Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the release of Triangulating Nature, volume 7 in their free sampler album series, released as part of the label’s sixth birthday celebrations. The album is available for free download from the Hidden Shoal Store.

Triangulating Nature brings together 14 singles from the last 12 months of Hidden Shoal releases – plus an excerpt from ‘Komo’, one of the two epic tracks on Markus Mehr’s In. There’s the dreamy garage pop of [The] Caseworker; the intimate electronica of Elisa Luu; remixes of tracks by City Of Satellites and Salli Lunn; glacial ambient from Scott Solter; the technicolour art-rock of recent signings Wizards of Time – and everything in between. If you need a kaleidoscopic window into what Hidden Shoal has been up to for the last year, look no further.
