Alex and George are Able Noise, an experimental baritone guitar and drum duo, based between The Hague, the Netherlands and Athens, Greece.
They released their debut album ‘Recordings’ on GLARC in October 2020, following a smattering of songs put up on Bandcamp and Youtube.
The duo came to GLARC’s attention through label alumni Bamya & Horse Whisperer, after playing in Glasgow on a tour across the weirder DIY spaces of Europe. They share some ground with an assortment of younger musicians - including Tara Clerkin Trio, Still House Plants and Wendy Eisenberg – who take established instrumentational forms (guitar, drums), an interest in free improvisation, and a willingness to explore a palette of emotion, live ‘sampling’ and ‘pop’ melody within such frames. ‘Recordings’ marked Able Noise’s first attempt to put their sound into recorded form, having so far focused on the live performance, and this is the duo’s first chance to tour in Britain since the release of the album.
