Welcome to Noise Not Music. Here you’ll find reviews of recent albums, various features and lists, and occasional mixes. I do not agree with the statement I’ve chosen as the title for this site; everything I write about here—a great deal of which could be called “noise”—is music.
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 or comment on a post. When I say nothing is off limits, I really mean it. However, I only review albums I like, and the “reviews” themselves (“blurbs” might be a more accurate label, but god, what an awful word) are more intended to encourage discovery rather than to express my personal opinion. Also, I will be much more likely to review an album if it is not sent as a promo blast/press kit. I almost always restrict coverage to things that have come out in the past two weeks or so.
Currently the site is written by just me, Jack, but I’m open to expanding in the future. If you’d like to write a guest review or essay please reach out.

**In support of Bandcamp United and in opposition to the corporatization of independent music distribution, I do not link to Bandcamp on this site. If you would like something to be considered it needs to be available for purchase or download elsewhere.**
**Material hosted on Nina Protocol or any other platform associated with cryptocurrency, NFTs, or artificial scarcity of any kind is also very much unwelcome here.**
