A compilation of SCRIBBLE — Australian new wave/synth-pop by singer JOHANNA PIGOTT and TODD HUNTER — out on New Zealand's STRANGELOVE.

SCRIBBLE is the project of Johanna Pigott and her longtime collaborator Todd Hunter. This compiles their dreamy electronic pop. With its enigmatic mood, A1 "River" conjures an imaginary antipodean Balearic atmosphere, while "Mother of Pearl" evokes a blissful sunrise — the label notes it would have DJ Harvey hooked. On "B4," local maestro Hysteric delivers a rearrangement (sample1): hypnotic synthesizer disco. Definitely worth checking out. (Original Japanese text by Saito)

Johanna Pigott’s Scribble project floated through the airwaves Down Under during the first years of the 80’s, gathered here is a succinct collection of her dreamy electronic pop from that era with long term collaborator Todd Hunter. There’s an enigmatic feel woven throughout, songs such as “River” set sail on an imagined Antipodean Balearic vibe, while blissful end-of-nighter “Mother of Pearl” would likely get DJ Harvey in a spin. ‘The Party’ poignantly mulls missing the big night out, while “Mr Calico’ navigates spooked out noir before the eerie synth-waves of “B4” (rearranged by local maestro Hysteric)

Beautifully remastered by Dan Elleson the album also features a lovely innersleeve of reverse artwork.

Follow up to the labels previous globe trotting via the strange-waves of Japan’s Viola Renea and the NZ avante-pop compilation ‘Kiwi Animals’ This album release coincides with Strangelove's Sjunne Ferger compilation ‘Childrens Mind’ LP
