September 22, 2015

The Noise Figures from Athens, Greece are our Spotlight Band which consists of drummer-vocalist George Nikas and guitarist Stamos Bamparis. They are set to release to their new album, Aphelion on September 28th on Inner Ear Records. What is great about this album, is the organic and pure sound that was achieved as The Noise Figures recorded the album in 5 days on a reel to reel machine with vintage gear and tuned to A=432Hz which is called the Pythagorean tuning.
