Hi there

It's been a long time since we've had a bit of news in the HR camp whilst Mark Moldre has been recording his solo album...but we do have a little news to pass on.

Firstly, the last Hitchcock's Regret album, endless_intermission is finally available on iTunes. This was our 3rd album, produced by Aria award nominated producer, Tim Powles along with Michael Carpenter and for the first time the band produced a few tracks in our own studio, Alfred's Lair.

It was our most successful record which saw airplay on JJJ and FBi. For the first time videos were produced for 3 tracks - Happiness, (Your) Apathy (Is Killing Me) and uwontcmeanymore - and all tracks were featured on ABC music show Rage on a regular basis, including Rage's end of year retrospective.

The album received high praise in the media with critics saying things like:

Hitchcock’s Regret could rival Augie March as Australian indie’s favourite sons. The Central Coast band craft melodies with the same intricacy and deliver vocals with the same level of emotion. The third HR album is a masterpiece of guitar pop wrapped in esoteric instruments such as the mellotron, theremin and dobro. - Sydney Morning Herald

Engaging and hypnotic from beginning to end, Endless Intermission is a journey through a landscape of unhinged moods, jangly chord progressions, spacey lead guitar, expertly delivered pop with instant familiarity (you'll swear blind you've heard some of these songs before) and intelligent lyrics. The NSW Central Coast band is led by Mark Moldre, who, aside from playing "guitarsaplenty" also has a go at everything from theremin to Mellotron, autoharp and thumb-tack piano, making him either a show off or a genius, maybe both. While their old label failed to see the commercial aspects of this, their third album, Hitchcock's Regret have found a new home on Spacejunk, and new sound with Endless Intermission and no doubt hundreds of new fans. If you like the Eels, give these guys a serious listen - Australian Guitar Magazine

Secondly, a new Hitchcock's Regret track will be appearing on a US compilation album which is a labour or love from our friend Tony Pucci. Tony has released an album entitled "Songs For Jenny" to raise money for the disease ALS. Tony's sister, Jenny, bravely battled the disease for 5 years.

ALS is a disease for which there is no cure and the average life expectancy for someone who is diagnosed is 2-5 years.

The album features music penned and recorded by Tony Pucci with lyrics and music donated by artists like Tim Powles (The Church) and Ricky Maymi (The Brian Jonestown Massacre), Donnette Thayer, Margot Smith, Hitchcock's Regret and many more.
