HTRK - Marry Me Tonight (Pink & Black Vinyl)

HTRK step into their 21st year on reflective terms, launching a series of collaborations, covers/remixes, installations, and performances
alongside the new repress of their full-length debut, Marry Me Tonight. First released in 2009 via Blast First Petite, the album saw its
first vinyl pressing in 2015 via Ghostly International and has since been out of stock. In late 2024, Marry Me Tonight becomes available
in limited edition pink and black vinyl, also finally on streaming services. Few groups in history elevate mood to such singular,
smoldering supremacy as the Australian duo of Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang, aka HTRK (or "hate rock" if informed). Across two
decades of work and wounds, HTRK’s sound has shape-shifted between densities and intensities, noise and nakedness, but never
wavered in its delicate poetic gravity. In HTRK’s sound world, cavernous reverberations of dub techno are mixed with frosted post-punk
motifs and the gravelly imperfections of industrial, reimagined in the setting of a dingy basement. Like all HTRK albums, Marry Me
Tonight was singular in sound and circumstance. It's the only album the outfit recorded from start to finish as a trio, and it's the only
HTRK record that bears the co-production stamp of Rowland S. Howard. Breathy, caustic, and rife with contradiction, Marry Me Tonight
took the raw material recorded on 2005's Nostalgia and transformed it into a pop record — pop that buckled and warped beneath the
glare of Howard, fellow producer Lindsay Gravina, and the HTRK trio: Jonnine Standish, Nigel Yang and Sean Stewart. Howard died at
the end of 2009; Stewart died the year after. Things would never be the same. The band would carry on and reach new heights despite
it all, but as a trio, this is their definitive document.
