Search - David Garland :: Noise in You

"David Garland is a superb, crazily imaginative songwriter." -- Village Voice "David Garland ... has an uncanny knack for framing his keen observances of the mundane into highly personable art-pop songs. He coaxes his tales into devilishly catchy melodies, wraps them in beguiling orchestrations, and delivers them with his warm, inviting baritone." -- Time Out New York Noise In You is an album of gorgeous music about noisy emotions: our desires and distractions, anxieties and passions, love and loss, and the living hum of our bodies. It is David Garland's eighth album since entering New York's downtown scene in the 1980s, and it is the first to receive the wide distribution and attention his music deserves. Garland, a multi-instrumentalist currently exploring the sumptuous jangle of a twelve-string guitar, sings with a voice that is deep, honest, and intimate. Noise In You is unclassifiable: it is pop music that's both experimental and accessible, and is rich with intricate layered harmonies and startling colors & textures. It features the beautiful, sometimes mystical voices of a younger generation of musicians--Sufjan Stevens, Mira Romantschuk (Mi and L'au), Diane Cluck, Viking Moses, and David Deporis--together with guitars, flute, piano, clarinet, sarode, oboe, and more. Noise In You unfolds as a wondrous, subtly interconnected song cycle that sweeps you up in its imaginativeness, drama, and sensual pleasure.
