The Headlight Serenade

previously released as a japanese-only 2cd edition, this version is a one-off pressing of just 500 copies, never to be re-pressed. the limited edition bonus disc contains six stunning live tracks from the sydney trio's 2006 session for the australian national broadcaster abc, four of which are unavailable in any form elsewhere. 'the headlight serenade' is the third album by triosk, following 2004's celebrated 'moment returns' on the leaf label, and their 2003 collaboration with jan jelinek, '1+3 1' (scape). 'the headlight serenade' will find itself comfortably racked alongside albums by four tet, the cinematic orchestra, the necks, bill evans or tortoise. the album is a significant progression from 'moment returns': deeper, clearer, more coherent and fundamentally better recorded. using the aforementioned album as a blueprint, tracks like 'one, twenty-four', 'lost broadcast' and the album's epic 11-minute centrepiece 'lazyboat', have a similarly open-ended, non-linear feel to them that was established on the previous album, however this time out, pieces like 'visions iv', 'not to hurt you' and 'headlights' took on a more conclusive linear song structure.
