Dreampop by Blind Tiger
After a six year hiatus producer Captn K is back recording under his DJ alias Blind Tiger. The first in a collection of lo-fi, dreampop and dance recordings, The Dying Stockman single is the inaugural release on the new West Australian label Corella Records.
Backed with vintage drum machines and keys, this balmy interpretation of a classic Australian bush ballad sees Blind Tiger retelling the story of The Dying Stockman lamenting his last moments on earth. The track will appeal to those with Beck, Robyn Hitchcock and JJ Cale in their record collections.
Continuing the theme, the flipside Ride to the Beyond is a cinematic, instrumental interpretation of the stockman's last ride, Moody keys and bass set the backdrop with reverb drenched synths strings soaring through, bringing to mind classic synth-led Australian film soundtracks of the '80s.
