“It's part of No Age's allure that Nouns is so difficult to figure out, that it manages to be so big while coming from a place so small. All you'll know for sure is that you want to listen longer. Maybe forever.” – Pitchfork, 9.5
“L.A. may be the center of plastic glamour, but this noise-punk duo prove the city still has a dangerous side.”– Rolling Stone
One of the top ten Best New Acts – Mojo
“My favourite new band.” - Bradford Cox
L.A experimental lo-fi drum-and-guitar duo No Age are Dean Spunt and Randy Randall, ex-members of hardcore band Wives.
Spunt (drummer/vocalist) and Randall’s (guitarist) live shows are an exploration of possibilities: a guitar laid over a resonating drum head, effect loops woven together like beautiful harmonies, pop songs as performance art, a duo that sounds like the gale force of rock history delivered through a wind tunnel.
The pair’s powerful force, both as a band and individuals has reached such great heights as to inspire The New Yorker and The Los Angeles Times to examine No Age’s position in the underground scene surrounding the Los Angeles all-ages club The Smell (where for the past several years they have each volunteered in various capacities, including booking shows and running the soundboard).
No Age’s Sub Pop debut, Nouns, is all-encompassing; from the faux-simplicity of the title to the beautiful distortion of its sound, to the packaging that includes a 68-page full-color book packed with photos and art pieces.
No Age issued a slew of singles on a variety of indie labels in 2007, resulting in the cohesive compendium, Weirdo Rippers on Fat Cat Records later that year. That widely heralded release set the stage for Nouns.
Recorded by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound in LA, Harvey Birrell at Southern Studios in London, and at home by No Age, Nouns opens with a symphony of noise and creeps and smashes through a sonic headlock befitting Daydream Nation-era Sonic Youth, Kiwi pop, power pop, My Bloody Valentine, and experimental noise.
“No Age is a band,” says Dean. “Bands should be fun and exciting and they should push all the buttons at the same time. They should make you feel like you are going to explode and make you utterly confused and inspired at the same time. At least they should.”
