We’re very proud, pleased and excited to be the first label to introduce the powers of Bell Towers to the world. After a long hiatus, (Canyons had an album to finish) Hole in the Sky is back in full force.

Bell Towers is the production guise of Rohan Bell-Towers aka Roman Wafers, the visionary behind Melbourne’s renowned club utopia Bamboo Musik. Here the fringe dweller resurrects the raw energy of pioneering Chi house minimalists and the absurd wit of YMO, on two tracks of hard-edged dancefloor menace. With jacking drum machines and worming synths, Scavengers takes you on a ride to the post-apocalyptic underground where bin rummagers fight for survival, while the acidic flip Private Time Dub documents what Bell Towers does best with a moment’s solitude.

12″ out 5 December 2011, available from the usual outlets.

Bonus brand new mix Bell Towers put together to help spread the word.

Bell Towers Mix

The POND story echoes few of those before with Jay Watson, Paisley Adams and Joseph Orion starting the band under a Mulberry tree in Mulberia, Daglish; a quiet suburb in Perth, to perform at a party they had agreed to attend that evening. So they invented a band and an album that later became ‘Psychedelic Mango’.

POND write everything and anything that sticks in their goldfish like memories long enough to pen down. The rest is just up to chance. This means their live show is a swirling carousel of assorted sounds, lights, bubbles, friends, freaks and songs that transform every time they pass you by.

So far that carousel has allowed Pond to record four studio albums: Psychedelic Mango, Corridors of Blissterday, Shit! A Cosmic Jam! (under the name Space Lime Peacock), and now… FROND.

FROND is released around the planet on the 6th of September and will be available digitally, as a beautifully packaged CD and on vinyl.
