Synopsis

Album Description

produced by Todd Sickafoose "The World is Bound by Secret Knots is the latest exploration by San Francisco based singer songwriter Noe Venable and released on her own label, Petridish Records. Made over the course of a number of months, the CD was forged in the project studio of producer and bass player Todd Sickafoose. Sonically, Secret Knots finds Noe and her Trio (Alan Lin on violin, Todd Sickafoose on bass) continuing to push boundaries, both sonically and in the arrangement of the songs, with a much stronger emphasis on rhythm than any of Noe's previous albums. Added to the mix are drummer/percussionist Dan Morris (Rufus Wainwright, Smashing Pumpkins), playing a plethora of percussion instruments from all over the world, and guitarist Nels Cline (Geraldine Fibbers, Nels Cline Singers)

CD Reviews

Atmospheric and Beautiful

CollectedSounds | Minneapolis, Minnesota USA | 03/08/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Noe Venable is back with her soft haunting (yet powerful and emotional) voice. The music is a tad more complex this time out (as compared to "Boots") but it still very much in the same vein.
I could pick out my favorite songs, but I'd end up naming them all eventually. But "Black Madonna" really sticks out to me as does "Is the Spirit Here?". In both songs she does this great spoken, almost yelling thing that it at once alarming and cool.
"Feral" also has some great spoken stuff.
"Wings Again" reminds me so much of Sarah Slean it's eerie. It's a more melodic song that the others on here. The piano shows up a lot more here.
This is a fantastic CD, go get it NOW!

"Move over Regina Spektor and Sarah Slean. You've got nothing on Noe.

Noe Venable's voice is almost childlike in an angelic sort of way, but she's able to reach all the necessary high and low notes to move and sway your emotions.

Her lyrics are alluring, and each and every one of her songs stands out in one way or another."
