Borrowing its memorable images from the 1992 Japanese S&M film Topaz (a.k.a. Tokyo Decadence), HTRK’s video for this live version of "Fascinator" sets palpable longing against a seemingly endless loop of passing trees in blossom. Mess + Noise have premiered the track and video today. Dazed and Confused have shared the EP in full along with a brief interview with HTRK. 

The Part Time Punks Radio Sessions release by HTRK and Tropic of Cancer holds six sublime songs of desire.

Comparable to a fly-on-a-wall Peel Sessions, the critically acclaimed Part Time Punks radio show is the sound of the LA underground, run by local icon Michael Stock.

The limited split captures both bands live at the radio headquarters during HTRK’s first 2011 tour of the USA, accompanied by comrades in minimalism and melancholia, Tropic of Cancer.

Flipping this vinyl sounds like two sides of the same cursed coin, and mirrors a high school dance playing an endless lustful waltz. BPMs bumped down to a psychic stalk. It’s a broken and beautiful memento.

The two bands offer a stream each from these sessions. HTRK's "Synthetik" is taken from 2011's mind-bending Work (Work, Work) album released on Ghostly International. Tropic of Cancer's "A Color" is a track originally from their underground favorite The Sorrow of Two Blooms EP available on Blackest Ever Black.

Avialable on 12" or digitally on October 30th worldwide via Ghostly International. Pre-order of the EP available now at The Ghostly Store.

HTRK are currently recording a new album with Excepter’s Nathan Corbin in the producer’s chair, while Tropic of Cancer are reportedly working on their debut album for release on Blackest Ever Black in 2012.
