The Rest Is Noise

by Darkroom

supported by

Peter Jones Stunning. Beautiful sonic explorations, each worth what I paid for the whole lot - sorry for under-estimating it! Favorite track: Don't Take The Beats For Granted.

Tim Grady Not usually the sort of music I go for but this record is thoroughly captivating. Very good to dip into now and again. Hauntingly beautiful. Favorite track: Don't Take The Beats For Granted.

about

The Rest Is Noise is based on Tuesdays Post (www.tuesdayspost.com) performances from April to October 2014. Thom Yorke may just have upstaged us with an 18 day long song, but it's hard to imagine anyone being able to listen to that in one session. Whereas The Rest Is Noise - short by comparison at just under 4 hours - is a virtual boxed set, edited and mastered for your extended listening pleasure. It's the evolving live Darkroom sound captured and distilled, from serene ambience to noise furnace, together with photography for each piece by new collaborator Israel Denadai.

about

Darkroom UK

Guitar but not guitar; synthesizers but not keyboards – Darkroom’s music starts with improvisation and a distinctive approach to sound design, followed by disciplined editing and stop-motion studio craft. By turns beautiful and beautifully ugly, theirs is a very human music that always sounds ‘played’ not ‘programmed’, despite the essential technology. ... more

The Last Sense To Fade
by Darkroom

supported by 20 fans who also own “The Rest Is Noise”

Another superb release from this highly underrated unit. The duo's mastery of electronics perfectly compliments the very human elements of guitar and woodwind often found at the centre of their compelling music. This release, beautifully packaged, sits among their finest work and is sure to be appreciated by anyone with an interest in ambient, drone, electronica and the chilliest fringes of techno. Make room for the darkness! bobafett5001
