Indie off-kilter guitar pop quartet, Ha the Unclear today release a new track recorded with legendary US producer Sylvia Massy (Johnny Cash, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Tool) at Roundhead Studios, Auckland whilst Massy was guest producer for the annual NZ Music Producer Series curated by Greg Haver and part of the Recorded Music NZ’s Tui Series. Final edits were added by Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins, Finn Andrews, Soaked Oats) at Paquin Studios.
The release of ‘Julius Caesar‘ comes a week after the announcement, Ha the Unclear have a song shortlisted for the second year running in the APRA Silver Scroll Awards. ‘Where Were You When I Was All You Needed‘ comes from 2018’s album Invisible Lines.
Following the release of their second album Invisible Lines in August last year, Ha the Unclear spent the summer touring both New Zealand and Australia, making appearances at festivals like Coastella in NZ and Yours & Owls over on the beaches of NSW.
Invisible Lines has been well celebrated at home with Radio New Zealand calling it “soaring” and the NZ Herald giving it ? stars, recommending listeners to pair it up with “a warm woolly jersey, a full teapot, some quiet time and a chip on your shoulder”. A couple of prime time performances on Seven Sharp and 7 Days blasted the band onto TV screens across the country, and to cap it all off they scored an APRA Silver Scroll nomination for the geological and biological break-up track ‘Wallace Line’.

Recently coming off a sold out NZ tour and collaborative EP with pals Soaked Oatsand Being., Ha the Unclear are now very pleased to begin their headline tour of NZ and Australia.
If it wasn’t a year already stinking hot enough, during which they played shows with The Shins and The Dandy Warhols, PLUS single ‘Wallace Line’ is now a Top 20 finalist for the 2018 APRA Silver Scroll!
Newly released video single ‘Stuck In My Head’ is a brightly coloured, “one shot” circus, in which the band play a children’s TV presenter, a twitcher, a teacher, and a gallant infantryman and features fellow Auckland musician Lou’ana Whitney as co-presenter.

Today Ha the Unclear announce the release of their long-awaited second album Invisible Lines, which will be released on Friday 20th July. The frenetic kiwi quartet also share a striking music video for their new single ‘Wallace Line,’ starring both Cathro brothers, Michael and Paul with New Zealand filmmaker and actress, Kelly Gilbride, who directed and produced the video.
The track, produced and engineered by Tom Healy at Paquin Studios (Tiny Ruins, Popstrangers) and mastered by Jared Hirshland (Anderson .Paak, Tokyo Police Club), unravels the story of a disintegrating long-distance relationship over a percussive musical backdrop and Cathro’s endearing storytelling, which has become a much-loved centrepiece of Ha The Unclear’s music over the years.
