Portugal indie-pop artist Noiserv has a 7" coming out early next month on new record label LebensStrasse Records (that's the single's cover art above). Experimental pop alchemist Julianna Barwick contributes a remix of his song "Melody Pops" as the B-side, and she gives the tune her own ethereal touch. - Pitchfork
"Noiserv is Portuguese singer-songwriter David Santos, and 'One Hundred Miles From Thoughtlessness' is his impressive debut album. Utilizing instruments like guitar, melodica, metallophone, bells, synths, accordion, omnichord, megaphone, effects, toys, musicbox, and stylophone Santos weaves everything together into a delicious chilled mix. An extensive influences mix gives an indication of the sounds here,Sigur Ros, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Badly Drawn Boy, Radiohead and Arcade Fire can all be heard. A wonderful new talent from out of nowhere, and an album that will prove irresistible to fans of Iron & Wine, Jose Gonzalez and melodic indie-folk."
