Willis Earl Beal reveals "Survive", his new preview of upcoming record Noctunes
Willis Earl Beal has shared the minimalist track "Survive" from upcoming record Noctunes.
Noctunes is the follow up to last year's Experiments In Time. In our review, we said: "Noctunes is not the record that everybody will have wanted from him - it’ll likely leave a certain swathe of the Nobody Knows fanbase frustrated - and whilst it might have benefited from a proper producer to prevent it meandering in places, that almost seems besides the point. This is a soul record that sounds pristine and yet feels raw - whatever else might’ve happened in the last couple of years, Beal’s voice - both literally and creatively - has not been withered."
Speaking about the record, Beal said: "People had all these ideas about what I was supposed to be... I had only ever wanted to make lullabies. I wanted to create this persona that could say everything perfectly with very little. The record, to me, is a perfect record. I listen to that thing a lot, and it helps me."
Noctunes is released 28 August via Tender Loving Empire.
