Aussie trio The Waifs are celebrating their 25th Anniversary in a big way, announcing a national tour for 2017, and a new double-album as well. The band will release their eighth album Ironbark on 3rd March, a day after they embark on a huge national tour. The jaunt (aptly) features 25 shows, and will put The Waifs on the road for almost two months, celebrating the new album as well as 25 years of music. Ironbark is 14 tracks long, but it’ll come with 11 bonus tracks to further celebrate 25 years of The Waifs. Ironbark is the follow-up to 2015’s Beautiful You, and was recorded in the unfinished kitchen of Josh Cunnigham’s retreat in rural New South Wales.

Marcin Swiatkiewicz, one of today’s leading harpsichordists, invites us to join him in the multifaceted and wondrous world of chromaticism on his latest release. He performs repertoire from the seventeenth century on an Italian harpsichord by Detmar Hungerberg with fourteen keys per octave (split upper keys for d sharp and e flat and for g sharp and a flat) and in mean-tone temperament. The repertoire from the eighteenth century is heard on a two-manual copy after Johannes Ruckers by Christian Fuchs. The chromatic style is a special musical phenomenon. Already highly valued by the Greeks during antiquity, it was discovered for the modern world by Humanist scholars of antiquity during the Italian renaissance.
