Follow on Google News | City of Satellites Debut Album Pre-ReleasedAdelaide, South Australia; Sydney, New South Wales; Perth, Western Australia. Australian music label Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the digital pre-release of the debut album by Australian dream-pop duo City of Satellites.
On single ‘Stranger Than Fiction’, swirling synth sounds, Thomas Diakomichalis’ “equipped with hulking ice tipped chorus’ of synth chime serenades that cast out a colourfully vibrant swirling haze that’s both as demurring as it is intoxicating all the time regaling within a disarming shy eyed aspect brought to the fore by Jarrod’s softly caressing feminine like vocals and arrested by the uplifting backdrops of starry eyed dream weaves - one we suspect for admirers of OMD’s ’Souvenir’” “You know when you catch a faint smell of something that totally spins you out and reminds you of something you haven’t though about since you were six, completely changing your day? City Of Satellites have synthesised this feeling into music… traces of shoegaze heroes M83 and My Bloody Valentine, with faint, androgynous vocals drifting in and out of clarity over a dreamy soundscape… an emotionally exhausting and incredibly satisfying little trip” – Drum Media EP of the Week (The Spook) City of Satellites is an Australian duo from two cities hundreds of miles apart - Jarrod Manuel (vocals, guitar, synths) is based in Adelaide, while Thomas Diakomichalis (drums, synths, production) is based in Sydney. Jarrod and Thomas began writing music inspired by the shoegazer, stoner and grunge heroes of their high school days, but over time they have come to embrace and more deeply explore the sonic palette of the electronic era that helped shape their earlier formative years. Machine Is My Animal is now available in all digital formats, including lossless, from the Hidden Shoal Store and all good third-party digital music stores (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, LaLa, Bandcamp etc). The album will see its official CD release on the 21st of January, 2010.
