This Block, our new two track single, is available in a home made CD package or on download here

Half folk-half noise, Khancoban's music has been described by the Sydney Morning Herald as spacious interior music, big on emotion but small on drama. After two releases on the renowned Half A Cow label, Khancoban return with their latest single ‘This Block’, giving audiences a taste of the album they are currently creating with producer Nick Huggins. Like a fox after a rabbit in early morning, ‘This Block’ pulsates with a breathlessness that suggests to the listener the feeling of keeping up with and capturing a good idea after it occurs and leaps away. This Block is being released through Melbourne label Departed Sounds.

Some press from Brisbane's Time Off:

"It’s a very subtle tune resting on a piano bounce, with the melange of instruments building gradually over the mostly two chord material. The vocals are vulnerable, but not too weepy, and the layers and diversity of instrumentation keep it very interesting without becoming unnecessarily wanky. It’s backed with I Wish I Was On A Plane Somewhere which is much less produced, but no less charming with nothing more than a single elegant guitar line and scratchy, yearning vocals, leaving heaps of blank space and some room for your imagination."
