Thanks to Nick for passing this on:

Yes To Fear, Yes To Desire is the second album from Panoptique Electrical AKA Jason Sweeney (Pretty Boy Crossover, Mist & Sea). It follows on from 2008’s Let The Darkness At You, an album which garnered significant critical praise and has become one of Sensory Projects’ best selling releases outside of Australia.

Celebrating the release of the new album Yes To Fear, Yes To Desire, Panoptique Electrical will be touring around Australia in August. The tour begins in Adelaide:

Friday 7 Aug 2009
ELECTRONIC MUSIC UNIT – EMU SPACE
Adelaide University
5th Floor, Schulz Building
(enter through Scott Theatre foyer lifts)
$10 – 8:00PM

Find Panoptique Electrical live in 2009 and you will experience the extension in the line-up, coming via the addition of Zoë Barry (cello – Ladykillers, Hope Diamond) and Jed Palmer (guitar – Bergerac, Mist & Sea, Hope Diamond), and Tristan Louth-Robins (laptoptronica – aka Red_Robin). The results are expansive depth of sound, the combination of guitar drones, Zoë’s exquisite cello work, and nuances and tones from Louth-Robins, recalling early 4ad outfits The Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil and their mesmeric recorded works.
