BLACKWELL'S RECORD OF THE WEEK

BLACKWELL'S RECORD OF THE WEEK

Rob Noyes / Alexander split-single

scum stats: seems limited, but who knows?

Open tuned acoustic guitar rambles can propel me for days. And on a 7” single? Be still my heart.

This song (untitled?) just jumps right into things with no messing around and does not stop or even slow down for the entirety of the 3:20 duration. Ends abrupt like a bullet to the head. This guy is going places.

Was hipped to Noyes by some email list or another, his debut album packaged as SEALED shut in a quasi-envelop style AND with original Raymond Pettibon art. An inauspicious start, to be sarcastic. He does not disappoint.

I don’t know anything about Alexander, but I can say that his track here, while a little less manic, does not disappoint me.

A solid two-sider. Rare. Enjoy.
