New Glassacre Single Released

November 22nd, 2007

The Australian music label, Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the release of the single ‘September 16th’ by Australian dream popsters Glassacre.

‘September 16th’ sees Glassacre at the height of their craft. The track is a tightly woven, intimately crafted piece of textured pop. Guitars coated in dark honey play against rolling drums as Chris Mason’s haunting vocals ring out across an altered twilight. As the song rallies to a kind of defeated triumph with the repeated vocal line “This is your stop”, everything shifts and the track takes a sharp 90 degree turn into a dark corridor. In true Glassacre style, ‘September 16th’ manages to discretely bridge together two disparate emotional landscapes leaving the listener without view of their origin. - Press Release Excerpt

September 16th’  is available now exclusively from the HSR Store and is bundled with the bonus track ‘Sanctuary’. Both tracks are lifted from the forthcoming Glassacre album Without Sleep to be released in the first quarter of 2008.

New Toby Richardson Single Released

November 20th, 2007

The Australian music label, Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the release of the single ‘Booragoon Lagoon’ by Australian lo-fi rock magician Toby Richardson.

In parts sounding like the B-52’s making out with Polvo in an acid filled spa, ‘Booragoon Lagoon’ is laden with warped hooks winding through beats that speak direct to your dancing parts. It is a mad collision, a rock n roll car crash at an Elvis Presley after party. Richardson has managed to strip the skin off classic rock n roll, re-cover it in fur, jewels and wire and ride it to through a casino. The unbridled and irrepressible feel of this song is hard to deny. - Press Release Excerpt

Booragoon Lagoon’ is available now exclusively from the HSR Store.
