Noveller

'Desert Fires' is Noveller’s full-length follow-up to last year’s No Fun debut 'Red Rainbows'. The sounds on 'Desert Fires' express a compositional evolution from layered loop-based drone work to more expansive formal arrangements of swells, throbs, tones and shimmer. Where 'Red Rainbows' presented an anthology of studies in technique—from early bedroom recordings to Noveller’s first exploits in the studio— 'Desert Fires' illustrates a refined, deliberate meditation on the physical relationship between Lipstate and her electric guitar. Handling the instrument as her muse, Lipstate summons a sonic palette so rich as to challenge the listener to conceive of how it’s housed in a single instrument manipulated by a solitary performer.
