NOOC - The Beauty Of It All (Sealed) (CD)

The first album of the German artist nooc - "the beauty of it all" - impresses with its deep english lyrics. Nooc sings about tristesse, despair, loss, friendship and breaking love, but also gives the whole thing a dash of self-irony, paired with black humor. The 13 timeless songs convince by great, beatlesque melodies, as they are not often composed by artists these days. Quiet Lowfi piano, strings, mellotron sounds, funky drumgrooves and basslines, acoustic guitarspicking, screaming fuzz guitars as well as frusciante and virtuosic guitar solos that always serve the song and enrich it with a further deep and moving facet, combined with the striking voice of the Songwriters and composers - all this is nooc.
