The enigmatic duo Mr. Gnome is back, ready to warp our perception of what music can be with their latest release, A Sliver of Space planned for 27th of September.
For over a decade, Nicole Barille and Sam Meister have been defying genre boundaries, creating a sound that refuses to be pinned down. The pair has long been known for their ability to meld desert rock, psychedelia, indie rock, and electronics into a swirling vortex of sound that is uniquely their own. With A Sliver of Space, they take that genre-defying ethos even further, crafting an album that feels like a living, breathing entity—a shifting landscape where soundscapes twist and turn, refusing to sit still.
The album’s lead single, “Nothing and Everything,” set the stage with its swirling, hypnotic rhythms and textured layers, but it’s the follow-up, “Fader,” that truly captures the essence of Mr. Gnome’s musical alchemy. Clocking in at a sprawling seven minutes, “Fader” is nothing short of a sonic behemoth. It’s a track that demands to be played loud—preferably on a pair of headphones that can capture every intricate detail.
