self-titled is a music magazine that has nothing to do with music. At least not in the traditional sense of self-important ‘criticism’ and profiles that read like regurgitated press releases. Yes, we print reviews and thought-provoking features, but we also pride ourselves on answering the questions others don’t ask. Find out what some of those questions are by reading our daily site or one of the back issues below.

Embedded drink tea around kitchen tables, gossiping - believing that this process informs their approach to improvisation ‐ music embedded in the banal and everyday. They rehearse in the industrial suburb of St Peters, Sydney, under the flight path, with infiltrating neighbourhood power‐tools. The music seems to be permeable ‐ not discreet from the world, but embedded in it. 
Their first LP – embedded will be released on Boccian Records in early 2013.
