Along with the piano and the post-rock ambiance, the improvisatory group NOUS bring on a vision of breathtaking silence over grand music aesthetics.
Featuring respected and loved members of Swans, Ghost Against Ghost, Liturgy, Ben Frost and members of the ACME ensemble, NOUS sound like a philosophical super-group in all existence. In Greek, the band name evolves around the word “thought” or “intelligence” and it comes down to the truthful mind games of one’s choices.
Somehow, you can fear the heart of the “Transitory Reality” palpitating away into the abyss. It’s a perfect ecstatic void for the ears to linger on and forget about the core of things. Magical production and orchestration until the very end. Enthusiastically the dark melts away with the grey shades bringing out a life of a tale once told. Enjoy the release out on Our Silent Canvas records.
As Mr. Bono explains, “Nous aspires to bypass the lower level thought patterns of the egotistical mind and encourages the connection of those involved to reach a higher level of consciousness, providing a creative space where intuitive, unexpected, and unexplained results can occur.”
