PRE-ORDER: Eleventh He Reaches London – Debut LP
Originally self-released in 2005, Perth’s EHRL debut album sat atop the local charts for months with pressings continually selling out across the country. A truly unique band that draws on inspiration from all corners – it’s an orchestra of unease, an anti-manifesto of poetry and personal history that is unquestionably Australian. Every song oozes of despair, each minute - unpredictable.

Introducing: Eleventh He Reaches London
As far as Eleventh He Reaches London is concerned, distance makes the heart grow thwarted and dark rather than fonder. Hailing from Perth, Western Australia; a vast area of land separated from the rest of the country by an expanse of desert. This isolation has afforded Eleventh the luxury of growing organically, independent of the clichés and trends often present in larger communities. The result is a band that draws on inspiration from all corners – it’s an orchestra of unease, an anti-manifesto of poetry and personal history.Reissues of earlier material are in the works and in early 2013, the band will be presenting their third album to the world. Expect another record that will stand alone, while unmistakeably Eleventh He Reaches London, deep-seated in Australian identity and antiquity.Watch the video for "Oh, Brother" below, taken from the 2009 album Hollow Be My Name.
