As Anonymeye, Tuttle reconfigures various country and folk musics within an abstract sonic framework, utilising electronic and acoustic instrumentation including acoustic guitar, signal processing, synthesisers, and effects units.

The Maple Trail

Somewhere in the Blue Mountains, just outside of Sydney, Australia, lives Aidan Roberts. He is the primary songwriter, singer and instrumentalist for his pet folk-rock project, The Maple Trail. Sporting a dark beard and curly hair, Aidan spends his time writing and recording music from his home, forging an existence somewhere between serenity and mayhem. The Maple Trail is somewhat of a personal odyssey; a constant musical journey that has traversed the ravines of Sydney’s metropolitan limits...

The Orbweavers

Salvaged from the tangled threads of Brunswick’s derelict textile mills, The Orbweavers have been wooing Melbourne with their Twin Peaks-style country folk for the last year, supporting The Spoils, The Dumb Earth and Conway Savage amongst others. Chiming electric guitar, violin, bass & drums, their haunting tunes travel the sea, moon and old forgotten places.

"Folk Noir is a genre that is largely misunderstood.

Rand and Holland

Music, or art in any form, is about space. To create a setting that engages with thoughts, ideas, or musings, and unravel them in real time, is to create a masterwork. Through a landscape of calculated interpretation and embraced accidents Caravans, the second album from Sydney’s Rand and Holland, is just that. Developing out of the home recordings of Brett Thompson, Rand and Holland materialized when those offerings became the basis for 2003’s Tomorrow Will Be Like Today (Preservation).

Woollen Kits

Woollen Kits play a kind of washed-out punk rock that slides a line between Bratmobile, Jonathan Richman and Scratch Acid and have released three home-recorded and handmade EPs on their own Periodic Collective label over the past two years, including a split with Wonderful Fellowship. In 2009 they became a three piece, and continue to play short and catchy pop tunes, shorter and catchier than ever.
