Colour Kane Album CD Availability
Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the availability of Colour Kane’s highly acclaimed dream pop masterpiece A Taste Of on CD in the US through Amoeba Music.
“A Taste Of features no shortage of blissed-out material but perhaps no songs are more heavenly than the anthemic “Share My Ease,” “Silya,” and, yes, “Seaside Dream” which constitute as magnificent a sampling of dream-pop as you’re likely to hear in this lifetime. Especially magnificent, the Guthrie collab teleports Colour Kane into another stratosphere altogether for three-and-a-half minutes of pop perfection.” – Textura Magazine
A Taste Of is now available on CD in the US through Hidden Shoal Recordings ongoing partnership with the Los Angeles music store Amoeba Music. The album is available in store as well as via mail order (U.S. and international). All availability information can be found at the HSR Store.

Hidden Shoal Signs The Slow Beings
Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the signing of the Australian ante-indie rock outfit The Slow Beings to its roster of artists.
“Out of the ashes of some of Perth’s finest indie bands (The Bamboos, The Rainyard, The Healers, Header, Tangled Star) The Slow Beings may well be one of indie rock’s new shining lights. The band has a way of delivering wonderfully crafted and composed melodic songs with an almost imperceptible prankishness… Add pop hooks in the twilight, measured turns and twists, an adroit rhythm section and Craig Hallsworth’s warped lyrical genius and then give up trying to imagine…” – Press Release Excerpt.
The label will release The Slow Beings debut masterpiece We Know Why The Earth Moves on the 20th of May, 2008. The first single from the album ‘I Waste the Sea’ will be released on the 22nd of April.
