Across two decades of work and wounds, HTRK’s sound has shape-shifted between densities and intensities, noise and nakedness, but never wavered in its delicate poetic gravity. Now the duo continues to look back while moving forward, sharing news of the next reissue on Ghostly International: the beloved 2021 album Rhinestones.
Self-released in the fall of 2021, Rhinestones was a revelation for HTRK, kickstarting a subtle resurgence for the Melbourne group, marked by a new infatuation with "eerie and gothic country music." The set garnered high praise from Gorilla vs. Bear, The Wire, and Pitchfork.
