Premiere: Lee Noble / Hobo Cubes.
January 4, 2011, 1 comments
Dropping split tapes, 7 inches or even EPs might be artistically challenging, a way to connect like-minded musicians who are able to inspire each other, but on the other hand it might also be considered a very effective way to put out tunes at times when your material won’t suffice to finish a full-length. Anyway, the latter suggestion is without any doubt no problem these four artists have to deal with. Upon Austin, Texas drone experimentalist Derek Rogers‘ initiative, he, Eric Hardiman aka Rambutan, plus NFOP darlings Lee Noble and our favorite Québécois Frank Ouellette aka Hobo Cubes have gathered to compose a double cassette, quadruple split release that’s gonna be put out later this month via Oakland’s Deep Tapes.
Every single musician got 15 minutes of finest magnetic tape to fill, and below you can take an exclusive first listen to two tracks by Lee Noble and Hobo Cubes. Noble’s Indian Princess marks another milestone in his already impressive oeuvre, nearly seven minutes of beautiful contemplation, an ambient playground for Noble’s calm and comforting voice over layers of synth and some gentle guitar lines. The first track on Hobo Cubes’ side, Waiting to Return, is a different matter but no less intriguing. The tune is a fine example of Ouellette’s incredible synth craftsmanship, a six minute trip of drone-infused psychedelia that draws quite heavily on kosmische and even subtly on early 80s minimal synth.
