If you’ve yet to download Liam Singer’s gorgeous single ‘Winter Weeds’, pop along to the Hidden Shoal Store and do so now. It’s ace. Melbourne’s Beat Magazine gave ‘Winter Weeds’ single of the week. Hoorah!
Dislocatia, the stunning album from which ‘Winter Weeds’ is taken, is out on 5 October.
Hidden Shoal Recordings has announced the digital pre-release of the eagerly awaited fourth album by US ambient artist Slow Dancing Society.
Following on from the ebullient warmth of the critically acclaimed Priest Lake Circa ’88, Under The Sodium Lights is Drew Sullivan’s latest ambient epic. The album feels like a distillation of the three stunning releases that preceded it – and as such is Sullivan’s finest work to date. The delicate interplay between focused melodic details and blurred washes of sound draws the listener into a hypnotic state, where the waking world and the world of sleep cascade in and out of balance.
Under The Sodium Lights resonates with a rich emotional core – and the choking realisation of our own transience. The album rewards immersive listening from start to finish, to really soak in its beauty.
“a complexity of sound that allows it to stand out from traditionally ambient music… It is easy to get dissolved in this album, to let yourself fall into meditation as the music plays… Textures and timbre are executed with great precision… Even the simplest of songs allow complimentary textures to be layered upon each other to create a robust yet spacious sound… an aural delight for the listener.” – The Silent Ballet on Priest Lake Circa ’88
Under The Sodium Lights is available now as a digital pre-release followed by the official CD release on 30 September 2010 (pre-order now available via n5Mailorder). Head to the Hidden Shoal Store for all availability details. Read a full press release here.

As an Australian label, we’re always tickled pink when an Australian rag picks up one of our artist’s albums and gets a kick out of it. This week is one of those moments. Our dreampop duo Boxharp gained the attention of Melbourne’s Beat magazine with their album The Green. Have a read of the review here.
