In quick succession NOUS, the experimental rock supergroup led by Christopher Bono. keep delivering one strong release after the other. The NOUS full lengths are about to become a trilogy, with NOUS III scheduled to arrive May 29th, 2020 via Our Silent Canvas.
Conciser for the band's standards, new track Blush possesses all those qualities which have made NOUS' sound so appealing in the first place, from the exploratory deliberations to the challenging and assimilation of styles, as well as the nimbleness in the band's delivery which plays a strong role in all of the band's recordings.
Everything in this trilogy of albums has been the product of a five-day retreat orchestrated by Bono. The recordings were made at the renowned Dreamland Studios, a converted church, with producer Kevin McMahon (Swans, Titus Andronicus). Christopher Bono (Ghost Against Ghost) was joined by feautured players Greg Fox (Guardian Alien, Zs, Ben Frost, ex-Liturgy, Uniform), Shahzad Ismaily (Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, Bonnie Prince Billy), Thor Harris (Swans, Angels of Light, Amanda Palmer, Shearwater), Grey Mcmurray (itsnotyouitsme, So Percussion, Tyondai Braxton), with guest musicians from Múm, Mercury Rev, Ra Ra Riot and more also included as special guests.
