The soon to be released latest slice of sonic gorgeousness from My Majestic Star has been chosen as this weeks local feature album on Perth’s awesome RTRFM. Tune in to the airwaves or catch the stream today and be one of the first to hear tracks from the album which sees official release tomorrow (Tuesday, 26th August). The album will be played all week across the station and if that wasn’t enough local listeners can also win copies of the album. RTRFM is busily gearing up for it’s annual fundraiser Radiothon which starts up this Friday. More on that from us later in the week.

In the meantime if you’re quick and you haven’t had the pleasure already you can still download the brilliant new My Majestic Star single for free - available until the album release tomorrow. You have no excuse.

My Majestic Star - and having a reason why My Majestic Star - and having a reason why

Hidden Shoal Recordings is currently being featured as a “Label You Should Know About” at the very excellent Better Than The Van Site. For those of you not in the know, Better Than The Van is a community site that hooks touring bands up with fans, music lovers and general good folk who offer free accommodation. Very cool eh?

Head over to the site to check it out and while you’re there you can stream tracks from the likes of Ghost In The Water, My Majestic Star, Iretsu, The Slow Beings and Monocle.

Why are you still here?

Those of you good music loving folk living somewhere near Orange County would already know about the awesome radio show on KUCI, The Sound Session. If you’re shaking your head sideways in minor embarrassment at this point then head over to the show’s blog and check out the playlists and other info for further convincing. For all you non O.C. types fear not as as you can catch the show online Thursdays 8-10pm (local time) via the KUCI live stream. If you managed to catch the show last week you would have heard the brilliant new My Majestic Star single featured alongside music by our very own Monocle, Autolux, Film School, Wolf Parade, Broken Social Scene and Ratatat to name but a few.

The excellent nordic music blog Eardrums has just featured the new My Majestic Star single ‘and having a reason why‘. Be sure to head over there and discover some wonderful music and free downloads. Highly recommended.

And of course if you haven’t yet tasted the deliciously blurry goodness of ‘and having a reason why’ then head over to the HSR Store where you can download it for free until the new My Majestic Star album is released in late August.
