CMU Approved
Approved: HTRK
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 21 January 2010
HTRK, pronounced ‘hate rock’, are an experimental trio from Melbourne, who create music out of a shared love of krautrock and David Lynch movies. The result is slow, mechanical percussion (courtesy of an old drum machine), repetitive but infectious bass lines, razor sharp guitar noise, and distracted vocals from frontwoman Jonnine Standish.
The group released a seven track EP, ‘Nostalgia’, through Fire Records in 2007, followed by their debut album, ‘Marry Me Tonight’, last year, courtesy of Blast First Petite, which led to tour support slots with Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Horrors. I would strongly advise you to purchase all of the above records, and head over to Cargo in London tonight, where the band will be headlining, with support from Factory Floor and DJ-style antics from Andrea Parker.
