On The Fondalack

Dipped In Double Meaning

Breathe In The Ether

NOICE presents a futuristic sonic landscape in a riling, cinematic album that plays out like a hypnotic space opera. In the face of our technologically exploding culture, Alexander Noice explores the elusive nature of identity and self-discovery amidst an increasing array of distraction and affectation.

Alexander Noice’s modern take on art-rock pulls on jazz, electronic music, and minimalist opera to create a sound that is inimitable and deeply personal. This amalgam of stylistic influences provides a variegated sonic bed for lyrics that delve into topics involving false pretenses pervasive in modern social contexts, and the search for meaning in revelations of science and technology. Grappling with counterintuitive manifestations of these trends, Noice dresses these themes in a sonic tapestry that marries mechanistic elements with undeniably human expression.

Relentless linear virtuosity in the guitar and saxophone intermingles with fervent, soaring operatic vocals, which either add to the band’s manic energy with sharp rhythmic articulations and lyrics, or cool it down with beautiful melodies. Thumping drums and electric bass fuel the engine of NOICE, with interjections of tailor-made samples, organically woven into highly intricate arrangements. The samples include Ethiopian vocal recordings, 808 drum samples, and recordings of children with stuttering speech syndrome, among many others. NOICE’s attraction to the extravagant visual and narrative aesthetics of filmmakers like Federico Fellini, Stanley Kubrick and Alejandro Jodorowsky make this band’s performances cinematic in scope.

NOICE sits in the cross-section of the cerebral and visceral, placing its explorations of modern culture front and center. The debut release by this ensemble on Orenda Records features an extraordinary batch of compositions by Alexander Noice, and is poised to be an instant classic from the Los Angeles underground music scene.

Ambit

“Its madcap whirlwind of frenetic angelic/robotic voices, propulsive funk rhythms, jazz-bent saxophone and spiraling galaxies of intricate guitar patterns is beyond breathtaking…there’s no one else even attempting this kind of daring and bracing music”  -LA Weekly

"Brilliantly executed…contains an almost inhuman amount of energy and dexterity. It’s a testament to both Noice’s compositional and arranging skills and the band’s seemingly endless talent and nuance” -Pop Matters

“His music subverts everything about popular rock and pop…lavish and rewarding album" -The Quietus
https://thequietus.com/articles/27014-noice-alexander-noice-review

A marvelously arty orchestral album that revels in its individuality. Complex operatic vocals blend in with jazzy riffs before a post-punk urgency blasts off and then a chorus of what could be monks on speed chants in…this is art rock of a type that is rarely heard because of the incredibly demanding arrangements and orchestrations. We are talking potential top-10 records of the year here” -Vancouver Sun
