about

The Noisettes are a rewarding enigma. A decades-spanning faceless conglomerate of prolific personae from the mind of a long time researcher into weirdo America and the musics of the cosmos.

Appropriately, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORLD quickly reveals itself in listening to already having been long ago launched and traveled far off into interstellar inner space. The following journey suggested itself to me during my last listens to this frequently returned to slow burn.

As we awake from hyper-sleep in the opening bars of the album, we gaze lazily at our body beneath us, the interior of the chamber, around the interior and exterior of our vague surroundings, the sleep in our eyes of light-years.

Composing seamless electronic palettes of variation and flow. You find shimmering revolving discs of light surrounding you. In a solitary gaseous cloud waterscape. a vast lake at night between nebulae.

Night everywhere.

Lulled into a drowsiness by the featureless expanse, parts of the mind attentive, nano-neurostimulants on automatic dimming sense the static and power down for a stretch of space, drifting sounds of echoes through the spacecraft, creaks and moans.

Whirring motors like mechanical insects, sounds of night, corridors through asteroids, transmissions leaking, unintelligible. the room only the walls, the ceiling, floor disappear, swept along with movement.
