Tom HallMuted Angels
Complicated Dance Steps / Sonoptik
- Though he may be gadding about across the globe, the rather prolific noise-meister Tom Hall (Axxonn, Secret Birds) developed his taste for the sonic in Brisbane. You may well have heard him messing around with drone, doom, psych and even synth-pop, but he has decided to associate this release under his own name with tasteful ambience, albeit of a rather epic quality. In fact he may have been quoted as saying he was looking for the sweet-spot in a speaker-cone, right before it tears - once a noise-head always a noise-head! This is an album built of grand, floating sheets of synthetic sweetness, occasionally plunged into storms of distortion and thundering white noise. These muted angels can be both beautiful and terrible to behold.
