Tamaki Makaurau’s Na Noise have officially announced their debut album Waiting For You and released single Sun Stone Air from the album due out November 20th, via 1:12 Records. Waiting For You will be available digitally and on red vinyl LP, pressed here in New Zealand thanks to Holiday Records.

Pre-order Waiting For You HERE or at all good record stores

Waiting For You is Na Noise’s debut full-length, written and recorded over a span of nearly two years and gives the listener an insight in to the band’s unique sonic approaches. The first half of the album (AKA Side Sun) has immortalised their most current creations, which were recorded and mixed across Yolanda Fagan and Peter Ruddell’s (Wax Chattels, Sulfate) home studios. The second half (AKA Side Air) is a snapshot in time from the beginnings of Na Noise, with tracks laid down to tape at Fagan’s home studio and overdubs recorded at Earwig Studios with Darren McShane. Among many unheard tracks, the album features alternate original album versions of the 7” singles, Open The Door and Dance With Me that they recently released, thanks to a nationwide competition hosted by Holiday Records.

Na Noise are the Thelma and Louise of modern DIY guitar based music. The long-time collaborators Hariet Ellis and Yolanda Fagan (both having worked together on BOZO, Vincent H.L, The Echo Ohs and Thee Crockettes) have a rascally take on traditional song — with their new-old songs, the band introduce a new-old sound. Joined by multi-instrumentalist Christopher Varnham who provides organ, drums and various other percussive elements, the three have cultivated a dark sound that is more carnivalesque than it is psychedelic.
