Today marks the 1st year anniversary of our album launch for Disquiet Living. In celebration of this, we have some goodies to release! .Firstly, we would like to share with you a new track and video clip. Thank you Donnie for your recording skills.

We have also released an EP of B sides that didn’t make the cut. We figured that we would share these tracks with you anyway, mixed by our guitar man, Chris. These 5 tracks are available to download from our Bandcamp on a pay as you wish basis.

Five unreleased tracks that have been kicking/laying around in various forms. Tracks 2 thru 5 were recorded during sessions for our debut album in late 2015 and 2016, but for whatever reason didn’t make it onto the track listing or even thru the mixing stage. Tracks 2,3 and 4 have been played live many times as far back as 2014, track 5 has never been played before. Track 1 was written during 2016 when the album was taking shape and getting ready for release, but it was finally recorded in stages in 2017. It has been played at only twice, both times in 2017. Therefore we feel it has a connection to the era of Disquiet Living. These tracks form a release to represent the full spectrum of the band, with a focus on softer and less frenetic songs compared to the LP. Considering the current locations and feelings of the band members, Hesitation Tones is perhaps by default a farewell for now, and thus a gift based in gratitude to anyone who has supported us over the last few years and may be interested in hearing some of this musik recorded, or indeed at all. We hope you like it, thank you.

Hideous Towns is a Melbourne based band that has been independently active since 2013. With their winning combination of chiming gazed-out guitars, dynamic female vocals and buoyant, no-frills drum propulsion, Hideous Towns have nonchalantly secured a stronghold on the world’s tuned-in dream-pop fans.

They self recorded and released their first single ‘Joy/Don’t Look Up’ in April 2014, performing extensively throughout 2014. The group then released a debut EP earning themselves a reputation as a notable live act.

In August 2015 they toured nationally with their single ‘Heart Attack’ released through Melbourne’s Lost And Lonesome Records. After receiving positive reviews from local community radio and Triple J, Hideous Towns went about recording their Debut Album.  The album was recorded by Matthew Hosking in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne and the inner northern suburb of Northcote over the summer of 2015/16. Since then Hideous Towns have released two singles from the upcoming debut ‘Don’t Forget’ which also a music video was created by James Thomson (Contrast) and was played on Rage in the following weeks of release. Their most recent release ‘Wake Us’ shows their softer side musically and was well received by community radio stations nationally.In the coming months of 2016, Hideous Towns will release their Debut Album ‘Disquiet Living’.
