Habits
View Artist Page
The four tracks on Habits reflect Gisela Silvestre's myriad musical and cultural influences. Everything from Dancehall to Tropicalia to leftfield R&B are present, while the lyrics are sung in a mix of Spanish and English. NOIA also incorporates her work as a sound designer for film, creating a range of custom percussive sounds – her snares are stacks of assorted foley items, while her hi-hats are comprised of digital distortion trash.
Although NOIA writes from a dense creative place, her music is accessible on the surface. Both casual listeners looking for a headphone jam and heads demanding a deeper sonic experience will find much to appreciate in her material.
