HTRK

HTRK‘s new album Work (work, work) is out this week on Ghostly International and the band will play shows in California and New York to celebrate. Three shows happen in NYC next week: Wednesday, September 14 at Home Sweet Home as part of the Wierd party, then a free show at Sleep No More on Thursday, September 15 and then Saturday, Sept 17 at Secret Project Robot as part of Pendu Disco.

It’s been a tough couple years for the band, originally formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 but now located in London. Bassist Sean Stewart took his own life during the making of the album, leaving surviving members Nigel Yang and Jonnine Standish to finish it. Dark and sensual, tracks like “Eat Yr Heart” and “Sythetik” would’ve fit right in on the soundtrack of an ’80s Michael Mann film. Both of those songs are downloadable at the top of this post. You can stream the whole shebang at Bandcamp.
