Description
N0V3L is an engine for entertainment and social criticism weaponizing rhythm and melody against unsound powers that be.. Rigid new-wave, angular funk, polyrhythmic disco and intellectual punk together approximate a radical new sound that forms the principle means of ideological circulation. Drawing influence from such mindful processors as Devo and Public Enemy, N0V3L offers an empowering, politically charged stance in fierce opposition to the modern cultural landscape, a forceful call to mindfulness and moral resistance. N0V3Lâ€™s debut full-length, NON-FICTION, comprises 11 tracks that function as a treatise on modern existence and the perverse parameters within which itâ€™s experienced. Itâ€™s a collection of agile, carefully-constructed post-punk, new wave, funk, and garage rock thatâ€™s been zapped and warped by an opioid overdose crisis, mental illness, populism, and the merciless onward march of time. Intimate sadnesses and structural violences are blurred to the jagged quirk of sharp guitars, commanding bass, acrid saxophone, and mournful keys, all propelled ever forward by nimble drumming. Itâ€™s dark and occasionally danceable, a macabre late-capitalist disco under a pall of confusion. NON-FICTION was written between 2017 and 2020, and recorded on a Tascam-388 in the bandâ€™s since-torn-down rental home. Bryce Cloghesy (Military Genius, Crack Cloud) produced and mixed the record, which trades in the first EPâ€™s martial rigidity for a broader approach to actualizing the bandâ€™s tensions. The Vancouver tear-down, previously the bandâ€™s headquarters for producing music, videos, and clothing, was slowly evacuated, as members moved out in advance of the inevitable; another casualty of Vancouverâ€™s merciless housing market. N0V3L, once a concentrated machine, is now spread across the western province of British Columbia.
