Do it Outside with Wilson Tanner 🍃 T shirt now available on Bandcamp

Scenes from Wilson Tanner’s Legends launch at Northcote Uniting Church, where the duo erected a cricket-pitch stage complete with stumps + stadium seating. Venerated musicians ‘Evil’ Graham Lee + JP Shilo delivered the night’s most spellbinding turn, opening with a set that folded in a haunting take on The Triffids’ Raining Pleasure. 📸 @painted.sun.in.abstract

"Bubbles" is out now 🥂 your seconde sip from Legends, out soon on Efficient Space. this one sneaks away from the winery, wandering down the grassy slope for a nudie swim in the farm dam. chardonnay in hand and barefooted, a faint memory of austin powers' swinging 60s lingers in the summer breeze, an almost inaudible ‘yeah baby’ emitted by the fragrant bursting of a million tiny spheres of carbon dioxide.

Test pressing edition of "Legends". 25 copies only. Labels are hand painted with blackboard paint, chalk and adhesive. Some sediment and residue may remain. VG-. Agricultural not audiophile. one copy remaining! *Shipping from Australia only* via @efficient_space bandcamp page.

Wilson Tanner return to dry land with Legends, a wine-soaked agricultural fantasy, made among the grapevines at @manonfarm in South Australia. Where their earlier works settled into the sun-struck torpor of a suburban Perth backyard (69) or drifted off-course on a riverboat on Port Phillip Bay (ii), Legends trades salt air for vineyard sweat, the scrape of boots on dry earth + workers’ radios humming with the summer test cricket season. Through this agricultural haze an image of a working vineyard emerges - ducks, dogs + plovers intrude; tractors + quads fly-by; stainless steel gleams at the edges. Recorded without mains power, the Manon demos overflow with farmyard ingenuity. Wind, brass, balalaika, balloon, pipe + synth are trained onto the staff with wire, tape + string. A caricature of Australian viticulture, Legends is packed to the horns with the mythology + manure of natural wine. Swigging and belching in camaraderie, Wilson Tanner press their surroundings into something raw + unfiltered, letting bum notes, leftovers + sediment linger in the bottle. A cornucopia of biodynamic sounds. LP/digital out May 9 with ltd test pressing edition shipping now
