The announcement follows the success of these releases through digital distribution, as well as enthusiastic worldwide support from radio, press, and of course fans.

The following Hidden Shoal albums and EPs have now been re-released on CD in the US:

Available now from Aquarius Records, San Francisco & Amoeba Music, Los Angeles

Sankt Otten – Wir koennen ja Freunde bleiben
“A grandiose statement that touches the cornerstones of noir film soundtrack, atmospheric rock, jazz and trip-hop” – Boring Machines Disturbs Sleep
Available now from Aquarius Records, San Francisco & Amoeba Music, Los Angeles

The Hero Cycle – Lakes and Ponds
“this gang of seven doesn’t just hint at obvious influences like Built to Spill and Broken Social Scene, but beats what makes those bands great to a pulp and mashes it together into a sound that’s just as nostalgic as it is punchy and innovative” – Avoid Peril

All HSR releases at Aquarius Records, San Francisco will also be available via the store’s mail order service.

Hidden Shoal Recordings will anounce further re-releases over the coming months, including Bury the Sound’s Autumn Magnets EP and Glassacre’s Slow Attack EP.

Hidden Shoal Recordings is an Australian-based independent digital music label with a current catalogue that includes releases slipping between the edges of experimental ambient work, shoegazing pop, post-rock and indie rock. The label has earned a reputation for releasing exciting and engaging new independent music that is not bound by genre or style.
