Excerpt - “With this release, Hidden Shoal Recordings continues to cement itself in my consciousness as the label to watch for gorgeous new music. First Glassacre, then My Majestic Star and Dilatazione, and now Slow Dancing Society, all on repeat play, dancing around my head like bright, sparkling galaxies of rich, life-affirming sound…..Discernible melodies seep through the gauzy synths and nag at your brain until serotonin is gradually carried throughout your body and you realise you’re floating an inch below the ceiling.”
Excerpt - “The opening two tracks “Wendy Carlos” and “Solo in una strada affollata” are beautiful, running into one another seamlessly, setting the tone for the rest of the record: these guys can play. From there, they show how you can include vocals in an instrumental record without it sounding shit (”Cendre in” and “Cendre out”), how to make drums sound really cool by feeding them through a phaser (”Ivano Menchetti”), and how to end an album by setting up a heavenly wall of guitars, repeating them over and over until the listener is rapt with wonder, and then abruptly cutting out, like Talk Talk’s majestic “Ascension Day” off Laughing Stock (”Tutto si dimentica”).”
Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the pre-release of “Fining”, the new EP by the Australian ambient rock project My Majestic Star.
