About ELEVENTH HE REACHES LONDON - NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!
Eleventh He Reaches London sat beneath a tree sometime in 2007. They thought of music and they thought of life; they thought of the perfect way to balance both, but soon realised that one was far easier to love than the other. They wrote "Hollow Be My Name" soon after, an endless representation of positive and negative emotions, of audible notes that have lost their way since 1927, when Henry Thomas first sat on the bank of a river and composed the "Fishing Blues". They recorded in 2007 and 2008, breaking the record they had previously set for hours spent in Bergerk! Studios by a band on a single project. The result is an hour long record; an hour to contribute to the ever growing stack of musically expressed observations of time spent on earth - not a throwback to a bygone era of sound, but an etching of one's own passage through this miserable wasteland.
The recordings were buried and vines allowed to grow across them, as Seldon Hunt created a beautiful cardboard hermitage for the music, as well as a 24 panel poster and lyric sheet (see below). The hour spends itself dividing all one is into God, Government and Father, depicting our protagonist’s resentment in all three for their perceived neglect. It's not about being Australian, it's about being human - for they love the world they live in, but hate the country they've left. Presented in sound, this is "Hollow Be My Name" by Eleventh He Reaches London.
hey boys,fukken luvd ur set at Wolf Lane the other night,you guys hav got an unreal sound love the dirty colonial australian vibe,cant wait to catch u fellas at another gig.keep up the great work guys
Just letting you know that we've just uploaded our first studio recorded track, "Warm Star Fades". The track is going to be included on the next Starving Kids Records' "Have You Heard #6" sampler, which will be available to buy from our MySpace as soon as we get some copies, but for now you can hear it at
Just letting you know I posted a review of Hollow Be My Name on Absolute Punk. You can check it out here, and obviously let me know if there is anything I got wrong or anything like that. Cheers
you give me faith in australian music. you make me forget about grinspoon, silverchair, you am i and living end. all that b-grade shit we are pummeled with that makes me wish i was from another country. you have the balls that they lack. keep going.
i knew listening to Hollow five times consecutively today would give me good juju for news tonight. Oh Brother is brilliant in ways i can't describe using mere words. i just felt the urgent need to spam your comment box so you'd know how incredibly appreciated you are in these corners of the earth. dvd release potentially? IT IS A GOOD IDEA. also what time are you on on the 8th? contrary to my longwinded post of just days ago, i may be able to escape the tail end of my own engagement party if you're on pretty late...
guys, you're seriously booking shows using my diary as a guide to the worst possible nights, aren't you? last time it was our housewarming, this time it's my own engagement party... now i think you'd help us finish it off in style, and i'm sure the [future-tense]missus would agree, but we have parents to keep happy. damn this world and all it's expectations, you need to have more shows or else i will start playing your songs myself. on acoustic. outside mcdonalds. [p.s. we love you]
fucking hell. are you aware youre the best band in australia at the moment? by a monumental margin? thought so. how bout a national tour with the nation blue?
