Excerpt: "City Of Satellites perform atmospheric music with an eerie twist. They play with the spacey and mystic, making a dreamy, slowly gliding expression. The twosome do fine, and 'Moon In The Sea' sort of delivers what its title promises. I see a moon reflection way off the coast line. Promising, very promising." Luna Kafe

Ok, maybe that's a bit of a reach, but the mood of this song, off City Of Satellites' debut EP The Spook , reminds me of that moody 80's vibe that M83 had going on in Saturday's=Youth . For a first EP it's not bad for the aussie band at all. Below I've posted "Sleeping Disgrace" which kind of has a Mew vibe to it as well. This song isn't bad, but if you really wanna hear the gem from the EP, check out the single "Moon In The Sea" on [...]
Excerpt: "Australian label Hidden Shoal has revealed yet another stunning piece of work in the form of City Of Satellites' debut EP The Spook . Though very ethereal and dreamy, City Of Satellites are also quite melodic, which I find to be a nice change amongst the sometimes far too abstract post-rock available these days. The opening track and single 'Moon In The Sea' is the highlight, but the two remaining songs, 'Sleeping In Disgrace' and 'The Spook', are just as gorgeous. Consisting of an eerie dreamscape of spooky synths, weeping guitars and singer Jarrod's frail but beautiful voice, [...]

Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the EP The Spook by Australian post-rock dreampop duo City Of Satellites . The EP follows the release of the incredibly popular and well received debut single ' Moon In The Sea '. Across its three expansive tracks, The Spook covers more musical and emotional ground than most full-length albums. Majestic synthscapes are punctuated by pounding rhythms, melodic themes are afforded the space and time to elegantly unfold, and the whole amounts to so much more than the sum of its [...]

A lazy Sunday in Tampa = a buffet of fresh tracks for our readers! To lead off here's a snazzy remix of Grum's "Woah!" by Young P 3018 which I quite like. This has been getting a lot of play around my place the past few days. MP3: Grum - Woah! (Young P 3018 Remix) Young P 3018 MySpace Page Here's some nice pumping electro-rock from LA-based [...]
Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the single ' Moon In The Sea ' by Australian post-rock dreampop duo City Of Satellites . Taken from their forthcoming debut EP The Spook , 'Moon In The Sea' is the perfect introduction to City Of Satellites' gorgeous sound. Delayed guitars, bass and drums are swathed in an eerie mist of synths and chimes, above which Jarrod Manuel's emotive vocals shine clear and true. Like all the best atmospheric music, the track breathes and throbs with life, ebbing and flowing beautifully throughout, leaving the listener hypnotised [...]
Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the signing of Australian post-rock dreampop duo City Of Satellites . In City Of Satellites' music, raw guitar tones, rich vocal melodies and dynamic percussive rhythms dance and weave around layers of vintage synthesizers, textures and sequences, creating ethereal yet structured electronic pop music. The band flesh out the elegant skeleton of post-rock with the warm, melodic muscle of shoegaze rock, mustering an all-enveloping sound. City Of Satellites' debut EP The Spook will be released on 25th November, 2008 through Hidden Shoal Recordings. The label will release the [...]
