Perth, Western Australia May 2007.

1 Year, 18 Releases
With 18 critically received releases over the past year, Hidden Shoal Recordings has consistently released music that shows a devotion to quality regardless of fleeting notions of genre and fashion.

The label is a unique marriage of contemporary distribution, marketing and publicity with traditional indie label values and, most importantly, a wonderfully curated catalogue of releases.

“Aussie-based Hidden Shoal Recordings is pioneering the brave new world of labels dedicated to digital download albums, dispensing with expensive CD production altogether. With a broad and open-ended repertoire of independent artists from around the world it seems the only criteria is quality.”
-Ambient Music Guide

“another fine example of the label’s rise in the ambient electronica field, as they continually showcase new, innovative artists to the masses”
—The Silent Ballet
