MUM SMOKES- 'Easy / House Music'(SRP060)
Formed by Jonathan Michell (The Ancients) in 2003, MUM SMOKES were originally a three-piece. Now the band comprises of four songwriters; Michell, Karl Scullin (KES Band), Julian Patterson (Minimum Chips) and - member since 2006 - Justin Fuller (ZOND). Easy / House Music is the second release from MUM SMOKES. Easy / House Music follows on from the band's 2005 debut, Railroads, Chasms and Fantasies. Easy and House Music are two albums made available as one release; the package comprising 31 tracks, the 2 discs nestled in a lovely recycled card wallet with artwork for both albums by Mark Rodda and 2 fold-out posters including full track details. Easy and House Music were recorded at home in Melbourne by MUM SMOKES and mastered by Casey Rice(Tortoise, Dirty Three, Pan.American et al.). Easy was recorded between January 2006 and March 2007, and House Music was recorded between August 2007 and September 2008. The albums are considered by MUM SMOKES to be separate albums coming from distinct periods and distinct recording sessions.

CANON BLUE – Colonies (SRP051)
Canon Blue AKA Daniel James, wrote, recorded, and played almost every instrument on his debut album, Colonies. Colonies is a record that defies its ‘bedroom artist’ origins; covering a range of emotions with its wonderfully textured, sizzling, and gritty electro art-rock.

****The Australia/New Zealand release of Canon Blue’s Colonies comes complete with 4 brand additional tracks lifted off Canon Blue’s previously download-only Halcyon EP.

THE SAND PEBBLES - Ceduna (SRP053)
For their fourth album, The Sand Pebbles shook off the modern world and went to a place where the desert meets the sea. They spent two weeks away from civilization, their provisions being rather minimal; a little food, water, and some psychedelics, and with this in hand they explored the terrain in a town called Ceduna.
‘Dripping with summer haze and '60's psychedelia... It's great stuff, warm and floaty and one of those records you chuck on and kick back to..’-ZAN ROWE, TRIPLE J (CATCH OF THE DAY)
‘A gloriously woozy dreamscape of transportive psychedelia’-BERNARD ZUEL, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
