Retail Sectors Music Video Released
Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the new music video for the track ‘The First Step To End The Life (Si Begg Remix)‘ taken from The Retail Sectors mini album Foregone Conclusion.
“Electronica pop, catchy like hell… The layers of sound on some of the tracks (the remix parts) are dizzying and yet chilling. The soundscapes of The Retail Sectors’ instrumental music are simple, yet complex… an exciting mini album.” – Luna Kafe review of ‘The First Step To End The Life (Si Begg Remix)’
The video is available for viewing on all major community network sites as well as being featured on HSR TV. The video is also available for viewing and download in high quality Ipod ready Mpeg-4 format from the HSR Store.

The Slow Beings Debut Album Pre-Released
Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the digital release of the debut album We Know Why The Earth Moves from Perth-based ante-indie rock outfit The Slow Beings, ahead of its cd release in June.
“Out of the ashes of some of Perth’s finest indie bands (The Bamboos, The Rainyard, The Healers, Header and the still-active Tangled Star) The Slow Beings may well be one of indie rock’s new shining lights. On their masterful debut We Know Why The Earth Moves The Slow Beings have managed to channel a range of pop and rock influences into something that is uniquely their own… Shifting from Smiths-esque guitar stylings to driving, hook-laden indie rock and country-tinged indie pop, often during the course of one song… The Slow Beings have an innate knack for re-inventing the edges of indie rock and pop, demonstrating reverence for its form and power yet irreverence in its handling.” – Press Release Excerpt
A full press release can be found here and you can stream the entire album in full here. Head over to the HSR Store for all availability information.

New Slow Dancing Society Album in July
Drew Sullivan, AKA Slow Dancing Society, is putting the finishing touches to his eagerly awaited new album. Priest Lake Circa ’88 is the second part of a two-part release that began with the The Slow and Steady Winter, which was released in 2007 to critical acclaim and a position on several best of 2007 lists.
But let’s leave it to the man himself for the full story about the release:
“I’ve managed to take literally ever single artist I’ve ever loved and still love for that matter and placed them into this album. Most of the music that has moved me so much was the music from my childhood, and summer always seemed to be that season that gave me the most memories that still reside in me today and are as vivid as ever. So many different types of music were a part of my childhood that you can find sounds from synth pop to stadium rock all the way through glam metal to the new romantics and on through art rock graciously drenched in reverb!
After relocating back to my hometown from spending what felt like a lifetime in Los Angeles, I was moved to create an album that evoked what my childhood was like and the nostalgic aspect of it and how it’s affected who I am today. In some ways this third album feels like the album I’ve been wanting to make ever since I first started creating music and I don’t honestly see myself making another album like this again. This album is quite personal to me and is a deep glimpse into what music sounds like in my head and how I experience it.”
Priest Lake Circa ’88 will be released on Hidden Shoal Recordings this July. To keep informed of all Slow Dancing Society and other HSR news make sure to subscribe to our mailing list.
