http://www.spookyrecords.com/index.html Buried Horses deliver a dark and foreboding sonic vision that captures the rugged beauty of our violent landscape. Described as ‘a combination of Dirty Three (subtract screeching violin, add ravenous vocals) and early Drones,’ Buried Horses proudly draw on the strong tradition of great Australian music. Buried Horses have recently signed to Melbourne’s heart of darkness, Spooky Records.

Emerging from the edge of the Rubicon River, Tasmania (AUS), Lyke Giants have quickly been making a name for themselves since the release of their first; self titled EP at the end of 2010, for which they collaborated with
Aria award-winning producer Paul McKercher (Sarah Blasko, Eskimo Joe, Pete Murray, The Living End, You am I).
Defining their music is challenging as they meld multiple genres and create their own brew of Indie Rock/Pop, intertwining semi-hectic rhythms, flowing vocals and layered atmospheric instrumentation.
