As organisms adapt to changing ecological pressures, evolutionary processes compel strange mutations and variations that facilitate their survival. In 1859, Alfred Russel Wallace noticed a remarkable faunal boundary demarcated by a small 35km strait between Indonesian Islands. To the West were tigers, orangutans, and hoofed mammals, while the East harboured the platypus, kangaroo, koala and other marsupials.
An ocean barrier and 50 million years divided them.

Auckland-based Dunedin band
Ha The Unclear have today shared a refreshing new track called
Wallace Line, and announced they are hitting the road this April with 4 New Zealand shows to celebrate the single's release!
Tickets to all shows on the
Wallace Line Tour are available
HERE from Birdsnest Entertainment.
While the information age has shrunk the gulf between long-distance lovers to the size of a tiny strait, physical absence is still leaving darlings drowned and adrift on the ocean swells...
Wallace Line 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.
The track was produced and engineered by Tom Healy at Paquin Studios, Mt Eden (
Tiny Ruins,
Popstrangers) and mastered by Jared Hirshland (Anderson .Paak, Tokyo Police Club).
