For those of you who don’t know who HTRK they are Nigel Lee-Yang and Jonnine Standish. Their hometown is Melbourne and use heavily effected guitars, drum machines, vocals, synth sequencers and a tom drum. The music they make is dark, ethereal and moody. Originally they started as a trio but tragically last year their third member and bassist Sean Stewart took his own life.
Pitchfork released a track from their up-coming album yesterday. I was really looking forward to hearing their new sound with the Roland Bass Sequencer and I was not disappointed. The sound now is more electronic, dark and menacing.

This is an older track which is also great.
