NOISEPICKER – Astral Noize Premieres “A Taste Of My Dying” Video

UK-based duo NOISEPICKER presents a new video for “A Taste Of My Dying,” a track from the band’s 2018 Exile On Mainstream-released debut LP, Peace Off. The video has been made available to the public through a premiere at Astral Noise, as the band prepares to take part in Exile On Mainstream’s 20th Anniversary label Roadshow tour and celebration at Roadburn.
 
For their debut full-length, Peace Off, NOISEPICKER continues a similar trajectory to their EP, heavily influenced by their love of distorted heavy sounds, and blues music, as well as the spirit of the UK punk scene, in which Armstrong has been immersed in for years. NOISEPICKER‘s Peace Off is an album of heavy, gritty, gnarled and thrashing blues romp, which takes a myriad of sonic twists and turns throughout, making it one unpredictable listen. It’s time to pick your noise and eat it.
 
NOISEPICKER‘s Harry Armstrong (also of End Of Level Boss, Lord Of Putrefaction, Decomposed, Hangnail, The Earls Of Mars, and others) offers, “As with all of our videos, we have no budget, so everything is filmed and edited ourselves. Usually I just point a camera at Kieran and he goes with the flow. I think he’s learning to trust me now… Especially as all his scenes were filmed indoors for the first time! I decided to go on a little road trip over the new year and shot the whole thing in a couple of weeks making the locations become ever more industrial as I went along. It’s based around the idea that you can run, but you can’t hide. But what is it that YOU are running from? hmmmm?!! Sit back, turn it up and enjoy. The ride will be over all too soon.”
 
Astral Noise notes, “NOISEPICKER‘s stirring fusion of blues, punk and doom is an endearing one, and one that guarantees authenticity and freedom from pretension.”

After years of performing, and reveling in loud, hard-hitting music, UK-based singer and guitarist Harry Armstrong has sought the darker side of his musical taste, channeling heavy blues in a new group called NOISEPICKER. Armstrong had been germinating twenty minutes of material when he recruited Kieran Murphy on drums, who was working in a bar, washing dishes to the soundtrack of Orange Goblin and Muddy Waters just stumbling distance from where NOISEPICKER‘s sound was being conceived. Armed with a trusty Fender Stratocaster, a single loop pedal and a pile of patched together old equipment, NOISEPICKER performed a handful of gigs in small pubs, clubs and art galleries, and within two months the pair captured their sound in South London’s Crows Nest studio, which resulted in the doom/punk/blues EP.
