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: [The] Caseworker

[The] Caseworker

[The] Caseworker are a continent-spanning trio whose music has the feel of a shoegazing Velvet Underground reared by the Flying Nun label – the perfect balance of drone and chime. Their hazy, melodic pop songs have irresistible momentum, but a momentum that's infused with ambiguity and doubt. In my head, [The] Caseworker's songs best suit those funny, downbeat indie movies in which every song on the soundtrack is good, conveying that the director has impeccable music taste!

'National Runner', the addictive opening track on their latest album Letters For Coast, also opens my compilation of Hidden Shoal alt.pop/rock:



There's also a video for the track on my YouTube channel if you want to witness the song as a soundtrack to the athletic prowess of incredible Ethiopian long-distance runner Miruts Yifter:
