We are HIGHLY stoked to announce that Seth Frightening will be supporting Jonsi of the band Sigur Ros for two of his ’solo’ shows in Australia in August!

jónsi and his four-piece band have teamed up with the stage production company 59 productions & Phil Eddolls to create a cross-artform live stage show bringing together the worlds of film, art installation, theatre performance, animation and live concert.

We are slightly out of our league here… Should be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

2nd August - Enmore Theatre, Sydney
4th August - Palace Theatre, Melbourne

Today we officially welcome to the crew Richard Larsen and Rowan Pierce, a.k.a Glass Vaults! They are yet another sweet band sneaking out of Newtown, Wellington and here is their first wonderful offering.

SCR006 - Glass Vaults, ‘Glass EP’ :
Richard and Rowan have taken their guitars, voices, drums and dream-triggering gadgetry, drenched them in the vapour of clouds and given birth to an intimate and sentimental sonic experience. It sounds like nature is patient and melodious on the farm where this here EP was recorded! Five beautiful pop delights with the added bonus of lost-in-the-ocean vibes, all freely downloadable from > here and soon to take physical form.

CHUR!

Making sounds in Mathius’ studio in Melbourne.

We are very happy that Glass Vaults (prev. Vaults) of Wellington are soon to permeate the Sonorous Circular skin with their first EP, that which is a cloud-dwelling pop delight: WEDNESDAY 16TH JUNE AHOY!

In other news. I am currently in Melbourne working on the new Perpetual Balance (prev. 100 Suns) release with Mathius. Last night we wandered a few strange places and have some interesting sounds to work with. Fun to be had. Floods of music to follow. We shall talk soon!

Much love.
Thomas.

We’re stoked for our friend Gary Gilmour to be the first new release on the relaunched and iconic NZ label, Flying Nun! Nice one. Wellington release support from Seth Frightening and Vaults.
