INTRODUCING #5 DESERT NOISES
November 20, 2009,
Written by The 405
Desert Noises are made up of of brothers Kyle Henderson (guitar/lead vox) and Trevor Henderson (drums/back vox) along with their dear friend Riley Johnson (Bass/back vox). They probably don't follow the Book of Mormon.
Comparisons to bands such as Fleet Foxes are valid to a point but ultimately their atmospheric backbone is what set's them apart. It's all swirls and floating vocals on a sea of reverb.
I urge you all to give the following video a look and then download the awesome 'New Man', which see's the band bring the tempo.

Yo Jake, where your review at, i'm curious! I think for me what made it stretch to 9/10 was teh fact it's really accessible and just occupies it's own little niche so well right now, I really can't think of a band with another recent release that I could compare them adequately to. Anyway, glad you liked it! [view article]

I love how everyone always forgets that this isn't the full lineup by a long shot and a good chunk of the best bands aren't usually announced straight away. [view article]

All three are worth a listen to be fair. I wouldn't have stretched quite as far as 9/10 (in fact, I didn't when I reviewed it elsewhere), but it is very good. Dusty Fruit is probably my favourite track (the early version of it, "Don't Trust the Dusty Fruit", is also very good!). [view article]

Jake, I know what you mean, but if i'd have admitted that it wouldn't have fitted my whole 'difficult second album' bit now would it? ;) [view article]
