The first physical format release from Masterton trio The Troubled Times (and the debut release for Small Town Electron as a label) is a loud and noisy nocturnal romp through the hills and onto the gravel back roads of one of Aotearoa/New Zealands least visited regions.
Whilst earlier digital releases have veered from arty drone pieces to synth pop and heavy space rock the music on 'Hill Road In Winter' is more like a pychedelic pub jam band gone BRILLIANTLY 'wrong'. Woozy blues paeans slip sideways into feedback freakouts and heavy Hawkwind like stomps attempt to transition into songs by The Fall.
All recorded 'New Zealand style' in Antony Milton's garage.

If we weren't such raving greenies here at Small Town Electron we'd put this tape forward as the PERFECT album for a lengthy nocturnal drive.
