{"product_id":"hydroplane-selected-songs-1997-2003","title":"Hydroplane - Selected Songs 1997-2003","description":"Hydroplane would be familiar to anyone already following these breadcrumb trails – Andrew Withycombe, Bart Cummings and Kerrie Bolton were the group’s core, all members of The Cat’s Miaow. With Cat’s Miaow drummer Cameron Smith itinerant, having moved to London, the trio used this opportunity to expand their music. It’s a subtle, but important shift. If The Cat’s Miaow was about the perfect, minimalist, two-minute pop song, Hydroplane’s music was far more open-ended, embracing the loops and drones, sampled house-y shuffle beats, the burbling of a Roland Jupiter-4 synth, all of which the trio joined, effortlessly, to their endless capacity for moving, elegant melodicism. They may have only planned to release one seven-inch single, but the sound Hydroplane created was so bewitching, so compelling, that the project’s lifespan ran for around half a decade, and they ended up releasing three albums, including a self-titled debut recently reissued by Efficient Space, and seven singles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCompiling material from across their brief but mercurial career, this double album perfectly captures the magic and mystery of Hydroplane’s dreamlike, perfect pop songs.","brand":"WORLD OF ECHO","offers":[{"title":"Orange 2LP","offer_id":51811745169686,"sku":"RMX-73757","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a96b199fceb4eb9e8388c13.jpg?v=1788268172","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/hydroplane-selected-songs-1997-2003","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
