Haunts live on FBi Radio

Haunts (a new project featuring Matt and Greg along with cellist Peter Hollo) recently dropped by the FBi studio to record a live soundtrack created specifically for the Ears Have Ears program.

The soundtrack entitled Night Begins has just been uploaded to the Feral Media soundcloud page. Listen/download it below.

In other news Haunts will be playing in Sydney on December 1st with Cold House, a new project featuring former Underlapper member Morgan McKellar. Cold House will be launching their debut release Chomp Technical on the night which has just been released via Moontown Tapes.
Check out the release here and if you're in Sydney for the gig catch both acts along with Gentleforce at 401 Hibernian House - 342 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills.

Choking Ibis single

We have just released the Choking Ibis single which is the third and final single from our album Softly Harboured.

In addition to a radio edit of the title track, the single also features some stunning remixes from friends and label mates Option Command, Alpen and Comatone.
The remixes are stylistically diverse and push the track into new musical realms.

Option Command adds his trademark production to create an eerie beat-driven post-rock hybrid, whilst Alpen adds military style percussion and synth bass, bringing out a funkier side certainly not present in the original. To cap it off IDM maestro Comatone takes what is already an epic track and pushes it up a notch, beginning as a haunting post-classical ballad and ending as an IDM glitch freak-out.

If that wasn't enough, the lovely Tessa C. Stevens of Sydney-based music website Pyramid Scheme has directed a film clip for the Option Command remix which you can view on Vimeo here

We are extremely thankful to all the artists involved and are absolutely stoked with the results.

The single marks the end of a chapter for Underlapper as we begin work on new material which will hopefully surface sometime next year. But for now you can listen to the single below or download it for free from the Feral Media bandcamp page here

Strain of Origin II

We are thrilled to have taken part in the second instalment of the Strain of Origin series from Sydney label Feral Media and Brisbane label Lofly.

This time round the call went out to a huge number of artists from around Australia including Outerwaves, AXXONN, Jonathan Boulet, Mr. Maps, Gentleforce, Zeal, Mystery Twin, Dot.AY plus loads more and the resulting compilation is absolutely killer!

Our contribution is a remix of Brisbane artist Ambrose Chapel's track A Small Return to Big Nothing, whilst the wonderful Zeal took on our track Himpory.

Underlapper remix Telafonica

Last year the wonderful Sydney outfit Telafonica began the arduous task of having each track from their amazing album Sleeping With The Fisherman remixed by various artists and then subsequently releasing each tracks remixes as a separate EP on a monthly basis.
The remix EPs have been as varied as the artists involved and the results are nothing short of breathtaking.

We were kindly asked to take part in the project and chose the skewed pop number To Me to remix.
You can listen/download our contribution below or head over to the Telafonica bandcamp site where you can check out all of the remix EPs so far.
In particular our good friend Peter Hollo aka Raven's all Cello reworking of the track There's Something About Your Face.
