotically over a building wall of pads and guitar. Tobias bookends the album with this idea—the closer is called “Malayakolam (Setting Sun).” But as soon as the second track kicks in, we’re in a more rhythmic space. “Piraha” has a certain edge-of-tribal cool to its percussion, but offsets it with warbling guitar. Or at least, I think that’s a guitar. Whatever it is, the sound hooks straight into me. From there, most tracks cleave to a post-rock kind of line that’s underscored with the foggy, sad sounds of drone and, throughout, an air of the familiarly exotic. “Xingu” is a piano soundtrack to a walk in the rain, a simple ballad made deeper through atmosphere. “Hiva Oa” pairs slow-picked acoustic guitar and ambient drones that occasionally threaten to rise up in dissonance, but inevitably behave. It creates an interesting “where are we going?” vibe to the piece. “Gharapuri” jettisons us into the album’s darkest space. Here, we’re back with manipulated chant, but it feels more aggressive. The drones underneath have a scary-movie edge to them, a real sense of tension. The fact that it’s followed by the bright, clean acoustic tones of “Nan Madol” shows Tobias’ sense of balance, which is on display throughout. That’s one thing that impressed me about <em>Tristes Tropiques</em>; it’s well balanced between dark and light, heavy and quiet. Also, the longest track here is under six minutes long, yet every track lands with exquisite force.

What I hear is a collection of off-kilter, inventive, somewhat post-rock musings.  I say somewhat because while the standard song structure pops through in places, it’s most often warped a bit or coated in curling ambient sounds. It comes out like a soundtrack for wandering through a hazy fog late at night, head down and a little sad. The melancholy factor here is quite high, but beautifully handled, darts of emotion that pack solid punch. The post-rock side of the equation is not as present at the start of the album; it slides in later. “Malayakolam (Rising Sun)” falls more into a drone space. A manipulated chant repeats hypnotically over a building wall of pads and guitar. Tobias bookends the album with this idea—the closer is called “Malayakolam (Setting Sun).” But as soon as the second track kicks in, we’re in a more rhythmic space. “Piraha” has a certain edge-of-tribal cool to its percussion, but offsets it with warbling guitar. Or at least, I think that’s a guitar. Whatever it is, the sound hooks straight into me. From there, most tracks cleave to a post-rock kind of line that’s underscored with the foggy, sad sounds of drone and, throughout, an air of the familiarly exotic. “Xingu” is a piano soundtrack to a walk in the rain, a simple ballad made deeper through atmosphere. “Hiva Oa” pairs slow-picked acoustic guitar and ambient drones that occasionally threaten to rise up in dissonance, but inevitably behave. It creates an interesting “where are we going?” vibe to the piece. “Gharapuri” jettisons us into the album’s darkest space. Here, we’re back with manipulated chant, but it feels more aggressive. The drones underneath have a scary-movie edge to them, a real sense of tension. The fact that it’s followed by the bright, clean acoustic tones of “Nan Madol” shows Tobias’ sense of balance, which is on display throughout. That’s one thing that impressed me about <em>Tristes Tropiques</em>; it’s well balanced between dark and light, heavy and quiet. Also, the longest track here is under six minutes long, yet every track lands with exquisite force. Tobias loads a more-than-amplke supply of emotion into his work.\r\n\r\n<em>Tristes Tropiques</em> is a vivid, fully realized album that rewards the up-close listen.

Hidden Shoal received the encrypted digital files via a portal in the dark web, accompanied by the following text: “Crisis Actors are not real people. They are a group of actors – Steve Illuminati, Todd Reptilian and Cory Alien – intent on exposing the corruption and lies of mainstream media. They are meta-conspiracists, investigative citizen journalists, and proud patriots, America’s sons.” The digital files comprise five sludgy garage rock salvos, a surge of righteous disgust, a tidal wave of guitar filth set to choke all hypocrites, corporate puppets and environmental rapists in their path. Rumours abound that there may be some link between Crisis Actors and Hidden Shoal labelmates Brother Earth, but such links can be neither confirmed nor denied. Hidden Shoal maintains they are proudly complicit in disseminating these seeds of illumination.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nBased in cities around the globe such as New York, London, Tokyo, Cleveland and Washington DC, Crisis Actors – Steve Illuminati, Todd Reptilian and Cory Alien – first met on 16th June 2015 at Trump Towers in NYC, when the future band members were hired by Donald Trump’s campaign team as paid stand-in supporters for his campaign announcement. Although members of the group have individually taken part in conspiracies all over America and beyond, the Trump campaign announcement was the nexus of their formation. “We thought, on that day, that we would all receive our gift cards for $35 and go home. But once Cory Alien and I started talking about our involvement in past events and our proclivity for music, and Todd Reptilian overheard us, we knew we had something special,” says Steve Illuminati, lead singer of Crisis Actors. “We realised there is a sub-conspiracy going on. At the event, there were paid actors playing paid actors playing real people, possibly hired by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and the real Donald Trump himself was seen behind a curtain while what appeared to be a cyborg of some sort was making his announcement. Re-watch the YouTube videos. It’s all there. We were just able to see it at a better angle.”\r\n\r\nIt was then that Crisis Actors knew they had to expose these deeply entrenched conspiracies plaguing the corporate mainstream media. “When Rand Paul talks about anarcho-capitalism,” Cory Alien chimes in, “you may think he’s talking about individuals’ freedoms, or Koch corporate free-for-alls, but he’s actually planting the seed of a highly technological form of electronic libertarian mind control. Why do you think most smartphones are free when you sign up, but they charge you for security features without your consent?” Todd Reptilian, musical overlord of the band, chimes in, “What we see in America today, it’s all prophesied in the patterns of Ted Cruz’s hair. If you look at his head straight on, you can see the hair go forcefully upwards, then a quick swerve to the left on one side, and a massive swirl directly back on the right. Looking from the top of his head, the future is even scarier.”\r\n\r\nCrisis Actors denounce mainstream media’s controlled narrative that fails to speak about the real issues facing America today. Crisis Actors also denounce the flood of big money in election campaigns, spent on subterranean bus systems to transport reptilian workers and caucus-goers above ground while the general public is oblivious, the scum of special interests trying to willfully confuse American citizens by subliminally injecting naked pictures of Bill O’Reilly in between segments on Fox News, those corporations getting the public to vote against their own interests by creating voting machines that can be controlled by psychokinesis, and the greasy-faced pundits who willfully perpetrate these lies and false narratives for the affection of their corporate overlords and their own economic gain to the peril of their fellow man, nations, and our Earth.\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=crisis-actors-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title] [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=crisis-actors-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n\r\nNo reviews yet, sorry!\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a title=\"White Guilt, White Heat\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/crisis-actors/Crisis_Actors-White_Guilt_White_Heat.pdf\"><em>White Guilt, White Heat</em> EP 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=\"13166,13167\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/hHVLdSxcN6g?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\nCrisis Actors\' music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

This exquisitely subtle and detailed five-track EP resonates with chilly grandeur and heartening warmth. Across spacious vistas reminiscent of the collaborative work of Brian Eno and Harold Budd, delicate yet assured melodies unfurl before being subjected to delicate manipulation. This is enveloping, minimal music with a fragility that belies its emotional potency. Opening with the shimmering piano melodies and tape-chewed ambience of the majestic title track, with detours via the angelic music-box miniature ‘Iceland’ and the glitch-scarred sustain-scapes of ‘Africa’, and concluding with the achingly melancholic ‘Lullaby’, <em>In Between</em> is a perfectly formed release that announces an understated new ambient craftsman.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Growing</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 241px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=265281379/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://kryshe.bandcamp.com/album/growing\">Growing by Kryshe</a></iframe>\r\nJune 2013\r\n<div></div>\r\nThis 40 minute live improvisation in 3 sections was recorded in the Summer of 2013.

Grothe’s musical explorations began by writing and recordings guitar-based songs at home, and over time his approach has become more experimental in nature. His current productions often evolve from live improvisation sessions, incorporating sound-manipulation software such as max/msp to develop a richly layered yet spacious sound. Grothe is also a member of the improvisational trio Unland, featuring ambient artist Jonas Meyer and clarinetist Shabnam Pavaresh.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=kryshe-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=kryshe-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 title=\"Kryshe - \" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/kryshe/In_Between-Press_Release.pdf\">Kryshe <em>In Between</em> Album 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 link=\"file\" ids=\"10297,10301,10300\"]\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/DcbLFCvLlWY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\nKryshe Liveset at Mimis Osnabrück.

Since then, it’s been blasted regularly in the Hidden Shoal offices, and has received an <a href=\"http://dots-and-loops.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/roommate-make-like.html\">extensive review</a> on the blog of Hidden Shoal’s Tim Clarke. After contacting Kent about the release, Tim conducted an illuminating interview with Kent via email.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: This year you released your fourth album as Roommate, </b><b><i>MAKE LIKE</i></b><b>. Listening back to your discography, there’s a clear evolution away from electronic sounds towards a more sophisticated, full-band sound. How do you feel about the album now it’s been out for a while, and how do you see it sitting in relation to the rest of your releases?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> I’m going to quote from my application for the Illinois Arts Council grant that helped fund the album’s release. I wrote this text almost a year ago. Keep in mind that I was trying to convince strangers to give me money, so I come off as more grandiose and less humble than I otherwise might:</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">“I consider the album to be a pinnacle of my own career as songwriter and music producer, and a definitive representation of the band’s transformation from intimate, lo-fi, solo affair to cohesive, creatively ambitious, organically collaborative band… More than any past Roommate album, <i>MAKE LIKE</i> is the result of a collaborative decision-making process, and its songs were arranged for live shows before being translated into recordings. As with past Roommate albums, I wrote all of its songs in solitude. Unlike with past Roommate albums, all of its instrumental arrangements, recording processes and mixing decisions were conducted collectively. Though this album is ultimately a collection of my songs and its production was directed and managed by me, it is a document of a band, of multiple distinct sensibilities converging and diverging to untap and maximise the songs’ emotional, sonic and kinetic potential.”</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A year later, I’m going to quote from your review, it describes very well (and much more concisely) how I feel about the album: “a culmination of all that’s come before it – a distillation of an aesthetic and a refinement of purpose.”</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: Can you tell me a bit about your songwriting process, perhaps giving a couple of examples of how some of the songs on </b><b><i>Make Like </i></b><b>evolved.</b></p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13232\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Make-Like-album-cover.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-13232 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Make-Like-album-cover-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Roommate – MAKE LIKE\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a> Roommate – MAKE LIKE[/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> From 2000 to 2013, I continuously wrote material that eventually became songs on various Roommate albums. Some songs came together very quickly, others existed as pieces and parts, phrases and ideas, for months or even years before they cohered into a complete song. The process was basically me carrying these parts around, in notebooks or in my head, and filtering the stimuli of my daily life into parts that might lock together with pre-existing parts. For example, the line “lodgepoles are all getting eaten alive” in ‘RIOT SIZE’ was something my dad said on a camping trip in 2008 (he was pointing at and describing swaths of forest that had been destroyed by mountain pine beetles). I kept that little piece in my head, along with something about a tiger, and then in 2011, in the midst of the Arab Spring and protests in Wisconsin over collective bargaining, the rest of that song came together within a few weeks, and those little lodgepole and tiger puzzle pieces found their place. By the time I wrote ‘PEOPLE ON SCREENS’ in January 2013, the rest of what would become <i>MAKE LIKE </i>had already been written, and I had a pretty good idea of how it would be sequenced, and of some of its overarching themes. I felt like there needed to be one more song. So I wrote most of ‘PEOPLE ON SCREENS’ in one sitting. I think it came together so quickly because it had all of these other songs to support and inform it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: Your current line-up includes some pretty stellar players who also play in other Chicago bands. Do you have a clear idea of what you want the band to contribute to your songs, or do you let them create their own parts independently? </b></p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13234\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"257\"]<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Roommate-band-shot.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-13234\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Roommate-band-shot-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"Roommate\" width=\"257\" height=\"322\" /></a> Roommate (L–R): Gillian Lisée, Seth Vanek, Kent Lambert, Sam Wagster[/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> It can vary from song to song, but our album arrangements are typically a mixture of parts I’ve come up with and parts that the other players figure out independently, or together as a band in rehearsals and recording sessions. The typical process is that I write the song and record a demo of it on my own, so that my bandmates can learn the song before we get together to arrange it for live shows. The demo will have placeholder drum, bass, synth and vocal parts, basically whatever comes to mind as I quickly try to sketch the song out. I am usually not attached to those parts and encourage my bandmates to replace them with new stuff, but in many cases they get very attached to the demos and sculpt their parts from those placeholder arrangements. On past albums, the demos would typically form the skeletons of the songs’ album versions, with my bandmates and I recording new parts around them (e.g. ‘MY BAD’ and ‘AUGUST SONG’ on <i>Guilty Rainbow</i>), but with <i>MAKE LIKE</i>, we arranged and played the songs live for a while before we worked on them in the studio. In the case of ‘OLD GOLDEN,’ the album arrangement is quite different from the original demo – that song evolved considerably through multiple live arrangements before settling into its album form. By contrast, ‘DANCER HOWL’ is much closer to the demo. The guitar figure that repeats through the verses and early ‘choruses’ is directly taken from the demo (although of course Sam fleshed it out with gorgeous tone and articulation) and we flew in the electronic drum parts from the demo and processed them through outboard gear.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: I find your lyrics and vocal delivery to be incredibly affecting. You manage to strike a difficult balance between the specific and the universal. I’m never exactly certain of what you’re singing about, but I understand what you mean – if that makes sense! At what point in the songwriting process do the lyrics take shape, and do you feel there are certain themes or ideas that recur in your songs?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> It’s extremely gratifying to get that feedback! What you say makes perfect sense to me, and though I’ve never articulated it that way, I’d say that striking that balance (between the specific and the universal, between cerebral ambiguity and emotional clarity) has been an underlying goal of my songs in recent years. I’m not interested in or comfortable with writing literal, confessional songs, but I’m also not interested in escaping into a fantasy or musical genre-fetish persona… I suppose I write songs as some kind of self-therapy. I meditate on my personal world and the social communities around it – my own creative communities, the city of Chicago, and beyond. The lyrics pretty much always come first. I might have some chord fragments or keyboard riffs floating around, waiting for lyrics to bond with, but it’s the lyrics that drive the process and turn the fragments into songs. I try not to analyse my own songs too intensely, I leave that to people like you, but yes, there are definitely themes and ideas that recur. My songs tend to come directly out of my anxieties, and those anxieties certainly have recurring themes. A prominent theme would be my anxiety with my own tremendous, ridiculous privilege as a comfortably employed white American man in the 21st century. I feel a burning itch to reckon with that privilege, to scratch at it, question it and atone for it somehow, I suppose. Other themes that I consciously reflected on while writing <i>MAKE LIKE </i>involved the kind of identity slippage facilitated by social media and immersive video games, the ease with which we can ‘connect’ with childhood friends, casual acquaintances and strangers through status updates and 3D avatars in violent virtual spaces, the beauty and horror that can live on the surface of those experiences, and the loneliness that often lies at their core… Or something like that?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: The production on </b><b><i>MAKE LIKE</i></b><b> is incredibly deep and rich. Can you talk about your relationship with Nick Broste and how you approached production on the album?</b></p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13236\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"330\"]<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Nick-Broste-at-SOMA-Electronic-Music-Studios.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-13236 \" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Nick-Broste-at-SOMA-Electronic-Music-Studios-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Broste at SOMA Electronic Music Studios\" width=\"330\" height=\"186\" /></a> Producer Nick Broste at SOMA Electronic Music Studios, Chicago[/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL: </strong>We’d all known Nick for many years (he’s been a ubiquitous presence in Chicago’s music scene doing live sound and as a trombonist in Mucca Pazza and many other groups) but we’d never recorded with him. In 2012 we played a couple of shows at The Hideout for which he was running sound. We were very pleased with our stage mix and the feedback we got on how it sounded in the room. After one of those shows he told me that during ‘SECRET CLAW’ (a very new song at that point) he’d gotten very creative with the live mix, turning certain elements up and down and manipulating effects at various points in the song, and he sort of pitched the idea of helping us record a new album. We’d always self-produced with the incredible help of our good friend Gerard Barreto, but for a fourth album I was open to changing up the equation. I’d been fortunate enough to accumulate some complimentary recording days at John McEntire’s now-private SOMA Electronic Music Studios (my grandmother’s Mason &amp; Hamlin piano was housed there for a couple of years), so Nick and I made some plans to do a bunch of tracking there. I think Nick was accustomed to a more straightforward recording process, wherein a band more or less documents their live show in the studio, followed by overdubs and mixing. We did a version of that by tracking basic rhythm section parts first, but for us, tracking and mixing are intertwined throughout the entire production process. Our process relies heavily on intuition, experimentation, trial and error – we’d listen to the evolving mixes to try to divine what else needed to be added. Once Nick got used to this process, he dove in headfirst and became a sort of mad sorcerer mastermind. He’d conduct all sorts of experiments with various outboard gear at SOMA (while talking to himself in various Spinal Tap-esque characters), he’d send tracks to tape or through his Memory Man pedal, he’d come up with counter-melodies (the Stereolab-like Farfisa part on ‘OLD GOLDEN’ was his creation) and strange textures... he basically became another member of the band. There were countless hours of tracking and mixing that just involved Nick and me.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-sWkFqdkvPY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC:<i> MAKE LIKE </i></b><b>was mastered by Rashad Becker, who’s pretty legendary among those in the know, and who seems to have an </b><a href=\"http://roberthenke.com/interviews/mastering.html\"><b>exhaustive understanding of audio</b></a><b>. How did you come to work with him? Have there been albums he’s worked on that you admire? What do you feel he brought to the album’s final incarnation?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL: </strong>I don’t tend to pay too much attention to the technical personnel on albums I love, I typically just let my friends and collaborators educate me on such details. So I hadn’t heard of Rashad Becker until a conversation with my friend Cooper Battersby (he’s in CAVE and Bitchin’ Bajas and is an accomplished sound engineer and producer in his own right) when <i>MAKE LIKE</i>’s final mixes were on the horizon. Nick and I were a bit concerned with the robustness and density of the low-end in our mixes. Cooper was thrilled with Rashad’s work mastering CAVE’s album <i>Threace, </i>and he was confident that Rashad’s work on so many incredible bass-heavy electronic music records more than qualified him to help preserve the clarity of our mixes. I looked him up and realised he’d mastered many, many albums I listened to heavily in the aughts (e.g. Lali Puna’s <i>Tridecoder</i> and <i>Scary World Theory</i>, Morr Music’s <i>Blue Skied An’ Clear</i> complilation) and more recently (Fennesz’s <i>Becs </i>and Pantha Du Prince’s <i>Black Noise</i>), so I was determined to work with him, or at least to have someone at Dubplates &amp; Mastering do the job. I think he did exactly what Cooper said he would – he applied a light but firm hand to the mixes, preserving and gently enhancing their clarity and dynamics. He kept the bass-y elements from becoming the muddy over-compressed mess that could have resulted from other engineers and facilities.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: When I first got in touch with you and asked about whether </b><b><i>MAKE LIKE </i></b><b>was going to be released on CD, this sparked a conversation about how frustrating it can be to continue making music when recouping costs has become close to impossible. How big a part does Roommate play in your life, and how do you see that changing in the future?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> I’ve worked various part-time and full-time jobs in the 15 years that Roommate has been a thing, and I’ve been active as an experimental videomaker, and played in other bands (the most recent and active of them being <a href=\"https://thefathercostume.bandcamp.com/\">The Father Costume</a>), so Roommate is one of many projects I’ve juggled in that time. But in terms of the sort of psychological/emotional/psychic presence it’s held in my life, it’s often felt like the central activity of my life, and there have been sustained periods of months during which it has more or less been a second full-time job, particularly during album production, mixing/mastering, release and touring cycles. I stopped writing new material after ‘PEOPLE ON SCREENS,’ I think I wanted those cycles to stop, at least for a while. I wanted a clean break – a break from new material to obsess over, from the costs and logistical headaches of studio recording, from the infinite decisions and minutiae involved in recording, mixing and mastering, and especially from the label/publicist/promotion/business side of it. I didn’t and don’t want to end the band, but I did make a conscious choice to stop participating in the traditional (and seemingly outmoded?) album release model that we and so many of our peers have used for years. That doesn’t mean I won’t record music again, but I am definitely not generating songs the way I did for so many continuous years.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I really don’t know what role Roommate will play in my life in the future, but I’m keeping an open mind about it. In June we had a residency at our favorite Chicago venue The Hideout, which entailed a different show every week for five weeks, with different musicians and songs in each installment, and in the lead up to and during that residency, Roommate felt like two or three full-time jobs. But it was an intensely rewarding experience. It made old songs feel new again, and it involved so many different collaborators: the four-piece at the core of <i>MAKE LIKE</i>, numerous ‘alumni’ from past incarnations of the band, and a few incredible musicians with whom I’d never performed before. There was a program of music videos (including an interactive art-game by Thorne Brandt that will presumably be made public in 2016), a live score to 16mm films performed by Sam Wagster and me, and chamber ensemble versions of a few songs. I came out of the experience with a renewed confidence in the depth of the catalogue, and in the potential for the project to continue to mutate and reincarnate, even if there are no more proper albums for a while, or ever.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>TC: As far as I’m concerned, 2015 has been an absolutely stellar year for music – including outstanding releases by Jenny Hval, </b><a href=\"http://dots-and-loops.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/jim-orourke-simple-songs.html\"><b>Jim O’Rourke</b></a><b> and Björk to name a few – with Roommate’s </b><b><i>MAKE LIKE</i></b><b> as my favourite of them all. Which records have you held close this past year?</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KL:</strong> It’s amazing to me that our record would be in the company of, let alone top, those records you mentioned! It does really seem to have been a stellar year for music. I find it difficult to keep up with and fully appreciate music during its initial release cycle. For example, I listened to Dirty Projectors’ <i>Swing Lo Magellan </i>in 2012–13, but it wasn’t until this past summer that I really, really got into it, and 2015 was also the second year in a row that I listened to MGMT’s 2010 album <i>Congratulations </i>semi-obsessively... But that said, in 2015 I spent much time with and got a great deal out of the latest albums by D’Angelo, Holly Herndon, Joanna Newsom, Kendrick Lamar, Julia Holter, Dungen, Sufjan Stevens and Flying Saucer Attack, as well as the Björk and Jim O’Rourke records you mentioned (Jenny Hval is on my radar but I haven’t dug into her music yet) and an amazing work from a large ensemble called Never Enough Hope (it includes Nick Broste and a couple other Roommate alumni, Amy Cimini and Erica Dicker). The composer and leader of the group is Toby Summerfield and the album is called <a href=\"https://tobysummerfield.bandcamp.com/album/the-gravity-of-our-commitment\"><i>The Gravity of Our Commitment</i></a>.

I definitely felt a craving for sort of ’80s science fiction movie atmospheres and textures to be strongly represented on this record, and the handclap sort of encapsulated the fulfillment of that craving, particularly at the ending of ‘WILDERNESS.’ A digital clap through some precisely calibrated delay effects, at particular subdivisions of the beat, is an exquisite thing!</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/hZ_1moCJ2wA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hidden Shoal would like to thank Kent for taking the time to chat with us.

Hidden Shoal received the encrypted digital files via a portal in the dark web, accompanied by the following text: “Crisis Actors are not real people. They are a group of actors – Steve Illuminati, Todd Reptilian and Cory Alien – intent on exposing the corruption and lies of mainstream media. They are meta-conspiracists, investigative citizen journalists, and proud patriots, America’s sons.” The digital files comprise five sludgy garage rock salvos, a surge of righteous disgust, a tidal wave of guitar filth set to choke all hypocrites, corporate puppets and environmental rapists in their path. Rumours abound that there may be some link between Crisis Actors and Hidden Shoal labelmates Brother Earth, but such links can be neither confirmed nor denied. Hidden Shoal maintains they are proudly complicit in disseminating these seeds of illumination.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nBased in cities around the globe such as New York, London, Tokyo, Cleveland and Washington DC, Crisis Actors – Steve Illuminati, Todd Reptilian and Cory Alien – first met on 16th June 2015 at Trump Towers in NYC, when the future band members were hired by Donald Trump’s campaign team as paid stand-in supporters for his campaign announcement. Although members of the group have individually taken part in conspiracies all over America and beyond, the Trump campaign announcement was the nexus of their formation. “We thought, on that day, that we would all receive our gift cards for $35 and go home. But once Cory Alien and I started talking about our involvement in past events and our proclivity for music, and Todd Reptilian overheard us, we knew we had something special,” says Steve Illuminati, lead singer of Crisis Actors. “We realised there is a sub-conspiracy going on. At the event, there were paid actors playing paid actors playing real people, possibly hired by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and the real Donald Trump himself was seen behind a curtain while what appeared to be a cyborg of some sort was making his announcement. Re-watch the YouTube videos. It’s all there. We were just able to see it at a better angle.”\r\n\r\nIt was then that Crisis Actors knew they had to expose these deeply entrenched conspiracies plaguing the corporate mainstream media. “When Rand Paul talks about anarcho-capitalism,” Cory Alien chimes in, “you may think he’s talking about individuals’ freedoms, or Koch corporate free-for-alls, but he’s actually planting the seed of a highly technological form of electronic libertarian mind control. Why do you think most smartphones are free when you sign up, but they charge you for security features without your consent?” Todd Reptilian, musical overlord of the band, chimes in, “What we see in America today, it’s all prophesied in the patterns of Ted Cruz’s hair. If you look at his head straight on, you can see the hair go forcefully upwards, then a quick swerve to the left on one side, and a massive swirl directly back on the right. Looking from the top of his head, the future is even scarier.”\r\n\r\nCrisis Actors denounce mainstream media’s controlled narrative that fails to speak about the real issues facing America today. Crisis Actors also denounce the flood of big money in election campaigns, spent on subterranean bus systems to transport reptilian workers and caucus-goers above ground while the general public is oblivious, the scum of special interests trying to willfully confuse American citizens by subliminally injecting naked pictures of Bill O’Reilly in between segments on Fox News, those corporations getting the public to vote against their own interests by creating voting machines that can be controlled by psychokinesis, and the greasy-faced pundits who willfully perpetrate these lies and false narratives for the affection of their corporate overlords and their own economic gain to the peril of their fellow man, nations, and our Earth.\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=crisis-actors-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title] [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=crisis-actors-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n\r\nNo reviews yet, sorry!\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a title=\"White Guilt, White Heat\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/crisis-actors/Crisis_Actors-White_Guilt_White_Heat.pdf\"><em>White Guilt, White Heat</em> EP 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=\"13166,13167,13293,13286,13292,13291,13290,13289,13288,13287\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/hHVLdSxcN6g?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\nCrisis Actors\' music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

You said dream pop?\r\n\r\nIt is this double dimension, real and fantasy emerges in tune with its air and light songs.\r\n\r\nLast month appeared Forestry Antiques, a live EP taken from his remarkable appearance at the Grand Théâtre d\'Angers, in the first part of A Singer Must Die.\r\n\r\nFive titles (including one unpublished) to revive this unique and magical moment that the public was able to appreciate Angevin.\r\n\r\nThe icing on the (already) beautiful cake, the object is in free listening and download on the Bandcamp of Kramies.\r\n\r\nA great gift so from an artist to discover and who took our Hexagon affection.\r\n\r\nWith such talent, independent music still has a very bright future.\r\n\r\nDo not pass not next to Kramies because if you do not come to it, come kramies to you. For sure.\"\r\n\r\n- <strong><a title=\"My Best Pop &amp; Rock\" href=\"http://mybestrock.blogg.org/les-sweet-dreams-de-kramies-a119455522\" target=\"_blank\">My Best Pop &amp; Rock</a></strong>','Kramies \"forêts antiques\" Reviewed at My Best Pop & Rock','This is a dream.

The beatmix is quite cool. Hidden Shoal label mate <b>Erik Nilsson</b> (Sweden) brings more air and quiet to the room, but he also adds a spinning buzz to the piano\'s backdrop. Glimpses of an air raid signal blends with a club crowd buzz, and the authenticity of the field recording lifts the \'jazzy\' trumpet, and/or brings even a more jazzy vibe.

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.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>31: Before The Light Fails</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 208px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4084737592/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://antonymes.bandcamp.com/album/31-before-the-light-fails\">31: Before The Light Fails by Antonymes</a></iframe>\r\nMarch 2010\r\n<div></div>\r\n<em>31: Before The Light Fails Pt.1</em> is a personal photographic diary for May 2010, a reminder of day to day activities throughout a fairly ordinary and typical month in Antonymes\' life.

Hazeldine, making music from the wilds of North Wales, a very strange, fantastic, ultimately unreal place of mountains, streams, woods, villages and obscure wilderness. To quote North Welsh poet R. S. Thomas, “to live in Wales is to be conscious at dusk of the spilled blood that went into the making of the wild sky, dyeing the wild rivers in all their courses.” His music begins at the piano, where notes, space and intention combine over time, until a shape appears. This shape is taken into the computer, where it is twisted, gently, and given more detail, until it is fully formed. Composition takes form through patience, probing, occasional accidents, spontaneity and a form of focused daydreaming.\r\n\r\nDebut mini-album <em>Beauty Becomes The Enemy of the Future</em> was released initially on David Newlyn’s Cathedral Transmissions label in December 2009, and as a self-published book in spring 2010. A second 2010 release, <em>31: Before The Light Fails</em>, was released as a digital download and as a special box, an edition of one, containing music and photography, representing Antonymes’ fear and suspicion of the herd mentality. The piece consisted of two tracks to be played simultaneously in separate rooms. Various pieces by Antonymes have appeared on compilations produced by labels Soundcolours, Dezordr, Cathedral Transmissions and Audio Gourmet. The album <em>The Licence To Interpet Dreams</em> was released by Hidden Shoal to widespread critical acclaim in early 2011.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society – <em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long</em> </a> <a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">EP </a>\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Lost_In_Waves_Of_Light.pdf\">Lost In Waves Of Light</a></em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\"><em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> Album</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\">‘Endlessly’ Single</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">Antonymes Signing</a>\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=\"13334,10501,13335,13333,8222,8221,8220,8219\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/U7tLhh8a1lo?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/4senhm9eiTY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\nAntonymes\' music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

It makes sense that Hidden Shoal also exists as a licensing company, many of these compositions, if not already, seem to soundtrack some deeply resonant scenes in films (never made).\"\r\n\r\n- <strong><a title=\"Tome To The Weather Machine\" href=\"http://www.tometotheweathermachine.com/features/2016/01/tape-haul-first-batch\" target=\"_blank\">Tome To The Weather Machine</a></strong>','\"Long Range Transmissions\" Reviewed at Tome To The Weather Machine','','inherit','closed','closed','','13340-revision-v1','','','2016-01-22 14:31:37','2016-01-22 06:31:37','',13340,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/13340-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13342,1,'2016-01-25 14:17:31','2016-01-25 06:17:31','[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\"]\r\n<h1>Markus Mehr</h1>\r\n<img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-10435\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Markus-Mehr-2014-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Markus Mehr\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /><em>“... prepare for a shuddering, near chaotic, kaleidoscopic </em><em>experience as Mehr challenges our and his own </em><em>preconceptions of what “electronica” is, what it represents </em><em>and of what his instrumentation can achieve.”<strong> – Delusions of Adequacy</strong></em>\r\n\r\nMarkus Mehr’s debut, <em>Lava</em>, holds true to its title – it is a dense, steaming surge of glue-thick sound.

While plaintive piano chords suggest openness and possibility, they’re perpetually hemmed in by a claustrophobic industrial throb, creating a tension that aches to be resolved. The first remix, by Hamburg duo <a title=\"incite/\" href=\"http://www.incite.hamburg/\" target=\"_blank\">incite/</a>, ramps up the tension by slicing and dicing the ambient throb into a glitchy tapestry and smothering the piano in sonic gauze. <a title=\"Conga Fever\" href=\"https://soundcloud.com/congafever\" target=\"_blank\">Conga Fever</a> dials back the ambience and juxtaposes the piano against a sun-dappled beatscape. Hidden Shoal labelmate <a title=\"Erik Nilsson\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/erik-nilsson/\" target=\"_blank\">Erik Nilsson</a> makes the piano the focus, bringing in field recordings to create the feeling of a beautiful jazz improvisation taking place on a demolition site.

This special performance includes live orchestra and choir along with visuals by Stefanie Sixt.\r\n\r\nAs Markus Mehr explains in a new interview with Hidden Shoal’s Matthew Tomich, the live performance of ‘Gymnasium/Swarms’, which opened this year’s Modular Festival in Augsburg, Germany, involved Mehr’s collaboration with conductor Michael Kamm, plus the Modular Orchestra and Chamber Choir of Augsburg University. The live video by Florian Strandl depicts the musicians masterful reinterpretation of the music’s evocative, beatless soundworld via the clever use of clocks and Michael Kamm’s conducting. From rustling paper and shuffling feet, to gorgeous sustained choral tones and vibraphone, ‘Gymnasium/Swarms Live with Orchestra’ is a unique performance of a deeply evocative piece of sound art.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>To Set The River On Fire</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 274px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1811294613/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/to-set-the-river-on-fire\">To Set The River On Fire by Chloe March vs. Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nFebruary 2015\r\n<div></div>\r\nThe new EP release To Set The River On Fire opens a window into a new universe of possibilities: Hidden Shoal artists remixing each other’s music. In the first of what we hope will become an ongoing series, English dream-pop artist Chloë March takes on a track from the latest album by German experimentalist Markus Mehr – and vice versa. Listening to ‘Buoy (Chloë March Remix)’ feels like watching Chloë March creep tentatively into Markus Mehr’s shadowy soundworld, casting her radiant voice around the room like torchlight. While on ‘Ember (Markus Mehr Remix)’, the original’s beautifully simple arrangement for voice and piano is trapped within a hall of industrial-sized mirrors, anxiously roving around in search of escape. Each remix complements the other, masterfully re-interpreting the source material while inviting fresh listens to the original.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Binary Rooms</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 406px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3445084080/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/binary-rooms\">Binary Rooms by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nOctober 2014\r\n<div></div>\r\nMehr’s work has seen a subtle shift in scale across his five studio albums. From the widescreen cosmic vistas of <em>Lava</em> to some of the more intimate moments of his 42-minute single-track opus <em>Off</em>, Mehr has now come to examine the most challenging space yet – that of our everyday lives and the spatial narratives that surround us. Mehr’s music has always possessed a keen sense of and negotiation with scale, and on <em>Binary Rooms</em> he challenges notions of personal space, juxtaposing the human against the industrial, the gentle and intimate against the jolting and harsh. Mehr acts as a fragment hunter, meshing machine-like tones with the discarded elements of humanity; narrative with anti-narrative. On <em>Binary Rooms</em> he manages to create a spatial remix – a striking re-design of aural reality filled with a living, digital biology. Experimental filmmaker and Markus Mehr collaborator <a href=\"https://vimeo.com/sixtsense/videos\">Stefanie Sixt</a> has created a stunning new video work for the track \'Gymnasium/Swarms\' which can be viewed in full at <a href=\"https://vimeo.com/105644655\" rel=\"lightbox-video-0\">Vimeo.</a>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Off</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 170px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=398032740/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/off\">Off by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nJanuary 2013\r\n<div></div>\r\n<em>Off</em>  by German experimental ambient artist Markus Mehr, is the third and final part of a trilogy that includes the critically acclaimed releases <em>In</em> and <em>On</em>. <em>Off</em>  is not only the culmination of Markus Mehr’s trilogy, but it may also be the culmination of his career’s work thus far. The single-track album begins in silence, as a thrumming loop gradually emerges. From there, a beautiful piano refrain is introduced, noise ebbs and flows, threatening to engulf the piece, while field recordings and swooningly transportive synth patterns drift into focus. During its 42-minute runtime, the piece immerses the listener in a dizzyingly beautiful soundworld that’s ever-shifting. Certain passages allude to other sequences and samples in the preceding albums, linking the three albums into a kaleidoscopic mobius strip.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>On</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 406px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2332510059/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/on\">On by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nJuly 2012\r\n<div></div>\r\nThe new album <em>On</em> by German experimental ambient artist Markus Mehr, forms the second part of a triptych that also includes recent release <em>In</em> and the forthcoming <em>Off</em>. <em>On</em> is a continuation of the experimental direction of Markus Mehr’s previous releases, with eight diverse tracks employing samples, field recordings and slathers of Mehr’s trademark distorted drones. This approach is apparent right from opener ‘Gonna Make You Mine’, as scything slashes of sound leap from the speakers. Single ‘Flaming Youth’ counterbalances fragments of static against a gorgeous sleepy-eyed loop of mangled lounge-jazz. A track as expansive and moving as ‘Duck Became Swan’ is followed by brief rhythmic piece ‘Olympia’. This tightrope walk between dizzying samples and exacting digital manipulation is walked with aplomb throughout <em>On</em>’s adventurous and thrilling 45-minute runtime. <em>On</em> is preceded by <em>In</em>, the first part of the triptych, which comprises two monumental tracks, ‘Komo’ and ‘Ostinato’, each of which clocks in at around 25 minutes, circling around and building upon hypnotic instrumental motifs. The final part of the triptych, Off, released on 24 January 2013, includes the most epic piece yet, ‘Transit’, which clocks in at 49 minutes and will be performed live in collaboration with video artist Stefanie Sixt, who created the video to Mehr’s single ‘Cousteau’.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>In</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 210px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4000928914/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/in\">In by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nJanuary 2012\r\n<div></div>\r\nMarkus Mehr follows up his stunning debut album <em>Lava</em> with three new releases released over a 12 month period. In is the first part of the triptych, comprising two monumental tracks, ‘Komo’ and ‘Ostinato’, each of which clocks in at around 25 minutes, circling around and building upon hypnotic instrumental motifs. ‘Komo’ gradually emerges from silence, its distant, filtered throb reluctantly revealing its source material – a heartbreaking string part whose emotional impact intensifies as the loop clarifies. ‘Ostinato’ is an altogether darker, gnarlier experience, its string loops chewed into distorted knots which are highlighted by treated guitars and crafted electronics. The second part, <em>On</em>, released on 21 June 2012, takes a more experimental direction, with eight diverse tracks employing samples, field recordings and slathers of Mehr’s trademark distorted drones. And finally, <em>Off</em>, released on 24 January 2013, includes the most epic piece yet, ‘Transit’, which clocks in at 49 minutes and will be performed live in collaboration with video artist Stefanie Sixt, who created the video to Mehr’s single ‘Cousteau’.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Lava</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=634202850/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/lava\">Lava by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nAugust 2010\r\n<div></div>\r\n<em>Lava</em> holds true to its title – it is a dense surge of glue-think sound, making new paths as it pushes through the landscape. But, after any destructive force there is new growth. Green shoots of melody arc out of the surface and populate the terrain as new possibilities emerge. A new master of heartbreaking ambient drone has arrived. These tracks evoke time spent transfixed, gazing through a giant looking glass, waiting wide-eyed as new discoveries are revealed in the album’s textured contours. On epic opener ‘Agenda’, layers of gorgeous synth gradually accumulate into a gloriously massive chord. On single ‘Hubble’, a bedrock of fuzzed drone is decorated with glistening counter-melodies, tracing shards of light across the coal-black skies. ‘Softwar’ builds and then falls away, only to return with a spine-tingling theme that crumbles under its own majesty. <em>Lava</em>’s ability to both suspend the listener in its abstracted liquid vapours and at the same time imprint its affecting narrative is a special thing. It is one of those albums whose emotional impact stays with you long after you feel its last touch.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nBased in Augsburg, south Germany, Markus Mehr’s musical journey began with the guitar. He grew up listening to bands like Black Sabbath and AC/DC, before turning his ears to darker sounds and the ethereal, experimental pop of David Sylvian. After recording and touring with several bands, he struck out on his own with home studio project Aroma.\r\n\r\nNow working under his own name, Mehr wrote and recorded his debut album <em>Lava</em> at his home studio using guitars and synths, plus any noise-making accoutrements at hand – electric shavers, ventilators, electric tooth brushes and field recordings –all processed and distorted to create a gorgeous wall of sound, akin to the classic ’70s Kosmische music of Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, but also the contemporary masters of textured luminosity, Fennesz and Tim Hecker. His follow up albums, <em>In</em>, <em>On</em> and <em>Off </em> pushed the sonic and structural envelope even further and created a triptych of works that stands amongst the most engaging contemporary experimental music of our days.\r\n\r\nMehr’s extensive live performances across Europe include collaborations with visual artist Stefanie Sixt and performances in churches, galleries and large disused gas tanks amongst the more traditional festival shows.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=markus-mehr 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=markus-mehr-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Slow Dancing Society Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/markus-mehr-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/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Live_In_Bari.pdf\"><em>Live in Bari</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Off.pdf\"><em>Off</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Duck_Became_Swan.pdf\">‘Duck Became Swan’ Single Release and Music Video</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Flaming_Youth.pdf\">‘Flaming Youth’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-In.pdf\"><em>In</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Cousteau.pdf\">‘Cousteau’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Lava_Digital_Release.pdf\"><em>Lava</em> Album Digital Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Hubble_Single.pdf\">‘Hubble’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Signing.pdf\">Markus Mehr Signs to Hidden Shoal</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=\"10433,10435,9020,9021,9022,9023,9024,9025,9019\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/NNOsYOGPyik?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ghve0iRVjOI?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/dGRCY37hMm4?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/PcfMLHZZomw?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/1jIYi486n0c?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\nMarkus Mehr\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

His sublime new album, <em> There Can Be No True Beauty Without Decay</em>, has just been released on the wonderful English label Hibernate and is available now as a beautifully packaged CD and in digital format from <a href=\"http://antonymes.bandcamp.com/album/there-can-be-no-true-beauty-without-decay\" target=\"_blank\">Antonymes Bandcamp</a> site.\n\nIn late 2009 Antonymes released <em>Beauty Becomes the Enemy of the Future</em> on Cathedral Transmissions of which the CD is now unavailable. Since then he has revisited the album, which has culminated in this new release. Hazeldine\'s own reworkings are intertwined with those of friends Ian Hawgood, Isnaj Dui, Offthesky, Field Rotation, Wil Bolton, Spheruleus and James Banbury to create an album of captivating melancholy and beauty. The guest reworkings venture into other, darker territories, where one might be harder pressed to identify the original material.\n\nAntonymes fans can also expect a wonderful new album next year through Hidden Shoal as a follow up to the brilliant 2011 release<em> <a href=\"http://antonymes.bandcamp.com/album/the-licence-to-interpret-dreams\">The Licence To Interpret Dreams</a></em>.\n\n[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/112805181\" width=\"100%\" height=\"82\" iframe=\"true\" /]\n<strong>Antonymes - The End Of Everything -ii-</strong>\n\n&nbsp;','Stunning New Antonymes Album out on Hibernate','','inherit','closed','closed','','7354-revision-v1','','','2016-02-03 13:40:22','2016-02-03 05:40:22','',7354,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/7354-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13366,1,'2016-02-03 13:40:22','2016-02-03 05:40:22','<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/antonymes/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/licence_MED.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" />Antonymes</a>\' stunning track \'The Door Towards The Dream\', from the universally acclaimed 2011 album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=49&amp;products_id=167\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em></a>, is featured in a video created by the State Library of Victoria to illustrate <a href=\"http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/audio-video/evolution-library-site\" target=\"_blank\">the evolution of the Library site</a>.

The album is divided into two sides, each a distinct  listening experience in its own right - or, if you choose to digest the  album in its entirety, it\'s a graduated ride from the ambient and  minimal all the way through to the widescreen and guitar-fuelled.  Whichever way you slice it, <em>Hydrozoa </em>is a compelling creature.\n\nFeaturing Antonymes, Boxharp, City of Satellites, Elisa Luu, Hotels,  Iretsu, Jumpel, Liam Singer, Markus Mehr, Mukaizake, My Majestic Star,  Rich Bennett, Salli Lunn, Slow Dancing Society, Stray Ghost, Toby  Richardson, Umpire and Wes Willenbring, <em>Hydrozoa </em>touches all the bases  that make the Hidden Shoal roster unique, and massages them into a  broad-ranging and utterly engaging whole. The release accompanied by a  pdf booklet containing stunning artwork by Hidden Shoal\'s Stuart Medley.\n\n<strong>Download the sampler <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=12&amp;products_id=169\">here</a>.</strong>','New Hidden Shoal Compilation Album Available for Free Download!

The track sits as a wonderful companion piece to the album,  as recognised melodies unfurl, cloaked in new guises. As a work unto  itself it once again places Antonymes at the height of his game,  producing some of the most emotionally and sonically engaging work being  released today.\n\nAntonymes new album <em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> has been met  with universal acclaim since its release in April. It is an album of  resonant beauty, as expansive as the wilds of North Wales from which it  came, yet as delicate and intimate as a loved one’s breath upon your  skin. Each song deploys a modest array of instruments and textures,  giving them ample space to breathe and glow.\n\n<em>“This album is probably the most heartbreaking set of songs I’ve   heard since Bon Iver’s For Emma Forever Ago, or I Am A Bird Now by   Antony And The Johnsons. It’s Brian Eno meets a dagger to the heart....a   record that deserves album of the year, even four months into 2011.”<strong> </strong></em><strong>– Delusions of Adequacy</strong><em> </em><em><strong> </strong></em>\n\n<em><strong> </strong></em>\n\n<em><strong> </strong>“There is so much to experience and so much the music will conjure   for the listener.

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’.\n\nSingle ‘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.\n\n<em>“This album is probably the most heartbreaking set of songs I’ve   heard since Bon Iver’s For Emma Forever Ago, or I Am A Bird Now by   Antony And The Johnsons.

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’.\n\nSingle ‘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.\n\n<em>\"At a time when mainstream music has lost much of its value with  the average consumer, a work such as The Licence To Interpret Dreams  reminds us yet again that while music created solely for commercial  means may suffer, while there are artists such as Antonymes performing  and recording, music as an art-form is alive and kicking.\" </em>- <strong>FutureSequence</strong>\n\nThe first track lifted from the album \'Endlessly\' is also available as a free download.

The label will release the new Antonymes album <em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> on April 21st preceded by the track ‘Endlessly’ along with its stunning video accompaniment on March 10th.\n\nThe music of Antonymes emerges from the adjustments and erasures of ambient and the pace and persistence of minimalism; from the serenity and austerity of Morton Feldman and the profound prettiness of Harold Budd; from the relationship between continuity and repetition; from secrecy, quietness and pause; from thought, from emptiness; from where it is set and where it is setting off to. At the same time definite and a ghostly impression, Antonymes floats free of fixed points while anxiously staying in sight of genres, movements, scenes, connections, contexts and innovations that have piled up and broken down around it.\n\n<em>“sound sketches of enormous, if fragile, beauty”</em> – <strong>The Silent Ballet</strong>\n\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. Antonymes previous work has seen release on labels such as Cathedral Transmissions, Soundcolours, Dezordr, and Audio Gourmet.\n\nRead a full press release <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">here</a> and head to the <a href=\"http://antonymes.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">Antonymes website</a> for more info.','Antonymes Signs to Hidden Shoal','','inherit','closed','closed','','3327-revision-v1','','','2016-02-03 13:42:00','2016-02-03 05:42:00','',3327,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/3327-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13402,1,'2016-02-03 13:43:07','2016-02-03 05:43:07','<img class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Apricot Rail - Dore Strauch\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/dore_MED.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" />We\'re excited to send you the new freely downloadable single and music video from Australian majestic pop instrumentalists Apricot Rail.

A foray into more experimental territory, <em>Quarrels</em> features lusher, denser instrumentation, is rich in ideas yet toys with new levels of restraint. The band’s trademark harmonic guitar passages and syncopation sit beneath languid brass and woodwind, balanced by glitchy electronica, dramatic crescendos and opium-infused oriental explorations; slow, meandering waltzes give way to moments of ethereal lightness and beauty. This music transcends fads and trends to appeal to anyone drawn to beautiful, supple songcraft.\n\n<em>\"Quarrels envelopes the listener like a rain curtain, with Rail’s six individual parts contracting into a tourniquet with exactly the kind of apparent, balmy temperance that actually masks rigid and almost brilliant perfectionism.

All pre-orders come with an immediate FLAC or Mp3 download of the album and a beautiful extended digital booklet is also available for download.\n\nAlmost four years after the release of their acclaimed self-titled debut album, Perth-based multi-instrumental pop sextet Apricot Rail return with their sophomore album <em>Quarrels</em>, which features the singles ‘Basket Press’ and ‘Surry Hills’. A foray into more experimental territory, <em>Quarrels</em> features lusher, denser instrumentation, is rich in ideas yet toys with new levels of restraint. The band’s trademark harmonic guitar passages and syncopation sit beneath languid brass and woodwind, balanced by glitchy electronica, dramatic crescendos and opium-infused oriental explorations; slow, meandering waltzes give way to moments of ethereal lightness and beauty. This music transcends fads and trends to appeal to anyone drawn to beautiful, supple songcraft.\n\n[soundcloud params=\"auto_play=false&amp;show_comments=true\"]https://soundcloud.com/hidden_shoal/apricot-rail-running-with-an[/soundcloud]\nApricot Rail - \'Running With an Egg on a Spoon\'','Apricot Rail&#039;s &quot;Quarrels&quot; Available for CD Pre-Order!','','inherit','closed','closed','','6274-revision-v1','','','2016-02-03 13:43:07','2016-02-03 05:43:07','',6274,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/6274-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13408,1,'2016-02-03 13:43:07','2016-02-03 05:43:07','<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/apricot-rail.jpg\" alt=\"Apricot Rail\" width=\"180\" height=\"122\" />Check this beautiful new <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBYJ6sdcvLo&amp;list=PLC331131EC8DC434C&amp;index=1\">music video</a> for the Apricot Rail track \'Surry Hills\'.

Led by the band’s unmistakably chiming guitars and overlaid with gorgeous woodwinds, the song’s melodic weave soon builds into a triumphant final chapter. The track is a wonderful introduction to Quarrels’ glowing slow burn with its multi-part song structures and beautiful unfurling melodies.\n\nAfter the success of their debut album, ideas for new Apricot Rail songs, including recent single ‘Surry Hills’, were formulated during the band’s extended break late in 2009, after which the songs were road-tested live. The new songs that make up <em>Quarrels</em> maintain a minimalist, restrained and rustic feel typical of Apricot Rail’s debut album, while incorporating a wider palette of instruments and a more expansive feel.\n\nThe track is available now as a <a href=\"https://apricotrail.bandcamp.com/album/basket-press-single\" target=\"_blank\">free download</a> through Hidden Shoal. <em>Quarrels</em> is set to drop on 25 February 2013 with the Perth album launch taking place on 23 February at the Rosemount.\n\n[soundcloud params=\"auto_play=false&amp;show_comments=true\"]https://soundcloud.com/hidden_shoal/apricot-rail-basket-press[/soundcloud]','New Apricot Rail Single - Free Download!','','inherit','closed','closed','','6206-revision-v1','','','2016-02-03 13:43:08','2016-02-03 05:43:08','',6206,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/6206-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13411,1,'2016-02-03 13:43:08','2016-02-03 05:43:08','<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/surryhills_MED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" />Instrumental-pop wizards <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/apricot-rail/\" target=\"_blank\">Apricot Rail</a><em> </em>are supporting experimental rock geniuses <a href=\"http://akronfamily.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Akron/Family</a> on their \'Cosmic Birth Tour\' this coming Tuesday at <a href=\"http://www.mojosbar.com.au/\" target=\"_blank\">Mojos Bar</a> in Fremantle.

The song’s restraint becomes its strength as the hairs on the back of your neck slowly rise.

In November 2008, the then-quintet headed into Kingdom studios under the guidance of Simon Struthers (Umpire, Adam Said Galore, Mukaizake) to record their self-titled debut album, released on Hidden Shoal in 2009. Since its release, the album has been wowing fans and critics alike, with feature album status galore across Australian radio, charting in US college radio (including a number 1!), and receiving glowing reviews left, right and centre.\n\n\'Surry Hills\' is available now as a <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=174\">free download</a> from the Hidden Shoal Store, along with Apricot Rail\'s self-titled debut album.

For one week, all releases covered below will be available from the <a href=\"http://agora.hiddenshoal.com\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> with a 30% discount. Flavoursome!\n\nIn 2009, Hidden Shoal continued to release stunning music from around the world, including debut Hidden Shoal albums from Hotels, HC-B, Tarcutta, Sleeping Me, City Of Satellites and Elisa Luu, sophomore albums from Jumpel and Wes Willenbring, a third album from Sankt Otten, and EPs from Stray Ghost and Down Review (a new collaboration between Arc Lab’s Medard Fischer and Near The Parenthesis’ Tim Arndt).\n\n2009 was also notable for the release of our compilation album <em>A Million Square Miles</em>, a project endeavouring to showcase Western Australian talent to the US (the titular million square miles). After more than three years of sharing independent music far and wide, A Million Square Miles represented a key facet of the Hidden Shoal Recordings story. The album brings together a pair of tracks from each of the then eight WA-based artists on the Hidden Shoal roster: Mukaizake, Apricot Rail, Fall Electric, Glassacre, Toby Richardson, My Majestic Star, The Slow Beings and Tangled Star.\n\n2009 also saw Hidden Shoal join forces with The Caribbean and Scott Solter in a single EP. This not only began a special relationship with the wonderful The Caribbean and created an ongoing avenue for them to release some of their more experimental offerings, but it also began the label’s relationship with Scott Solter, which eventually led us to Boxharp (Scott Solter and Wendy Allen).\n\nHSR046:   Jumpel <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=22&amp;products_id=98\"><em>Deuxieme Bureau</em></a>\nHSR047:   Hotels <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=35&amp;products_id=100\"><em>Where Hearts Go Broke</em></a>\nHSR048:   HC-B <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=36&amp;products_id=102\"><em>Soundcheck For A Missing Movie</em></a>\nHSR049:   The Caribbean <em><a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=37&amp;products_id=103\">Scott Solter Re-Populates The Caribbean</a> EP</em>\nHSR050:   Sleeping Me <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=38&amp;products_id=107\"><em>Cradlesongs</em></a>\nHSR051:   Tarcutta <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=39&amp;products_id=110\"><em>Tarcutta</em></a>\nHSR052:   Tangled Star <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=15&amp;products_id=109\"><em>That Time</em></a> EP\nHSR053:   Apricot Rail <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=111\"><em>Apricot Rail</em></a>\nHSR054:   Down Review <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=41&amp;products_id=115\"><em>From Here, For Anyone</em></a> EP\nHSR055:   Sankt Otten <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=17&amp;products_id=116\"><em>Morgen Wieder Lustig</em></a>\nHSR056:   Elisa Luu <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=42&amp;products_id=117\"><em>Chromatic Sigh</em></a>\nHSR057:   Various artists <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=12&amp;products_id=126\"><em>A Million Square Miles</em></a>\nHSR058:   Wes Willenbring <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=20&amp;products_id=125\"><em>Close, But Not Too Close</em></a>\nHSR059:   Stray Ghost <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=44&amp;products_id=128\"><em>Each Paradise Is A Lost Paradise</em></a> EP\nHSR060:   Mukaizake <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=43&amp;products_id=130\"><em>Unknown Knowns</em></a>\nHSR061:   City Of Satellites <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=34&amp;products_id=129\"><em>Machine Is My Animal</em></a>','2009: A Million Square Miles','','inherit','closed','closed','','4040-revision-v1','','','2016-02-03 13:43:08','2016-02-03 05:43:08','',4040,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/4040-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13416,1,'2016-02-03 13:43:08','2016-02-03 05:43:08','<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/apricot-rail.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"127\" />Here\'s one from the backwaters of last month.

Delicate, bell-like arpeggiated guitar weaves around snaking clarinet and flute, while the beautifully held back yet sanguine rhythm section drives the whole thing into a blurred, sun-soaked horizon. Without losing a drop of empathy for the original’s delicate warmth, Perth-based producer Tin Man (aka Justin Manzano) has managed to deconstruct and morph the track it into a slowly brewing electronic anthem. The remix exudes a loping grandeur that is hard not to abandon yourself to. Rather than forcing its own rhythmic agenda, Tin Man’s ‘Spilt Milk’ remix both amplifies and distills the exquisite feel of the original.\n\n‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=122\">Pouring Milk Out The Window (Tin Man Spilt Milk Remix)</a>’ is available now for free download from the Hidden Shoal Store.

Delicate, bell-like arpeggiated guitars weave around snaking clarinet and flute, while the beautifully held back yet sanguine rhythm section drives the whole thing into a blurred, sun-soaked horizon.\n\nTheir debut album features the wonderfully received single ‘<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=108\">Pouring Milk Out The Window</a>’, an anthem without ever having to be anthemic, a melancholic reverie that never resorts to the emotional ease of sadness. ‘If You Can’t Join Them, Beat Them’, which featured on the 2009 <em>Spunk Singles Club</em> compilation album, is another chiming standout. And gorgeous closing track ‘Halfway House’ weaves in bubbling electronics as the band lead the listener through glowing landscapes and light-drenched vistas.\n\n<em>“this shyly retiring gem is predisposed to a seductive spectral / ethereal head bowed beauty much reminiscent of the Grails in more tender moments.”</em> <strong>– Losing Today on ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’</strong>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=40&amp;products_id=111\"><img src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/galleries/Apricot_Rail/lazy-k-thumbs/Apricot_Rail_Live_1_-_Photo_by_Tom_Cramond.jpg\" width=\"150\" align=\"right\" height=\"100\" />Apricot Rail’s self-titled debut</a> hits the streets on the 4th of July, released through Hidden Shoal Recordings.

Delicate, bell-like arpeggiated guitar weaves around snaking clarinet and flute, while the beautifully held back yet sanguine rhythm section drives the whole thing into a blurred, sun-soaked horizon. ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’ is an anthem without ever having to be anthemic, a melancholic reverie that never resorts to the emotional ease of sadness.\n\nMost instrumental rock suggests the apocalypse is coming. If it is, Apricot Rail are too busy crafting beautiful lilting melodies to care. This Perth quintet have the charm, humour and songwriting nous – and a killer live show – to re-ignite anyone’s belief in music’s subtle, giddy powers.\n\n<em>“The might of, I dunno, Mogwai is still there, but the charm of Múm is also present.

Tin Manzano’s remix of the title track from <em>Machine Is My Animal</em> is a gorgeously seductive instrumental, where restraint and space are as alluring as the sounds blooming across the stereo field. Syntaks bring their trademark wavering dream-gaze to ‘Victor! Burn City Lights’, resulting in a tantalising, sticky web of melody and beats. M-13’s take on ‘Stranger Than Fiction’ bitcrushes the original to produce an incredibly addictive slice of dreamy electroclash. Slow Dancing Society’s remix of ‘Moon in the Sea’ (from <em>The Spook</em> EP) is as epic and mesmerising as anyone familiar with the SDS catalogue would expect. Tim Koch’s restructuring of ‘BMX’ is masterful, rebuilt from the inside out into stunning avant-pop architecture. Jatun renders ‘Control’ as a fuzzed-out shoegaze surge, before Manual (Jonas Munk) closes the album with his remix of ‘Skeletons’, blurry and sensuous as a half-remembered dream. <strong> </strong>\n\n<em>“one long trip through a colorful cosmic cloud with a dreamy,  mysterious flow and a lush underbelly of celestial sounds... swirling  layers of enveloping orchestral harmonies and shooting stars of guitar  bursts and cymbal crashes that add brilliant flairs of vaporous and  heavenly ambience”</em> – <strong>Delusions of Adequacy on Machine Is My Animal</strong>\n\n<em>Remixed</em> is available as an exclusive digital release through the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=34&amp;products_id=187\">Hidden Shoal Store </a>and all good third party online stores.

The album kicks off in fine style with Scott Solter’s remix of ‘Mirror Girl’, on which the in-demand producer, musician and remixer pares back the original’s spidery postpunk guitars to bring a lurching industrial rhythm section to the fore. Markus Mehr’s dizzying take on single ‘Parachutes Forever’ brings sizzling amp hum into juxtaposition against a double-speed guitar loop, snatches of the main groove, and Lasse Skjold Bertelsen’s vocal, while City Of Satellites transform ‘Fast Cars, Clean Bodies’ into a dreamy electro-rock night cruise.\n\n<em>Heresy and Rite</em> producer Jonas Munk (Manual) takes on ‘The Invention of Steel’, rendering the song a brilliant, cascading and hypnotic krautrock jam. Previously unreleased track ‘50 Kisses’ is reworked by TV Baby as a driving, lo-fi chase scene, while ‘White Sight’, also previously unreleased, rounds out the album in fine style, with its main riff simultaneously drunken and laser-guided in intensity.\n\n<em>“... Salli Lunn persistently avoid any repetition or similar themes - and take every opportunity to push their music into new territories and expand on their own musicianship... on Heresy &amp; Rite, this act of innovation and unpredictability delivers with extreme accuracy.”</em> – <strong>No Ripcord</strong>\n\n<em>A Frame of Reference</em> is available as an exclusive digital release through the <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=47&amp;products_id=178\">Hidden Shoal Store</a> and all good third party online stores.

For one week, all releases covered below will be available from the Hidden Shoal Store with a 35% discount. Flavoursome!\n\n2008 saw the release of a fresh new raft of superb albums and EPs, including those by new signings The Slow Beings, Fall Electric and City Of Satellites from Australia, Ghost In The Water and Rich Bennett from the USA, and RL/VL from Ireland. HSR stalwarts Tangled Star, Toby Richardson, My Majestic Star, Iretsu, Slow Dancing Society and Sankt Otten all followed up with some of their most critically acclaimed work. And at the end of the year we released compilation album <em>East–West Section</em>, volume four in our <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=12\">free download series</a>.\n\nAs acclaim for our artists spread internationally, we were delighted to hear that prominent New York radio host DJ Mojo dubbed the label “this generation’s 4AD”.
