About HTRK

Australian cult favorites HTRK first emerged in the mid-2000s with a bleak yet beguiling form of electronic post-punk marked by dirge-like drum machine rhythms and sensuous vocals. Initially exploring a deconstructed noise-rock sound on releases like their 2005 debut Nostalgia, the group's sound became more refined, as well as more emotionally resonant in the following decade, with albums like 2014's Psychic 9-5 Club and 2019's Venus in Leo. As time went on, HTRK developed an increasingly organic approach, particularly on 2021's spare, acoustic guitar-based Rhinestones.
