Luke Howard ‘The Sand That Ate The Sea’ vinyl edition

Hobbledehoy and Luke Howard are happy to announce a vinyl release of ‘The Sand That Ate The Sea‘, the acclaimed collaboration with director Matthew Thorne, Shards and Lior. Originally released digital-only by Mercury KX.

Luke has donated all artist royalties up front to the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery.

Originally composed for the namesake film by Matthew Thorne, a response to the community and conditions of the Australian outback. The film soundtrack was also nominated for an ARIA.

With its contemporary stance on the mythic and spiritual connotations that come with the desert, the composer found himself writing for choir for the first time, recruiting Erased Tapes-signed vocal group Shards (who featured on Nils Frahm’s All Melody) and Australian-Israeli singer Lior, to create a fresh reflection of the desert’s minimal yet encompassing environment.

A mini documentary was created which features interviews from Luke and director Matthew Thorne.
