Heathcote Blue — Parallel Parks

Heathcote Blue’s first single of 2024 is ‘Parallel Parks.’ The guitars, drum groove, and smooth multitracked vocal give this one such buoyancy. It feels like a lighter moment on the upcoming album, but as with much of Heathcote Blue’s fare, there’s a subtle, ever-present melancholy that adds so much character.

The full record While Away is due February 2024.

Recorded and mixed by Rhien Tan
Mastered by Dan O'Connor at ENCODER Sound.

Montana Wildhack — Sanderling

Sanderling is the new EP from Montana Wildhack. It’s sometimes dreamy, occassionally crunchy, and always deeply grooving. The music and production has a kind of retro timelessness about it which is really nice.

The track ‘Slow Country’ is in the RTRFM Sound Selection for the week starting January 22nd, 2024.

Scientia and Tenebrae — A Trilogy of Postcards

Scientia and Tenebrae collaborate to produce the video album A Trilogy of Postcards, out now on Burnt Seed Records. It’s textural music that uses field recordings and synthesiser, the kind of thing that washes over the listener in waves. Tenebrae’s visual contribution is a trippy distortion of landscape video.
