Choking Ibis (Option Command Remix)

The wonderful Option Command (aka Martyn Palmer) has delivered his remix of our track Choking Ibis and, as you will hear it is superb!

Martyn has recently released his debut EP Horizon Glows under his Option Command guise, in addition to his work as Broken Chip. He is an amazing artist and certainly someone to keep an eye on.

The remix will be included as a B-side on our third and final single from our album Softly Harboured and should be available soon, but for now check out the remix below.

Postfolkrocktronica Picnic @ Cockatoo Island

We are super excited to be playing a very special event amongst the amazing surrounds of Sydney's Cockatoo Island in November. Curated by FBi Radio's Utility Fog, the aptly titled 'Postfolkrocktronica Picnic' will play host to Pimmon, Option Command, Thomas William (aka Cleptoclectics), AFXJIM, Ollie Brown of Icarus playing a solo set and also as a duo with Raven and last but not least Underlapper.

Due to prior engagements we will be playing without a rhythm section, therefore we have decided to play a special one-off electronic set attempting tracks that we've never played live before.

Come along and enjoy some amazing music at one of Sydney's most breathtaking venues!

Tickets can be purchased here and you can find more information about the event here

The second single from our latest album Softly Harboured is now available as a free download. The single includes remixes of the title track by Telafonica, Loopsnake and Ben Kinsman, as well as a bonus remix of album track Kandos by Collarbones.
