about

On their self-titled debut album, Tarcutta transport the listener on a compelling ride through a breathtaking musical landscape. Right from the scene-setting intro of opener ‘Mount Bartle Frere’ to the raw, explosive power of finale ‘Flag Hags Must Die’, the band render their songs with astonishing detail and clarity, cramming more melodic ideas into each song than most instrumental bands manage in whole albums.

Single ‘You Gotta Crawl…’ unfolds into being with a luminous pattern on 12-string electric guitar, the low hum of Hammond organ, and a delicious brushed drum figure. Delicate Hammond organ runs are gradually stirred in before the song changes direction and builds into an eddying spiral of tumbling melody. Elsewhere, ‘Liberace Fibonacci’ thrills with its awesome organ riff, before taking flight through a series of dizzying twists and turns. And luminous centerpiece ‘No Light No Shade’ features a spine-tingling guest vocal from Jess Cornelius (Teeth & Tongue) and a wonderfully bluesy coda.

All Melody
by Nils Frahm

Such feel, great musicianship and how about all those keyboards?! We love German composer, Nils Frahm. The only thing better than listening to this album is seeing Frahm perform live. Tarcutta

Whatever You Love, You Are
by Dirty Three

The truth is, we wanted to be The Dirty Three, but we know our limitations. This Melbourne instrumental three-piece inspired us in so many ways. Listen for songs that ooze danger and melancholy. Tarcutta
