Tangled Star Mini Album Official Release
Hidden Shoal Recordings have announced the official release of the stunning mini album, “It’s Now or Later” by the Craig Hallsworth led Australian outfit, Tangled Star.
“Distilling elements of indie rock and alt country married with Hallsworth’s wonderful dust and liquor coated vocals and twisting lyrics, “It’s Now or Later” weaves it’s own magic place. Through its exultant shifts and wandering detours the album manages to make once familiar territory foreign and offset. The album’s title talks to the wonderful paradox infused within each song both musically and lyrically. This is the apathetic’s guide to caring too much.” Press Release Excerpt
The album is now available from iTunes, eMusic, Sony Connect and the HSR Store. See all store details and preview the album here.
