Media Puzzle - New Racehorse - VINYL LP
THIS IS A PRE-ORDER FOR APRIL 17 RELEASE.
Media Puzzle is a mysterious figure in Lismore’s nightlife, named after the Irish horse that claimed victory in the 2002 Melbourne Cup (naturally).
Over the last 3 years, Media Puzzle have churned out 3 scuzzy post-punk albums and 2 blisteringly short, and fun EPs. “Residing somewhere between Suicide’s dark melodies, and Uranium Clubs remote eccentricities”, the last two releases landed an exclusive vinyl feature in Rough Trade, and a solid 7.6 score from Pitchfork, praised for its “uncanny creativity that egg-punk weirdos love to tout”.
Having carved out a space between drum machine-riddled egg-punk and fuzzy scuzz-pop, their newest record is a departure from previous efforts, and it seems, a maturing…
After a year of DIY recording and touring, media puzzle grace the track with their 4th (and still somewhat speedy) album, “New Racehorse”. Ditching the previous drum machine-focused, egg-punk fashion.. This fourth album is the most collaborative yet, mixing oddball pop and garage punk.
For fans of early Beck, Uranium Club, DEVO, and everything in between.
PRESSED IN EXCLUSIVE WHITE AND PURPLE COLOUR IN COLOUR WITH OUR SIGNATURE OBI STRIP, NUMBERED 1/100.
‘New Racehorse’ PRE-ORDER NOW FOR APRIL 17 RELEASE via Impressed Recordings.

PAIR WITH STRATEGIC LIVING EP
Media Puzzle is a mysterious figure in Lismore’s nightlife, named after the Irish horse that claimed victory in the 2002 Melbourne Cup (naturally). The band delivers a blistering mix of scuzzy, down-the-barrel Aussie egg-punk, that thrashes through its 90-second songs without a second wasted.
In just one year, Media Puzzle has released one EP and three albums, with the latest, Strategic Living, offering a tongue-in-cheek critique of Australia’s current political climate. Praised by Rage, Triple R, FBI Radio, and other national and international outlets, Media Puzzle has now released what may be their best release yet.
But there’s more! Why stop at one album when you can have two? Alongside Strategic Living, we’ve included their second album, A Brief History of Planets, Space and Shit, as the B-side, creating a double LP for a full-throttle listening experience just for you.
In addition to this release on heavy-weight, white vinyl, Media Puzzle has also made their music available on cassette via Brisbane's Grog Records, Nashville’s Knuckles On Stun, and Paris’s Idiotape Records, for those who love a retro touch.
‘Strategic Living // A Brief History of Planets, Space and Shit’ out now via Impressed Recordings.
Only On Impressed.
