New Tangled Star Single Released, Free Download Available

May 15, 2009 - PRLog -- The Australian music label Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of ‘seabirdtown’, the new single by Tangled Star, taken from their forthcoming That Time EP.

‘seabirdtown’ opens with the expansive open air sound of Pink Floyd-style organs and spatial guitars before falling into an earthbound shuffle and a taste of a lush, full-band sound for Tangled Star. The song’s gradual build to a towering edifice of glowing overdriven guitar, droning organ and harmony vocals is topped off by an echoed guitar line that sketches glistening arcs in the stratosphere. ¬¬¬

The single is indicative of That Time’s strengths as a louder more flowing version of the melodic, evocative spaces of Tangled Star’s twilight pop songs. A lesson in how to get ahead while treading water...

That Time is the follow up to recently re-issued Tangled Star EP Our Man In Eden Hill which features the sublime pop genius of the EP’s lead single ‘tosleepingpeople’.

“the same surging, warmly anthemic sound of stellar forebears galore, each sonically different — the Triffids, Died Pretty, perhaps most inevitably the Go-Betweens — but which altogether seem to capture a sense and a style more than might be guessed, something detailed, mournful, and a little crushing even at its strongest” – AMG on Our Man In Eden Hill

The band features the inimitable talents of Perth musical luminaries Craig Hallsworth (The Slow Beings, Outstation, Bamboos) and Lorne Clements (The Slow Beings, A Minor Ache, Bing, Chimpy) and Jim Butterworth (Outstation).

“In my opinion one of the most underrated West Australian songwriters of all time.” Dave Cutbush on Craig Hallsworth, Music Director, RTRFM.

‘seabirdtown’ is available for free download from the Hidden Shoal Store until the release of the That Time EP on June 11th.
