The Australian music label Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the first single to be taken from the upcoming album Tooth by American duo Ghost In The Water.

‘Clean Sinks and Folded Laundry’ is a majestic slice of electronic pop. The track is both delicate yet expansive, uplifting yet bruised with longing. With ‘Clean Sinks and Folded Laundry’ Ghost In The Water present a luscious and intricate version of what pop music can be. Winding strings, bubbling electronics and the golden vocal tones of Mandy Tensen-Woolery create an undeniably transporting atmosphere. – Press Release Excerpt.

The Australian music label Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the new Our Man in Eden Hill EP by the Craig Hallsworth-led Australian outfit Tangled Star.

“Their first EP for Hidden Shoal Recordings, the six-song mini It’s Now or Later (2006), was well received. It’s easy to understand that by hearing this new single – if it had anything as good as this one. Tangled Star play melodic and melancholic slow pop. Imagine Magnetic Fields mixed with the Go-Betweens, with a dash of vintage Flying Nun kiwi pop thrown in.” – Luna Kafe
