Venus In Leo LP by HTRK
MIST092LP VENUS IN LEO by HTRK: VINYL LP |
Venus In Leo, the fourth album from HTRK, the duo of Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang. Venus In Leo arrives five years on from Psychic 9-5 Club (Mistletone, 2014). While some much-loved HTRK hallmarks remain—the combination of space and intimacy, the unmistakable interplay between Yang’s guitars and Standish’s vocals—Venus in Leo differs markedly in its energy, returning to HTRK’s underground rock past with the stylistic playfulness and variety of a modern mixtape.

WORK (Work, work) CD by HTRK
MIST047 WORK (WORK, WORK) CD by HTRK |
On Work (work, work), HTRK craft a stark soundscape: achingly slow 808 beats, eerie synth arpeggios, vaporous guitar noise, and Jonnine Standish’s androgynous, detached vocals, dripping with reverb. And yet it’s the careful way the pair combine those elements–organizing and juxtaposing them with a minimalist’s attention to detail–that makes their music so emotionally devastating.
