Edition of 30x hand-numbered cassettes

‘North of Capricorn’ is a pastel postcard from a tropical dream. It is a travelogue created for a time of quarantine, a soothing sound journey for a time of anxiety.
All tracks were made using field recordings collected by Henry Reese on a road trip through North Queensland in December 2019. Revisiting these recordings from isolation in Melbourne, Henry’s tropical journey grew into something weirder and larger than life, a magical realist sketch of a diverse and dark place with a troubling history, where fantasy and reality intersect.
This album is a reflection on how tropical Northern Australia is often misunderstood by southerners. It is also a record designed for relaxation and mental journeying at an uncertain time.
Lite Fails’ debut album ‘The End of the World has Already Happened’ (Flaming Pines, 2020) was a record about fire, created at a time of environmental crisis. ‘North of Capricorn’ is a very different beast. This is water music.
