ERASERS
BIO
Forming as a home recording project in 2009 the Perth, West Australian based Erasers (Rebecca Orchard, Rupert Thomas) released a steady flow of cd-rs, tapes and a 7” before eventually releasing their debut full length “Stem Together’ in 2015. In 2017 the duo followed up with a tape release ‘Fault Lines’, originally recorded as a soundtrack commissioned by FBi radio’s Ears have Ears and in April 2019 released a five track EP ‘Forecast’.
Live Erasers have honed and refined their performance, sharing the stage with the likes of Low, Grouper, Acid Mothers Temple, Prince Rama, High Wolf and The Soft Machine as well as multiple shows with long time musical heroes My Disco, Love Of Diagrams and Pikelet. In 2016 the duo embarked on a two date New Zealand tour and in 2017 supported Methyl Ethel on their sold-out Australian tour.
After an extensive recording and mixing process, in July 2019 Erasers release their second full length Pulse Points (via Fire Talk and Pouring Dream). The album sees the duo continue their exploration of immersive, rhythmic and mood-driven music. Recorded and mixed at home on Noongar Boodja and mastered by Lawrence English (Room 40) with cover artwork by Rebecca Orchard.
MUSIC
'Constant Connection' is the new album from Perth-based duo Erasers. Forming as a home recording project over a decade ago, they documented their early sound in a steady flow of CD-Rs, tapes and 7" releases before signing to U.S. label Fire Talk for their subsequent releases, including 2019’s Pulse Points, which Bandcamp called 2019’s Pulse Points “their best album yet”, “recalling the bombed-out electronic textures of Low’s recent work.” Having shared the stage with artists such as The Soft Moon, Grouper and Prince Rama, their live show is a trance masterclass weaving organ drones and snaking guitar-and-synth interplay with Rebecca Orchard's towering incantations. Inspired by their discontent with current world affairs as well as a fascination with 1970s National Geographic, the dreamy, synth-driven soundscapes of new album Constant Connection (via Fire Talk & Night School in the UK) continue the pair’s gift for melding ambient beats and drone-y vocals into a hypnotizing format, offering an eye into the interiors of a world that’s mesmerizing in its soft-focused lens. Staying true to the psychedelic minimalism and definitive pop-structures that remain key components of the band’s signature sound, the new record refines their journey deeper into dreamy territory that feels comforting in all its subdued form.
‘Pulse Points’ a new album from Perth Australia based Erasers sees the duo continue their exploration of immersive, rhythmic and mood-driven music. The record gently sits between kosmische and post-punk in that sweet spot of mellow, vibe engulfed cool. Live Erasers have honed and refined their sound, sharing the stage with like minded groups like Low, Grouper, Acid Mothers Temple, Prince Rama, High Wolf and The Soft Machine as well as multiple shows with long time musical heroes My Disco, Love Of Diagrams and Pikelet. All of these groups counted as influences and contemporaries ‘Pulse Points’ is a a stride forward, solidifying their place in the modern pastoral landscape. Recorded and mixed at home on Noongar Boodja and mastered by Lawrence English (Eluvium, Ben Frost, William Basinski, Xiu Xiu).

Erasers are a Perth Australia based duo. Weaving hazy psych swirls, churning rhythm and pastel vocals into dense grooving floral compositions. Recalling a variety of our favorite 'slow psych' influencers. Vibes like Pocahanted or early Peaking Lights filtered through the Outback and set adrift. Patience is a virtue and they have it, wrapped up and flowing. After releasing a string of EPs since 2009 "Stem Together" is Erasers first proper full length and first release for Fire Talk.
