First released in 2009 via Blast First Petite, the album saw it's first vinyl pressing in 2015 via Ghostly International and has since been out of stock. In late 2024, Marry Me Tonight becomes available in limited edition pink and black vinyl, also finally on streaming services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew groups in history elevate mood to such singular, smoldering supremacy as the Australian duo of Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang, aka HTRK (or \"hate rock\" if informed). Across two decades of work and wounds, HTRK's sound has shape-shifted between densities and intensities, noise and nakedness, but never wavered in it's delicate poetic gravity. In HTRK's sound world, cavernous reverberations of dub techno are mixed with frosted post-punk motifs and the gravelly imperfections of industrial, reimagined in the setting of a dingy basement. Like all HTRK albums, Marry Me Tonight was singular in sound and circumstance. It's the only album the outfit recorded from start to finish as a trio, and it's the only HTRK record that bears the co-production stamp of Rowland S. Howard. Breathy, caustic, and rife with contradiction, Marry Me Tonight took the raw material recorded on 2005's Nostalgia and transformed it into a pop record - pop that buckled and warped beneath the glare of Howard, fellow producer Lindsay Gravina, and the HTRK trio: Jonnine Standish, Nigel Yang and Sean Stewart. Howard died at the end of 2009; Stewart died the year after. Things would never be the same. The band would carry on and reach new heights despite it all, but as a trio, this is their definitive document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003e0\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2\/07\/2025\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGHOS-230C2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e804297823034\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eHTRK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eGhostly Int'l\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eElectronic\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41933410402365,"sku":"ELE-H-804297823034","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4393989-3306989.jpg?v=1736731298"},{"product_id":"pre-order-htrk-rhinestones-blue-vinyl-release-date-04-25-2025","title":"HTRK - Rhinestones [Blue Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eHTRK, the Australian duo of Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang, walked into their 21st year on reflective terms. Accompanied by a series of performances and installations throughout 2024, they teamed with long term partners Ghostly International to repress their 2009 full-length debut, Marry Me Tonight (out February 7th, 2025), finally bringing the release to streaming services, and shared String of Hearts, a new EP featuring covers\/remixes from friends including Loraine James, Liars, Double Virgo, and more. The duo continues to look back while moving forward, sharing news of the next reissue: the beloved 2021 album Rhinestones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelf-released in the fall of 2021, Rhinestones was a revelation for HTRK, kickstarting a subtle resurgence for the Melbourne group and showing them at the top of their powers. Marked by a new infatuation with \"eerie and gothic country music,\" Rhinestones is an elegant nine-song suite of windswept emotion and heartbreak noir, crafted in skeletal arrangements of guitar, voice, metronomes, and FX. From whispered lament to acoustic eulogy to downtempo vignettes, the album took cues from the economy and brevity of Western folk but skewed through a narcotic, nocturnal lens. The set garnered high praise from Gorilla vs. Bear, The Wire, and Pitchfork. The latter wrote, \"Over the past decade, the Melbourne group's music has grown lighter, gentler, and more inviting with every release. Here, they trade their minimal-wave roots for unexpected forays into gothic country.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat \/ \u003cstrong\u003eLP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e04\/25\/2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGHOS-456C1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e804297845630\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eHTRK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eGhostly Int'l\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003eElectronic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42241003913277,"sku":"ELE-H-804297845630","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4411058-3332988.jpg?v=1743515721"},{"product_id":"htrk-work-work-work-15th-anniversary-clear-ash-vinyl","title":"HTRK - Work (Work, Work) (15th Anniversary) [Clear Ash Vinyl]","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eHTRK's Work (work, work), a cult classic pressed for it's 15th anniversary, emerged from grief after the sudden loss of founding member Sean Stewart in 2010.
