3RD SPOONBILL ALBUM ::: ZOOMORPHIC
release date: 14th March 2009
After nearly two years of questing through the audio underworld, wrestling crocodile-headed samplers and taming fire-breathing speaker stacks, Spoonbill has returned to the earth's surface.
His message: Zoomorphic, a shapeshifting sonic celebration of Spoonbillism. Zoomorphic is set to earn Australia's most unique aural oracle thousands of fresh converts across the globe.
This time around, Spoonbill's anarchic, quirk-funk, glitched-up aesthetic has been forensically finessed like never before, sculpted to a well-bodied medley of groove-based sound art.
The Zoomorphic experience is crafted from an intricate web of edited studio recordings of exceptional musos melded with found sounds, foley folly and synthesised materials, much of which was captured while recently touring across US, Canada, Europe & UK.
Squishy pulsating bass lines carpet the undergrowth, while dirty squelchy synth licks frolic in a warped menagerie of neurotic cyborgs, rattlesnakes, sirens, champagne froth, fireworks and crushed eggshells. The jamboree coalesces to form a single groove shrieking beat-creature, covered with feathers, scales, bells and whistles.
Zoomorphic is a diverse musical mutant for late-night dancefloors, introspective train-rides, and everything in between. This fresh batch of Spoonytunes will captivate fans of glitch-hop, IDM, breaks, psychedelic electronica, folktronica, dubstep, trip-hop and more – but the Spoonbill's mighty call can't be pigeon-holed into any single genre. Some folk call it “vaudeville electronica”, responding to the jovial carnival feel like circus clowns with lobsters in their pants.

...Omelette Presents ~ Gourmet Scavenger ~ VA album compiled by Spoonbill...
release date: 14th June 2008
Whip out the silverware and throw down a nice table cloth for Gourmet Scavenger, the new continent hopping electronica compilation from Australia's pioneering Omelette Records.
A selection of lobe smacking dishes, Scavenger's all natural ingredients range from downtempo electronica to folktronica, glitchhop to leftfield hip hop, brokenbeat to jazz groove, plus a few spices you'll have a hard time putting your finger on. Plucking treats from Australia's shores, to those of America, UK, Austria and France, Gourmet Scavenger offers one of those rare compilations that appeals because it's so consistently good and yet remains so consistently inventive.
No boring beats, no Mono Soundium Glutamates, no artificial loop preservatives, just pure, cutting edge tunes from around the globe.
...Omelette's Gourmet Chefs:...
Hailed from France - Wax Tailor and Frank Riggio; From Austria - Raffael Francis; From the US - VibeSquaD; from the UK - Lotek (Ninja Tune/Big Dadda) and from Australia; Spoonbill, Hermitude, Monkeymarc (Combat Wombat), Soup (Miso), Eden Altman, Welcome Dear Friend (Velure), Alpha Channel, Sensient (Zenon Records), Niceface and the Sunwrae Ensemble.

...Spoonbills 2nd album - Nestegg...
Propelled by the massive response from Australian and international audiences, and the successful release of his debut album Megafauna, Melbourne-based electronic producer Spoonbill lays his anticipated second album: Nestegg.
Spoonbill's latest call from the wild is both cerebral sonic entertainment and smoothly-beaten groove, coming together as a heavily edited fusion of live recorded instrumentation and fabricated electronica. From antique tones to genre-warping sound art, Nestegg is a mastery of chaos. Enticing listeners with its smooth, shiny shell of downtempo tunes, Nestegg breaks open to reveal a thick and fast-flowing yolk of intricate beat chemistry.


...Spoonbills debut album Megafauna...
release date: 25th June 2005
Megafauna is an elegant and quirky symphony of honey-scented grooves, jovial humour and joyous beat trickery, melding an ever-evolving array of styles into a distinctive ozzie blend. From its richly textured electronic centre to the live licks around its jazzier edges, Megafauna celebrates and pokes fun at colloquial Australiana.
Call it quirk-funk or downbeat with bite, Megafauna takes the listener firmly by the scruff of the ear and leads them into a shady forest of rhodes, horns, and deep double bass, then back out into an eccentric wonderland of glitched-out grooves infused with AM talkback radio and rowdy bush cobbers.
