Ever tire of the limitations of experiencing a whirlwind of droning electronics and looped, equally droning inter-spliced guitar picking from the confines of your bedroom, living room, or even car for that matter? Sure you do. You and I both know the obvious perks to seeing something like this on the stage, at least in the case of Brooklyn-based musician Sarah Lipstate, a.k.a. Noveller. At the very least, her shows will incorporate something like this. So that’s why she’s doing you and I a favor by taking her star-swept epics to the road during the months of August and September, with a little in November too. Much of the tour will be alongside unFact, which is Jesus Lizard David Sim’s solo project, and will also include (!!!) performances with big-man-around-town Fennesz at the Decibel Fest in Seattle and at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA (the latter also featuring another TMT favorite Burning Star Core).
Last month, Noveller released Desert Fires via her very own Saffron label. It has since melted countless brains and will continue to do so exponentially with its vinyl release through No Fun Productions later this year. Meanwhile, her much-anticipated-by-TMT collaboration with Carla Bozulich (Evangelista) is set for release later this year on Not Not Fun, while her album for Important will likely materialize next year, according to Lipstate.
