new album out now! !!!!

yeahhh!!!!!!!

you can get noiseworks, the new faux pas album, at these locations:

you can get it direct from me at the faux pas online store. i breathe deeply into every envelope

you can get it at the sensory projects website – buy the rat vs possum and love connection records while you’re there. hell, buy any sensory projects release and you’ll be rewarded – they’re one of melbourne’s finest labels if i do say so! and they currently have a crazy 3 CDs for the price of 1 sale !!!

or you can pick it up at your local independent record store, such as polyester in melbourne or red eye in sydney. if they don’t have it, ask them to order it in!

update: now on itunes!

thanks for everyone who has supported the record so far, i’m already blown away by the response to it!

pete at gaga has done a great piece on the new record (you can also stream two tracks over there), plus there’s also an interview with me at mess+noise where i talk about a few things, including my love for community radio and the finer details of remixing paul dempsey … its a fauxverload!

plus, if you want to actually hear the record, you can listen to “silver line” and “chasing waterfalls” at this previous blog post – or visit rose quartz for a download of “heroic jam” and a great gushing write-up from max too (thanks max) – or listen to two tracks from the album (“heroic jam” and “vanderbilt”) at soundcloud here, with thanks to gaga.

you’re a ripe tomato, what a gas… what a ring-a-ding broad!

yours sincerely,
frank sinatra!!!!

People were grooving to ‘Chasing Waterfalls’ at the party I Dj’d two nights back. I’m sure I’l have more feedback once people return the post-party comment cards!

Canada.

“Cool Quotes”

“Psychedelic. Balearic. Straight up pop. Call it what you want, this is memorable music.” keytarsandviolins

“Lush, dreamy future pop that just begs you to dive in headfirst, your heart in close second. Just be careful how many times you dip in – you might find yourself blissfully lost in here.” mess+noise

“Impressive elastic strands of plaited sense associations; extract of flashy disco, pastoral swoon and computer exploration.” threethousand

“A total cottage industry – one guy recording, pressing and releasing his own music – and it’s an example of how to do it right from the bottom up.” Stylus

“A manic journey of sounds, bound by neither genre nor era.” Beat

“Cuts-and-pastes big samples with delicately rendered instrumentation. A party jam. Four stars.” Pitchfork
