Touch Typist

Last Sunday High Vibes was confirmed to me as the most enjoyable annual music festival in Melbourne with ace performances from Wagons, SubAudible Hum, Mountains in the Sky and The Exploders. Earlier in the day at North Bazaar a small audience of early risers were also treated to great performance from Touch Typist.

Fronted by Nick Huggins, the producer of the Whitley debut which I praised last week, Touch Typist are a three piece who craft soothing cloudy ambient soundscapes which sometimes sound as if they are trapped in a spaceless weightless timewarp. The debut album (of sorts) from Touch Typist You Cannot Kiss A Laughing will be available in November through the POWWOW series, an interesting idea from Feral Media featuring ten releases from emerging independent artists. You Cannot Kiss A Laughing is the fifth release in the series.

Huggins does have a release under his own name though, Shipwreck, released through the Two Bright Lakes label. The show last Sunday seemed to interdisperse songs from this album with those posted on myspace under the Touch Typist moniker. Check 'em out if you like what you see below.
