ANONYMEYE – ANONYMEYE MOTEL

Release date: Monday June 19, 2006
Half/theory – HALF10

Anonymeye and the Half/theory collective (www.halftheory.com) are pleased to present 'Anonymeye Motel', the debut album by Brisbane, Australia avant-country artist Anonymeye. Anonymeye, the non-de-plume for twenty-two year old Brisbane, Australia based musician Andrew Tuttle; combines acoustic instrumentation with electronic and experimental production techniques.
Anonymeye's debut album 'Anonymeye Motel', released with the assistance of the Australia Council for the Arts, is loosely inspired by family-run motels that litter highways, tourist destination and trade destinations in addition to the relative mundanity of suburbia.

Anonymeye Motel's eight tracks range from eleven-minute minimal drone of Reception, to the solo acoustic guitar workout of Pacific Highway, 3pm and its digitally processed sibling Pacific Highway, 3am, to the avant-country-pop soundscapes of Suburban Shopping Centre carpark.

Anonymeye Motel comes packaged within exquisite cardboard packaging, designed to replicate the feel of a motel booklet.

RIYL: Matmos, John Fahey, Greg Davis, Tuung, Charley Patton, Harry Smith Anthology, Fennesz.

The Wire - "work[s] up something sublime from the dreary hum of malfunctioning neon lights and off-white plastic balcony railings, finding beauty in their humble everydayness, "succeeds in conveying tedium without itself being tedious".

Cyclic Defrost - "a fascinating first album", "those who enjoy Greg Davis, Keith Whitman and Fennesz will appreciate the skewed pop take."

Mess & Noise - "lets melodicism bloom and run like oil in a pan," "the ghosts of John Fahey and Neil Young haunt a lonely stretch of Australian bitumen.", "This is a fine album of electro-acoustic experimentation", "there's a singular and unique musical mind at work here."

Scene - "a thicket of processed guitars and minimalist electronics", "The finest local release of 2006."

Rave - "a lush blend of country-inspired riffs and licks, sampled, stopped and started, shifted and stuttered, stammered and syncopated, or simply left to ring and whisper of wide-open spaces.", "a stark and honest account of life and music that holds an idealistic innocence."
