The third album from this band from Italy.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, ukulele, piano, keyboards, mellotron and vocals.
Some guests added their bass, guitars, violin, cello, theremin and vocals.
This band is a strange bird in the RPI scene. This is because their music is both vaudeville and very theatrical. Something I have noted in my reviews of their first two albums. One of them reviewed ten years ago in # 1 of this blog and the other one reviewed last week in this blog.
NoiaNoir is a forty minutes long album and the band has not changed much during the six years long break from their previous album.
The vocals ranges from shouty ones, talking ones, normal vocals and operatic ones. The vocals are both male and female vocals. The music is vaudeville and theatrical again. There are a lot of folk rock influences here too.
The music is not as dense, bombastic this time around. It is more fluffy with a lot of air.
The quality is somewhere between decent and good here. The songs are simply not up to an acceptable standard. Those into weird and wild music should check out this album.
2.5 points
