My Cerulean Heart

My Cerulean Heart live at Barsoma in Brisbane - playing as part of the Rock for Refugee's lineup.

For those of you in Melbourne!! JOY FM will be playing their interview with myself about My Cerulean Heart/Dizzygotheca this Friday morning EARLY !!! the show starts at midnight ( thursday night/friday morning ) and the interview will be about 10 min into the show.. It's on a show called House Of Jack :D :D :D

From the ever wonderful RAVE magazine on our first ever set as My Cerulean Heart @ the amazing Lady Electronica

"For this showcase of diverse electronic music with a female touch, Dizzygotheca are as appropriate an opening act as one could imagine. The most austere music of the night, the now four-piece group also unveil their new name. Now called My Cerulean Heart, frontwoman Heidi Millington explains to the audience they were seeking a “less industrial” title, while their celebratory on-stage make-up reveals the blue-green shade of their new moniker. Particularly striking is synth wizard Anthony Smith, looking like an electro version of Mayhem’s Attila Csihar. With looped live violin, two-part female harmonies and sounds that veer from dark folktronica to Goldfrapp synth-glam, the newly christened MCH are as musically adventurous as ever."

to protect the innocent?

Well, i have to welcome you all to the very first post on this site as My Cerulean Heart. We offically changed the band name at our last gig at the globe and we could not be happier with it. It evokes more hope, beauty and has a poetic touch that the, while awesome, Dizzygothcea just could not compete with.

It has also ushured in a line up change, with the amazing Fflur joining MCH on a pernament basis, as well as solidifying the theatrical side of the band. Fflur will be the lady when it comes to beautiful vocals and sweetness, and she also does a mean water sprinkler solo.

Unforunately the amazing Richard G cannot play with us anymore due to his being in far too many bands :D  and we bid him a warm adue! We are currently looking for a fourth member to replace Rich.. someone who plays viola or violin! So if you do.. or know someone.. be sure to pass this info on!!

Expect the site to go through a few changes over the next few weeks as it gets re-jigged to match the band name..

Long live My Cerulean Heart!

Ok, now when the website opens up a Dizzygotheca popup appears with our tracks, videos and tunes on it.  Its our Reverb Nation widget and looks pretty slick, and will also give people more access to our stuff direct from the site.

I really wish i could embed it into the music page but alas, the failings of the brilliant joomla show through and it wont work.

Maybe one day ill figure out how to do it.

I digress, it will possibly be blocked by your browser, but if you feel you want to check it out you can click here

Can't quite believe i never posted this one, but Heidi pointed it out to me.

Slack i know, but here it is :D Made early in the morning on Bribie Island in winter and editied on the lovely imovie.

The final mix! Many days of frustration have gone into this but its all worth it! Made with a handy cam, Apple Motion, Imovie and a macbook over 5 days, filmed in 4 hours. Enjoy! Little Beat is one of the tracks off our latest EP A Little Closer To The Truth, available through ITunes and from www.Dizzygotheca.com

Enjoy

Thanks so much to Matt and Rave Magazine for posting an amazing review of our EP - A Little Closer To The Truth!  You can check it here or continue reading below :D

A healthy dose of local darktronica 

Brisbane duo Heidi Millington and Anthony Smith are the city’s premier exponents of electronic music seemingly composed with a quill. As Dizzygotheca, the pair use electronics to make music that is as folky and mystical as it is modern. On new six-track EP A Little Closer To The Truth, they immerse themselves in mantras and chilled, chilling washes of electronic noise. Opening track Sky Over Israel blends haunting voices with an ominous undercurrent, before the minimalist pulse of Little Beat combines almost a cappella moments with sub-aquatic sonics. Sand Or Set could be one of the desolate lullabies of This Mortal Coil, while I’m Here To Rescue You is part cyber torch ballad, part Burroughsian electro-jazz. The lush electronic burbles and swishes of Between Horses And Trees provide the most chilled-out moment, before closer 313 – like a sparser take on Goldfrapp’s fetishist grooves. The sheer amount of intriguing ideas on these six tracks confirms Dizzygotheca’s inventive approach to their deliciously dark art.

MATT THROWER

Featuring the QSong nominated, 4ZzZ favourite 'Little Beat', the live hit '313' and the beautiful hypnotic 'Between Horses and Trees' the EP ranges from chilled out soundscapes to glitchy dance beats. A consolidation of what their first EP 'Holding Pattern' promised, 'A Little Closer To The Truth' has drawn comparisons with Paradise Motel, Bat for Lashes, Goldfrapp and Bjork. With tracks produced by locals Lawrence English, Joe Panetta, Wernher Pramschufer and Brendan Watterson, as well as Dizzygotheca.

NOW AVAILABLE  FROM THE STORE!
