from DOUBLE ACE, released October 11, 2012
Using the thread of time and experience Perseus Noble weaves dreams. Inspired by the infinite beauty of the vast deserts and mountain ranges of New Mexico this vision comes forth. Realized through the beauty of the stars and the beauty and spiritual depth of the woman. The silence of the desert night and the footsteps of a baby rabbit. The silent twilight and the smell of the desert, the sounds of the lizard scrambling across a boulder and the pain of a life destroyed by accident. The calm warm wind of summer nights, the leaves falling in the hot afternoon from whispering branches. The clear night and the open sky. Long vistas and endless sunsets and all of the objects of the universe. These are the creative influences that encompass the music of Perseus noble. The music is catchy and hypnotizing with an other worldly feel. Perseus Noble will be enjoyed by fans of artists such as Pink Floyd, Syd Barret, Elliot Smith, Prince, Ween, David Bowie, Cat Stevens, Neil Young, New Order and Joy Division. The messages in the wind, the sun rays, the warm rocks, the sand and the telepathic thoughts of others are the inspiration for the lyrics. The emotions felt by all and said by none. Looking through the transparency of this façade called reality. The devastating nature of the passage of time. Seeing all things get old and die as new experiences create new life. The vacant parking lots, the abandoned factories. The broken down and forgotten houses. The discarded gas stations and restaurants. The desperate dive bars and endless alley ways. The lonely highways in the desert. The grave yards and roof tops. The secret tunnels and doorways that extend below the massive cities. The separate cultural universes that exist infinitely. The pain of loss and the glee of discovery. Perseus Noble grew up in Chicago in one of the more violent neighborhoods on the north side. Having a unique perspective and sensitive perception quickly made him an outcast in this cruel system of conformity and acquiescence. This inability to fuse with the herd gave Perseus a lot of time in which to perfect his music and become a truly notable artist. After several years of being over exposed to violence and the desperate and competitive do or die mentality of the urban reality, Perseus Noble left the cold cruel city and moved to a small town in New Mexico. Here he discovered the opposite side of the spectrum and was embraced by the natural elements of this desert wonder land. This unique fusion of polarized life experiences formed a new sound that is pleasing to the mind. He began writing and recording the first album in 2006 and the project was completed by 2007. With the production and keyboard and bass playing of fledgling producers Marky B and Justus Roe, and the innovative beats of drummer Nick Spizzirri, the final work was realized and is considered a master piece by underground musicians and eclectic music connoisseurs.
