Recorded at home in the summer of 2008, Tales from the Colony Room is Canberran duo Spartak's debut full-length album. Both a departure from and an encapsulation of their work up until this point, its seven tracks meld free jazz, microsound, post-punk and shoegaze into a meditative and occasionally explosive mix. Beautifully packaged in white Arigato Paks with inserts designed by Traianos Pakioufakis.Need more info? Try an

Customer Reviews:
On 2009-09-29 00:00:00, 'Don Poe, EAR/Rational Staff Reviewer' gave the following review:
I am getting overtones of Tortoise with hints of something a tad more spastik. Quite a spicy mix! These guys are really good musicians with very complicated songs in the post-rock vein. The song Station Seven regales us with one of the more rambling songs, plenty of percussion rolling in and out with subtle use of the other instruments to form quite an interesting soundscape of ... something more firm than space rock and all that implies... but not quite held together by normally sane people, either. Electronic elements are worked in, too, in the form of odd loops and fills that they play with. I hear a smidgen of Pigs by Pink Floyd, as well, in the way the organ stutters, ever so slightly, in the background. Not my usual listening style, but I do dig this album.
