Noiseshaper returns with FLY UP — the third single from their highly anticipated upcoming album. By 2019, the release of King Size Dub Special: Noiseshaper and Paolo Baldini Dubfiles Meets Noiseshaper rekindled the band’s spark.

Tracks like Rock Your Bone, featuring Jamaican singer Simple Straw, and a remix of Horace Andy’s Skylarking signaled a revitalized sound. Noiseshaper are internationally recognized for their fusion of dub house and dub techno, with celebrated tracks like The Only Redeemer, We Rock It, and Rock Your Bone.
Their productions are defined by a unique blend of organic dub roots, soulful melodies, and electronic innovation. A message of flying up…

This is an auspicious pairing: Baiman has earned raves from American Songwriter, VICE NOISEY, Folk Alley and has 60,000 monthly listeners. She has collaborated with Erin Rae, Shaboozey, Kacey Musgraves, Kevin Morby, and Molly Tuttle. Under the Radar has raved about Durham, NC-based Viv & Riley’s “warmth and organic joy [on] welcome folk delights.” They’ll be touring this spring with the Wood Brothers. First single “Where’d All The Time Go” (originally by Dr. Dog) came out in May, whilst “Ashes of American Flags” (Wilco) is out today June 13 and the album “Kissing Other People” (Lennon Stella) is due July 11.
The harmonies on this thing are magic. It initially presents as a folk album, but it includes a fair amount of indie rock sensibility and experimentation, from the musicians trying instruments less familiar to themselves to unconventional recording methods (a ‘90s camcorder used to capture room audio, abstract sounds in the Wilco song, off-kilter guitar sound on the Dr. Dog tune, etc.).
Many of the tracks are drawn from early takes, with the energy and ideas fresh. The band decamped to a studio in the Connecticut countryside but ended up making the entire record in the accompany midcentury modern house, never setting foot in the actual studio, recorded often in the living room and even the indoor pool when they needed extra natural reverb. The idea began when the acts toured together and asked each other what non-folk music they each listened to in the van, and that led directly to a few of the song choices on here, including Lennon Stella and Waylon Payne. “Hold On Magnolia” holds special significance to Riley, as he went to Oberlin, where Jason Molina also attended.
