About
BILBY - APRIL 2012
The Townhouses is the solo project of Melbourne artist, Leigh Hannah. In 2010, after a string of ambient/instrumental EPs, Leigh released his debut album ‘Islands’, and follow-up EP, ‘Mono no Aware’, to blog and radio praise from all around the world. Islands, derived from some 60-something demos, is largely the result of Leigh’s interest in ethnomusicology. The Townhouses are more recently largely influenced by gamelan, African, electronic, experimental and ambient music – resulting in a collage of different tonalities and polyphonic textures, balanced out by lyric-less lo-fi vocals. The recent success of the two releases has lead to the Townhouses, joined live by Hamish Brooke, being asked to support world renowned artists such as Pantha du Prince (GER), Toro Y Moi (USA) and Alpine. Leigh records everything on mostly borrowed, cheap equipment in his shed based in semi-rural Victoria.
