NOV3L Announce Non-Fiction

It’ll be hard to get past the nostalgic leaning of NOV3L for many listeners, but rest assured, despite nodding to the past, there’s something wholly refreshing about the approach the band are employing as they announce their debut LP, Non-Fiction. Those guitar chops are scissor-sharp, plucked carefully so as to not set your feet kicking in the air. Bass lines bob and weave, seemingly indifferent to the rest of the outfit’s functioning. The vocals come off as slightly indifferent, but also yearning for a listener to slide right in. When woven together, you get this sort of bastard child of Gang of Four and the Rapture, only spun in the fashion of that middle school slow dance; it’s disorienting, as you expect a turn and a step here, they never give you that, steadying themselves in their own brave brand. Hopefully we get more of that from Non-Fiction, out May 28th via Flemish Eye Records.
