In HTRK's sound world, cavernous reverberations of dub techno are mixed with frosted post-punk motifs and the gravelly imperfections of industrial, reimagined in the setting of a dingy basement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all HTRK albums, Marry Me Tonight was singular in sound and circumstance. It's the only album the outfit recorded from start to finish as a trio, and it's the only HTRK record that bears the co-production stamp of Rowland S. Howard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreathy, caustic, and rife with contradiction, Marry Me Tonight took the raw material recorded on 2005's Nostalgia and transformed it into a pop record - pop that buckled and warped beneath the glare of Howard, fellow producer Lindsay Gravina, and the HTRK trio: Jonnine Standish, Nigel Yang and Sean Stewart. Howard died at the end of 2009; Stewart died the year after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThings would never be the same. The band would carry on and reach new heights despite it all, but as a trio, this is their definitive document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a0D8gsfTINo?si=QBLgx16SjoYrF4uy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Ghostly International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67875234447454,"sku":"HTRK - Marry Me Tonight LP","price":53.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/htrk-marryme.jpg?v=1793251275","url":"https:\/\/www.strangeworldrecords.com.au\/products\/htrk-marry-me-tonight-lp","provider":"Strangeworld Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
