New Tangled Star EP Released
The Australian music label Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the new Our Man in Eden Hill EP by the Craig Hallsworth-led Australian outfit Tangled Star.
“Their first EP for Hidden Shoal Recordings, the six-song mini It’s Now or Later (2006), was well received. It’s easy to understand that by hearing this new single – if it had anything as good as this one. Tangled Star play melodic and melancholic slow pop. Imagine Magnetic Fields mixed with the Go-Betweens, with a dash of vintage Flying Nun kiwi pop thrown in.” – Luna Kafe
