DIRT MOONS & MINOR PLANETS

Through 2022 to 2024, Helvetica Noise recorded a suite of 6 EPs, slated for mixing and subsequent release over the next few years. Dirt Moons & Minor Planets is their 2nd EP, releasing 18 April 2025. Parts of the EP seem gently lyrical but its punctuated with remorse, irony, melancholy, eating and impudence - you can hear the emotion inside its orbit. Dirt Moons & Minor Planets is a moment that captures five diverse works continually evolving under Helvetica Noise’s deconstruction / reconstruction approach to combining spoken word art, keyboards and noise effects. It oscillates between minimal and maximal, the serious to the tongue in cheek. An alternative constellation.

For fans of

Laurie Anderson, Agnes Obel, Felicia Atkinson, Brian Eno, Steve Roach, Martyna Basta, Twin Peaks

1st EP

Are you lost in the dust factory?

Lost In The Dust Factory gets under your skin. While listening, you will hear instructions for listening, for frowning, dreaming of mountains and picnics in the dark. You will unfold, like the five pieces in this EP. This is the first of 6 EPs to be released by Gadigal country/Sydney poetry & music outfit, Helvetica Noise. Recorded between 2022 and 2024, this EP captures dark poem lines and dramatic piano responses infected with improvised noise effects. The result is thought provoking moody night music. The EP concludes with the epic track, How To Listen To Storms, a deep drone meditation on our urban existence on this fragile earth.

Mixed by Matthew Syres, Blunderbuss Record Co 
Mastered by William Bowden, King Willy Sound

Released on the Blunderbuss Record Co label

Cover art : Ellie Louie & Matthew Syres

Single - How To Listen To Storms - From Lost In the Dust Factory

THE TREES WERE SET ON FIRE

In Helvetica Noise’s debut single How To Listen To Storms, your journey through an ordinary rainy day will deteriorate until ‘the trees were set on fire’. Over this 9 minute odyssey, your listening will become feeling. The vocal lines stop meaning what you initially thought and you’ll rush along the gutters without knowing where you’ll end up.

How To Listen To Storms is the first single from the debut album, Lost In The Dust Factory, which released on 29 November 2024.
