 Ben Noble 

Ben Noble is a Minneapolis-based artist and producer. His serene, innocent melodies drift lithely along textures that range from sleepy-time folk to intrusive, experimental synth scapes. He released his debut album ‘Whisky Priest’ in the spring of 2017. Fully self-produced and recorded in a cabin, it is a journey of exacting introspection. A sea of guitars, strings, and ethereal falsetto voices detail Noble’s early days of fatherhood, wrestling with the good and bad in himself, trying to do right by his daughter. His sophomore effort,"Where The Light Comes In" was released in 2020. Noble's sophomore effort is a major expansion of the sonic palette, introducing drums, synths, electric guitars, and much more to Noble's signature ethereal vocal melodies and textures. It is as much an aural experiment as it is a heart-rending search for answers to questions of grief and the cyclical nature of trauma. Noble’s 3rd album, 'Bitter Work’ is a journey through the constructs of his religious roots and the ways that he has tried to learn outside the confines of dualism - right and wrong aren’t as certain as we are taught. It is both experimental and jarring, seeking to pair a dose of sonic discomfort with equally precarious truths. Noble also creates music as Lake Union, Glass Echoes, Hi Noon, Solset

“Ben Noble’s music is a sonic sanctuary.”CITY PAGES

“Noble’s intimate sound and lullaby-like melodies set him apart in the Twin Cities music scene.”THE WAKE MAGAZINE

“Obvious comparisons to Bon Iver wouldn’t be too off, especially with his looped falsetto and harmonies. But Noble’s ultra-tender voice and haunting writing style better recalls Damien Rice”STAR TRIBUNE

“Lyrics though crucial are lost when not put to the right mood and Noble absolutely blends them to a T. You can write your own narrative to each song or soak in the words, either way the journey is nostalgic and peaceful.”TWIN CITIES MEDIA

 

“If music can melt hearts, this song has the power and intensity to make a dead man breathe.” - SKOPE MAGAZINE
