Athalia will release their debut full-length this Summer on Sun Sea Sky Productions. Athalia includes former members of Strictly Ballroom, Meow Meow, and Arca along with current members of Dntel, Frankel, and The Minor Canon.
Described as dark, moody and atmospheric, Athalia covers a wide spectrum of textures, dripping in reverb and delay. Click here to preview tracks from the entire album.

The label will re-release a completely remastered version of Boc Scadet’s much coveted ’Temporary Oceans’ CD which will feature all new artwork and packaging. Plans for a follow-up LP will be announced later in the year.

Mike Allen is hard at work on his third full-length, ‘Sounds From Home’. The album is tentatively due at the beginning of 2009 and will feature contributions from Seestrings, Boc Scadet, and Boy Is Fiction among others.
While earlier releases Cirrhotic (2003) and Mold (2006) continue to haunt and inspire us, we’re told Allen’s next recordings will include influences and themes not yet investigated on previous efforts including but not limited to his pet cockatiel Norman.
Sun Sea Sky Productions has formed partnerships with leading digital music retailers iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic, and Amazon. Soon several out-of-print, current, and exclusive digital releases will be made available through these outlets.
