Today is the day! Day full of noise! Which means Mr. Moonlee is celebrating release of another fine new record – third full length album from slovenian noise-rockers Nikki Louder, entitled «Golden Men». «Golden Men» is available on CD, 12“ vinyl and as a free download. You can get physical copies via the Moonlee Trade Center, whereas downloads should be handled at Bandcamp. The release is a cooperation between Moonlee Records and Založba Radio Študent. Release party is scheduled for friday, April 19th 2013 in Menza pri koritu, Ljubljana, where Barka Tone In Bele Plombe will play along Nikki Louder, while Djane Vaservaga & DJ Augenmas will challenge your dancing skills. It will be a blast. And yes, sure, what does new Nikki Louder album brings? Well, "Golden Men" can still be loosely defined as post-punky instrument-slaughtering noise rock, elements of chaotic wall-of-sound textures are still present, and thundering rhythm section still forms thick and solid base over which noisy guitars and screaming vocals dance wildly. However, new Nikki Louder album sounds a bit more straightforward and less hermetic than before, the songs have a certain ethereal color and are somehow more concrete, and as such the album will probably be a step more digestible to those used to a more "classical" noise-rock approach. But don’t be mislead – "Golden Men" is by no means less heavy and intense from its predecessors. No way. Check it out for yourself at Bandcamp.
