Hidden Shoal Recordings Release Debut City Of Satellites Single

Oct. 23, 2008 - PRLog -- Perth, Western Australia; Adelaide, South Australia; and Sydney, New South Wales. The Australian music label 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 and hungry for more.

Jarrod Manuel (vocals, guitars, synthesizers) and Thomas Diakomichalis (drums, synthesizers, programming) initially began writing music inspired by the shoegazer, stoner and grunge heroes of their high-school days, but over time the influence of the ‘80s music of their formative years has become more pronounced and more deeply explored. The band flesh out the elegant skeleton of post-rock with the warm, melodic muscle of shoegaze rock, mustering an all-enveloping sound that inhabits a sonic space somewhere between The Cure and Mogwai.

‘Moon In The Sea’ is available for free digital download from the HSR Store until the release of City Of Satellites’ debut EP The Spook on November 25th, 2008. The EP will round out what has been an amazing year of releases for the label, including new signings Fall Electric, and fantastic new albums from Hidden Shoal mainstays Sankt Otten and Slow Dancing Society.
