Hidden Shoal alt.pop/rock compilation

Umpire
Now We're Active

Just a reminder that I've also compiled a ten-track compilation of alt.pop/rock stuff from the Hidden Shoal roster that's available for licensing via dots and loops. It kicks off with the dreamy garage-pop of [The] Caseworker's 'National Runner' and concludes with Umpire's majestic 'Cyclones Into Sunshowers', visiting Salli Lunn, Iretsu, Boxharp, Chris Mason, Rich Bennett, Kramies, Glassacre and City Of Satellites along the way. Plenty of melody-driven mastery to fill the air with.

Check out the comp on Soundcloud:

Hidden Shoal artist profile: City of Satellites

City of Satellites

Imagine a Venn diagram with one circle that says 'dream pop' and another that says 'shoegaze rock'. The area where they overlap is a wonderful place. That place is City of Satellites. It's all about synthesis - between electronic beats and live drums; between shimmering keyboards and breathy vocals; between post-rock guitar sounds and rich basswork. The result is dizzyingly beautiful and futuristic music that is perfectly suited to a range of visuals - and has already been heard in episodes of Australian drama Offspring.

The band have released a stunningly expansive EP called The Spook and debut album Machine Is My Animal, from which the single 'BMX' is taken:



The title track of their debut album is included as part of my alt.pop/rock compilation on Soundcloud:
