Tame Impala’s desolation rock crosses over. One way to understand Perth is to read hometown hero Tim Winton’s Cloudstreet, an earthy novel about two families that occupy a great, creaky house in the city during ... read more

Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the official release of Terrane , the debut album by Australian experimental/ambient duo Gilded . The album is now available for purchase on CD and digitally . Gilded brings together the similar but distinct musical directions of West Australian experimental musicians Matt Rösner and Adam Trainer, forging a new approach to composition and sound creation that is based as much around rhythm and repetition as it is around drone and abstraction. The pair have released work seperately on labels such as 12K, Room40, hellosQuare, New Weird Australia, and [...]
Arguably the track that brings Mehr's On into clearest focus is the penultimate one, “Monks On The Beach,” less for the irreverence of its title than for the conceptual MO evidenced by its construction—specifically the idea of pairing Gregorian Chant with animated, field-recorded conversations in a single piece. In contrast to its predecessor, In , the first part of Mehr's In-On-Off triptych, On doesn't present two long-form compositions but instead eight experimental constructions of more modest length ( Off , featuring a single, forty-nine-minute epic, is scheduled for early 2013 [...]

Gilded 's sublime debut album Terrane has been getting some glowing press leading up to its release. Check out this lovely write up on the single 'Cluttered Room' at Mess & Noise and then read this beautiful review of the album at The Thousands. "Terrane studies closely the absorbing power of such immersive, tactile textures, but the melodies are as striking, more akin to incidental forces of nature breaking through natural ambience than mere musical phrases. Anyway, enough words, there’s nothing that sounds quite like Gilded." - The [...]

Sterosonic returns in late November
Puede que no hayamos hablado mucho de Teen Daze en el pasado, pero este joven canadiense captó nuestra atención gracias a sensibles melodías electrónicas y viajes psicodélicos de teclados hace bastante. Este año editó su primer disco de estudio –después de una seguidilla de EPs muy prometedores- titulado All of Us, Together . Pero es tan prolífico que ya está a punto de editar otro disco más , y podemos escuchar un nuevo adelanto . El nombre del nuevo disco será [...]

I've only heard a couple bad remixes of this song, but as far as the good ones go, this one is phenomenal. Hannes Fischer can virtually do no wrong at this point. Who would have though the man who emailed us music asking for a post over a year ago would be continually amazing us? Perth is almost as perfect of a song that can be made, but Hannes makes it that much more great. [...]

**** Hannes Fischer is slowly but surely creeping up on my go to producers list. He caught my attention about a month ago with his slightly sped-up edit of Moon Boot 's instaclassic jam "Got Somebody" (filters not included). More currently, Fischer released a remix of Bon Iver 's gorgeous track "Perth", baring light to his versatility as a producer. Fischer adds a steady beat to the song while still keeping the intended ambiance of the original track. Bon Iver fans rest assured; integrity has been upheld. ______________________________ _______________ [...]

Here's a smooth and elegant remix by Hannes Fischer for Bon Iver's "Perth." As usual Berlin-based producer gives his brilliant touch, taking his own vision and "painting" his own picture. In case you're not familiarized with the music of this young producer, you should take some time and check his Soundcloud. Believe me, you will [...]

Bon Iver is one of the more tricky artists to remix, and for just about everybody, I would recommend not even to attempt it. Teen Daze though, is one Canadian I trust, and again he comes through, adding enormous bass and underlying synths to the beauty, “Perth”. He somehow makes the song even more mysterious and haunting. Listen below:

When the folksy-folks of Grammy award winning band BON IVER announced their ‘ Bon Iver: Stems Project ’ competition, alarm bells rang. Designed to “result in a complete fan-inspired recreation of the band's critically acclaimed and most recent album through the art of remixing”, I was left anticipating an onslaught of oh-so-wrong attempts. Some things are better left untouched, and my beloved bearded musical god Justin Vernon and co. qualified under that. But when this oh-so-right remix of ‘Perth’ by TEEN DAZE [...]
