Compilation NWA011

From August 2010 to January 2012, New Weird Australia released a ten-album, bimonthly series of albums and EPs under the title 'New Editions'.

Unlike the download-only compilations, New Editions releases were available in two formats: a high-quality digital release and a run of limited-edition CDs available from artist shows & NWA events. Over an 18-month period, New Editions released albums and EPs from CAUGHT SHIP (Melbourne), BLAKE FREELE (Sydney), PANEYE (Sydney), TANTRUMS (Melbourne), NO ZU (Melbourne), KRIS KEOGH (Darwin), FORENZICS (Sydney), SPARTAK (Canberra), THOMAS WILLIAM VS SCISSOR LOCK (Sydney) and STRANGE FORCES (Brisbane).

This compilation celebrates the conclusion of the first wave of the New Editions project, combining a track from each release with unreleased and rare material from many of the artists involved.
