About HTRK:
Live electronic / noise / avant pop/rock act from Melbourne known for their subtlety of gesture and stubbornly languorous performances, this two-piece is capable of seducing audiences through disciplined waves of sonics, crisp 808 beats and soft, calm threats. From 2007-09, HTRK toured Europe extensively at the personal request of Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Shellac, The Horrors, The Locust and Fuck Buttons. Their defiantly underground pedigree derives from strong associations with the late, great Rowland S. Howard and UK industrial legend Paul Smith whose label Blast First Petite(Pan Sonic, Martin Rev) they are signed to. HTRK sadly lost their bassist to suicide in 2010 but have since returned with a comeback show of “purging… redolent beauty” (NME) at the ICA London and will spend this year touring in support of their forthcoming album entitled “WORK (work, work)”.

About TROPIC OF CANCER:
Words on their latest release, “The Sorrow Of Two Blooms”:
“There are clear, strong references to the gothic digital minimalism of Martin Hannet’s work on Joy Division, and maybe more apt allusions to the skinny Post Punk of Savage Republic, and Faith/Pornography/Seventeen Seconds era The Cure, but unlike many contemporary guardians of this sound, TOC’s misanthropy is articulated with exquisite production values closer to those of Grouper or Broadcast, making their introversion that much more tangible and heart-breakingly glorious. Of these three songs, ‘Dive (Wheel Of The Law)’ is the most affecting; Camella Lobo’s lamenting vocals sigh for your sins while a malnourished drum machine paces echoic alley space like a Kafka character tortuously trapped in his misanthropy, plangent guitars precipitate a cold grey drizzle. This is severely dank, uncompromising material, and therein lies its beauty.” – Boomkat
