Back in November Interpol's Daniel Kessler and sound designer Joseph Fraioli debuted their first collaboration under new moniker Big Noble.
Fraioli describes the aims of Big Noble as: "immersive and perspective-changing...sonically a lot of the arrangements feel technically vast, but there’s an intimacy that I hope listeners will find addictive to escape within."
This new track - "Stay Gold" - is a slice of serene ambience. This tranquillity is juxtaposed in the video by slo-mo clips of hustling, bustling urban life; there's a reflective quality to the noise as various passersby, of all walks of life, look past the camera.
First Light is released 2 February on Affiliates Sound via Kobalt Label Services.
Watch the "Stay Gold" visuals, directed by Andrew Robertson, below.
