With more than a quarter of a century of noise making history behind him, Harry Armstrong returns alongside drummer Kieran Murphy as Noisepicker, for The Earth Will Swallow The Sun, a brawny new release heaving with off-kilter bluesy rock ‘n’ roll which is released via Exile on Mainstream today.
Do not expect neat, polished, note perfect, carefully constructed sound on The Earth Will Swallow The Sun. Noisepicker are loud and abrasive. They pay homage to the genres which made them fall in love with music in the first place – doom, punk and blues – and bring it all together in a hearty and heavy concoction that is all their own.
About the album, Harry says;
“We set out to make an album that’s raw, energetic, live and brutally honest, and we think the result speaks for itself. Recorded in an afternoon in a room with carpeted walls, using equipment older than ourselves, and embracing a complete disregard for modern recording techniques, this album sounds like a band in a room because that’s what it is. If you seek perfection, look away. Any flaws you hear are real. Any mistakes, human. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. Enjoy!”
Noisepicker is booking tour dates in support of The Earth Will Swallow The Sun, with more widespread touring coming together for the Summer months.
