Welcome to Noise Not Music. Here you’ll find writing on recent releases, various features and lists, local show reports, mixes, and more.
I tend to focus on material that resides in the experimental or avant-garde realm of music, but nothing is off limits. If you have an album you’d like me to review, please email me. When I say nothing is off limits, I really mean it. However, I only review albums I like, and the “reviews” themselves are more intended to encourage discovery rather than to express my opinion. I am much more likely to check something out if it is not sent as a promo blast or press kit. I almost always restrict coverage to things that have come out in the past month or so. My inbox is always full and I can’t get to all of it.
Currently the site is written by just me, Jack, but I always want guest writers. Hit me up if you’d like to contribute a review, report, etc.
