MINT CONDITION - SEALED IN SHRINK. 

Melbourne singer songwriter Claire Birchall returns with a new solo album of dark and personal pop songs. A “gothic” tapestry of carefully articulated layered melodies, multifarious, diverse and divergent instrumentation, adorned with vocals that duck and weave around each other in often surprising and experimental patterns. The Haunting is a moodier and, at times heavier, and more emotionally complex album than its predecessor Running in Slow Motion (itLP016 2020). Inspired by nightmares, fairy tales and ghost stories, the songs describe themes of loss, fear, grief, sadness and anxiety.

A truly exploratory musician Claire has delved deeper into the synth world. Having added a new array of vintage and modern synths and drum machines to her collection, she also incorporated more organic and vintage instruments into the mix, Such as the piano she learned to play music on as a child, a 100 year old pump organ, a 1970s Yamaha organ, a Japanese taisho koto (electric drone harp), guitars and percussion.

The Haunting sees Claire’s songcraft bloom into a more fully fleshed out and expansive soundscape. An album that blurs the boundaries between rock and pop, electronic and analogue. Traversing a heady mix of genre, tempo. Invoking everything from edgy disco to anguished torch song.

 

* Did you know IT Records is a local indie label run by one of our staff? Long-time Dixons employee Kate Reid runs the label when she's not in the shop selling records for us. Here is a little bit about the label:

It Records is a niche independent label out of Melbourne Australia, with a unique roster that includes electronic, rock, pop and experimental artists, drawn from diverse genres with a “dark” bent (eg. Post- punk, darkwave, Leftfield, Psych Rock, neofolk, industrial, and synth-wave). Founded in 2014 the label is very much centred in the Melbourne underground scene, the label includes work from emerging artists as well as established and influential musicians. Drawing a parallel between what these artists are doing now and the influence of the music that has come out of the Melbourne and Australian underground in the past.
