RICHARD IN YOUR MIND
SUN – CD or LP

“We have always written about the sun,” says Richard Cartwright. “The constant rotation of our planet has meant that we are offered a cleansing, regenerative opportunity every 24 hours with the sun’s rising. All life is dependent on the sun, and in honour of our appreciation of the forces that created our sun, and indeed the universe in which our sun is situated we have called our latest and 3rd album, SUN. We’re really happy with the results, hope you like it too.”

DONNY BENÉT
DON’T HOLD BACK – CD/DVD

2011 has heralded the new era of Donny Benét. Due to the apparent lack of interest in disco accordian and Jazz bass playing Donny has taken the plunge and recorded his debut album in the famous Donny Land Studios. Armed with a Drum Machine, Fender Rhodes and a Moog Synthesizer with a pitch bender that won’t stop, Donny has worked hard to create an album that will hopefully make him the most famous disco accordian/jazz bassist of the 21st century.

SEEKAE
+Dome CD

+Dome is percussive, loud and exciting at times – reserved and laid back at others, but every track oozes a warm feeling that could only be described as Seekae. The Sound Of Tree’s Falling On People, first introduced Seekae’s mastery for creating intricate, beat-driven tunes, +Dome is more than just a follow up, it’s a new beginning.

STRAIGHT ARROWS
It’s Happening CD

Graduating into the realm of MEDIUM FIDELITY, the group moved into Tim Done’s home/studio/archaic equipment museum, HANGING TREE, for a few days and recorded direct into his STRICTLY 1950s equipment, resulting in a release where almost all of the instruments can be heard. Mixing with the awesomeness that is Brent Griffin/SPOD, the record took on a fuzzed, melodic, and reverberated budget psychedelic bent.

Now, finally, it’s here, it’s nearly Summer, it’s ready, it’s hot, IT’S HAPPENING! “…and it sounds fucking awesome!”

IT’S HAPPENING WILL BE RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 19th 2010

RICHARD IN YOUR MIND
My Volcano CD

My Volcano sees the band expanding their musical vision ever outwards, traversing through fields of lush psychedelia, Odelay-esque party jams, lo-fi antifolk and tribal freak-outs. Richard In Your Mind’s ability to write such an incredibly eclectic record is an obvious achievement.

RICHARD IN YOUR MIND
The Summertime EP

From the early 90s hip-hop flavours of ‘Make It Chill’ through to the frenetic 60s- meets-now explosion that is ‘Summertime Boogie (do the)’, RIYM have crafted a super-fun half hour of music, best served with BBQs, beach volleyball and tasty, tasty naan bread.

RIN008

SEJA
We Have Secrets But Nobody Cares CD

Seja’s debut solo record is a synth laden pop dream. The albums context is modern, and lyrically a touch hard-nosed, too busy living the present to be looking over its shoulder, ala ‘80s fans and alumni M83, granted it’s always in a dream. Crumbly, hand-crafted synth tones throughout.

RIN006

SEEKAE
The Sound Of Trees Falling On People CD

Seekae’s style shifts between ambient, glitch and hip hop, and surfs between the varying electronic sounds if Xela, Boards of Canada and Telefon Tel Aviv via the pop affability of Hot Chip. Somewhat appropriately seekae have dubbed their sound “ghetto ambient”.
FBI Album of the week and described by Rolling Stone as “an album thats as ambient and mezmerizing as an iced-over forest” – 4 STARS

SHADY LANE
Here We Go, Down The Black Hole CD

The sound on their Debut album is a melange of simple folk songs, beautiful atmospheric pop, instrumental electronica, field recordings and a few noisy beats.

A stunning debut, its an electronic pop ride in he same vein as The Postal Service and Aphex Twin.

MINIATURE SUBMARINES
The Little Room Under The Stairs 7″

Miniature Submarines is a vehicle for the solo recordings of Mark Nelson, otherwise known for his work in Melbourne band The Stabs. Stylistically the Submarines music couldn’t be further removed from The Stabs sound – this is unashamedly an exercise in pop.

RIN003

TALONS
Talons CD

Talons debut album released in May 2009.

Sydney trio Talons are perfectly of their time and that time is right this minute. Dancing and Thrashing upon a highwire act this proto-punk band are blanced in a tug of war between melody and and bristling, visceral energy.

Talons are now defunct. This was their debut album and their focus on perfection. It fucking rules.

RIN002

TRAPS
Standard Life 7″

This Limited 7″ from Sydney’s Traps features the tracks Standard Life and Brainwasher. Standard Life is a track fused with off kilter guitars and complimented by hypnotic vocals.

The B side Brainwasher is a song composed almost entirely on a Casio keyboard fed through washing delays, distortion and flangers creating an erie vibe, a side of Traps not yet heard.

SPOD
Superfrenz CD

The instrumentation of these recordings range from game boys and other video game machines, live drums, keys, piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass, this, creating at bare minimum, an eclectic record of all sorts. SPOD recorded and produced the entire record independently in the various studios. Then on to dealings with the genius mixing works of Mirko Vogel (sekiden), cameo appearance from Jonboyrock on track ‘Dead’ (hard ons) and finally Shellac’s own Bob Weston mastering the record (woo!). This album also includes a real deal bonus secret track sh……, only available on the cd!
