Bluetile Lounge formed in
Perth, Western Australia in 1991. One of the band's early songs, "Concrete/Tunnels", featured on a compilation tape released by Guy Blackman's
Chapter Music label. Blackman went on to become Bluetile Lounge's first producer. Bluetile Lounge entered a 23-year hiatus in 1998. In 2017, in ranking
Lowercase as the fifth best slowcore album, Anthony Carew of
ThoughtCo called it "a five-song, 45-minute study in isolationism, in a persistent loneliness leaving one feeling utterly unmoored; unsurprising sentiments for a band from Perth, the world's most isolated major city". == Reformation and reissues ==
