media puzzle - New Racehorse
Album out April 17, 2026
Pre-order vinyl now via @impressedrecordings
Track 1, ‘Knowledge’ is out now everywhere.
This album has been a few years in the making, and I could not be more proud of what it has become. It’s definitely the most experimental yet, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. It’s the most time I’ve ever spent on any media puzzle release.
Sonically, the album’s definitely opened up a door to new territory for the band and myself. Experimenting with new guitar, synth and bass sounds alone has been so much fun. Not to mention a whole drum kit this time too.
Anyway, I’d like to think that there’s a song on there for everyone. This album is different, and that’s just as scary as it is exciting, but I hope you all love it just as much as I do.

10 shows done and dusted with @regurgitators and @dem_mob ! Thanks for letting us jump in on your mega tour ❤️
Extremely grateful and lucky to have done it with the best. We all learnt so much. It’s safe to say there’s not a funnier touring crew out there either. Something we’ll all cherish forever.
Thanks to all that caught our sets in Ulladulla, Canberra, Albury, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Bathurst too!
Back soon 🫶
Love mp

The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing… And that’s the sauce imparted by this week’s (surreal commentary on modern existence, technology, love, death, responsibility, and ego) Feature Video from media puzzle, ‘Knowledge’.
Directed by the band’s lead vocalist Tom Peter, ‘Knowledge’ is a satirical take on people who carry themselves like they know everything, and how frustrating that can be. Utilising some hectic VFX, Tom explains “this video was heavily inspired by the rollercoaster background that used to be on Photobooth (iykyk). Also very much visually inspired by some of my favourite visual artists, including Jason Galea, Throat Pasta, and Spod, to name a few…”
The creation process was, in itself, a learning experience for Tom. He explains “the whole music video for ‘Knowledge’ came about in about 24 hours. There was no plan. I jumped around in front of a wall in my bedroom, with my computer, and literally just pressed record on Photobooth a million times. After a fair few costume changes, some horrendous video editing and an impressive lack of sleep, I had whatever this is. I fell over twice and cut my leg doing so, but I’d like to think it was all worthwhile.”
