Nouveaunoise - To Where It's Alright
First off I gotta say I sourced this from a CD (wha that?) given away with Analogue Magazine. It was called Peek!, cleverly so because it shines a light on those Irish acts that most deserve it. If CD’s aren’t your thing then head over to this page and download it for free. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the songs contained within so shall be investigating the better ones over the next few weeks in a series of posts. The first stop off comes from Nouveaunoise, a west of Ireland duo who specialise in remixes but from the evidence on ‘To Where It's Alright’ could have a very productive sideline in original compositions. For that is what this electronic piece of artistry is, a highly original ensemble of digital drama. To me it sounds like all the best bits of electronica stripped from a Sigur Ros album and clipped together to make an affecting tune in its own right. Some days there’ll be a festival named after them. KD
