HTRK’s Ghostly International debut 'Work (work, work)' is a flat-lined study of desire and submission, sentimentality and dysphoria. The London by way of Berlin and Melbourne art-rock duo (pronounced “Hate Rock”) finished the album’s production while grieving the sudden loss of founding member and bassist Sean Stewart to suicide in March ‘10. And while that tragedy has certainly found its way into the music’s bottomless sonic void, 'Work (work, work),' written from 2006-10 in Berlin and London, is about much more than abject darkness. Much, much more.
On 'Work (work, work)', HTRK craft a stark soundscape: achingly slow 808 beats, eerie synth arpeggios, vaporous guitar noise, and Jonnine Standish’s androgynous, detached vocals, dripping with reverb. And yet it’s the careful way the pair combine those elements—organizing and juxtaposing them with a minimalist’s attention to detail—that makes their music so emotionally devastating. “Ice Eyes Eis” starts things off by enveloping you in a slippery erotic zone, in which a German sex TV babe splays herself over a molasses-slow beat and clouds of dry-ice atmosphere. The creeping “Eat Yr Heart” embodies HTRK’s touch with sonic unease, showcasing a high-pitched horror-movie synth obligato that flits like a swarm of bats around Standish’s declarations of longing (“glucose, cellulose, saccharine”/ “you fill me up then make me starve, eat yr heart”). Late-album highlight “Love Triangle” takes a more sensuous tone, describing a perfect three-person encounter (“he on she on me / she on me on he / bermuda bermuda bermuda”) over textured guitar swirls and a languorous drum-machine march.
For all of Work (work, work)’s more abrasive elements, its sense of bleakness and mourning, one finds a surprisingly romantic core. A sense of doomed melancholy, a heavy heart, lives below the layers of a murky and heavy space. HTRK’s remaining members, Jonnine Standish and guitarist Nigel Yang, sweeten their heavier sonic reference points (Pan Sonic, Suicide, et al) into songs of love and lust, creating an imaginary party record for the end of time. And what of all that “work”? In the end, HTRK’s album title seems both to refer to the tireless craft that went into its creation, as well as Standish and Yang’s endless quest to extract beauty from melancholy.

Lyrics:

Cunning are the blind ones
Channels for the rhyme
Visions of perfection 
Between the lines
 
Weighters on my shoulders
Pennies in my mouth
I've borrowed from my good days
In a lonely house

Waiting on a misstep
Look to make my move
Waiting in the balance 
For something to prove

With a tongue that sharp 
I could cut you right out of my heart
With a mouth that smart
The first cut is the hardest part

Paint it in a picture
Cast it in blue light
Cut it from your matter 
Let win the quitters win the fight

Sweeping up the silence
when the verbal war was done
Underneath the rug now
It's the art of running from

Waiting on a misstep
Look to make my move
Waiting in the balance 
For something to prove

With a tongue that sharp 
I could cut you right out of my heart
With a mouth that smart
Cut you down part by part

You're chasing dimes across the floor
Somehow they mean so much more
Can anybody know 
Why we're nose to nose in the snow

With a tongue that sharp 
I could cut you right out of my heart
With a mouth that smart
Cut you down part by part

With a tongue that sharp 
I could cut you right out of my heart
With a mouth that smart
First cut is the hardest part

Bright lights in the city 
A pack of smokes
Old chair pulled up to my window
Is this where I wanna be 
Or where I wanna go
Watch the fog creep by
As the clock slows
I’m in love with love
Or the idea of it
And all these steep long climbs
Have left me out of breath
Do I give up now and say the hell with it
Or do I just keep moving 
Never gonna rest

Never gonna rest 
Never ever ever say the hell with it
Yea I’m so restless, never
Never gonna, Never gonna

Run Run Run
Gotta get away
Run Run Run
Gotta leave this place
You Run Run Run Run Run

The hum of the street is my soundtrack
If I give all I got 
What can I give back
So I’m jumping one foot 
Over these street cracks
Living day to day to day 
Out of this backpack
Oh heave a heavy sigh 
I’m on deck
If you leave a piece behind 
I’m a big mess
Baby show a little leg
I love that sundress
RSPCT show some respect

Show some respect 
Never ever ever ever
Say the hell with it
Yeah were so restless
Never 
Never gonna 
Never gonna

Run Run Run
Gotta get away
You Run Run Run
Gotta leave this place
Run Run Run 
Gotta get away
You Run Run Run Run Run

Holograms

Waterfalls

The third and final part of the "waldgeschichten" 12inch series highlights and expands upon pole´s distinctive sound, connecting to the first two parts of the trilogy in a charming way. Again a fundamental element is the very specific drum sound embedded in complex dubby structures, seamlessly unified with the warm and deep basslines.

If you have had the pleasure of listening to one of pole´s live concerts recently, then you will immediately recognize the "lurch" and "moos".


 

After the stripped down second part of the trilogy, with its wintery atmosphere, these tracks appear to be floating in melancholy. The field recordings and sounds fade away into echoes, grounded with massive bass.

 

This is a perfect conclusion to the series, offering a foretaste of the upcoming pole album.
