Marking the re-release of Breathing Under Honey (Low Company 2023 / purely physical teeny tapes 2026), Naarm/Melbourne-based diy experimentalist Tarquin Manek brings his gonzo dub-pop project Static Cleaner Lost Reward to life for the first time with a handful of live band shows in EU and UK.

Tarquin Manek has been a major player - and enabler - in the fertile Aus underground, releasing an array of solo music under aliases including LST, Silzedrek and Static Cleaner Lost Reward; co-producing albums by YL Hooi and Carla dal Forno; and playing in cult groups Kallista Kult and F Ingers (the latter alongside dal Forno and CS + Kreme’s Sam Karmel). Releases have come through labels like Blackest Ever Black, Low Company, A Colourful Storm, and Kashual Plastik.

SCLR's Breathing Under Honey inhabits a world of hazy aquatic soundscapes, tape-loop decay, murky rhythm mechanics and ghostly songwriting, crafting disoriented yet strangely melodic songs that feel both corroded and dreamlike.
