Experimental sound alchemist NOISEPOETNOBODY, led by one Casey Jones, will release his latest full-length, This City, via Scry Recordings on August 3rd.

NOISEPOETNOBODY has spent much time performing in underground venues, bars, art galleries, abandoned buildings, and illegal DIY spaces forever seeking to promote mental deprogramming through anti-commercial sonic immersion. Each NOISEPOETNOBODY set is a one-of-a-kind exchange of energy employing analog electronics and improvised inspirations via speaker cones.

Issues Jones of This City, “This new collection is inspired by the pressures of modern urban survival and absurdist philosophy. In This City, arguably the worst hit song of the ‘80s melts like a popsicle on the summer sidewalk into a pool of psychedelic bubbling liquid…remnants of previous live performances are mashed into a churning machine that holds no regret. Stark hardware beats give context for interruptions of past experience. The search for order brings the individual into conflict with the universe.”

This City will be released digitally. For preorders and to stream first single, “Parking Garage,” visit the Scry Recordings Bandcamp page HERE.
