We recently had the breathtaking opportunity to check out the dazzling new EP, “Tightrope” from NYC , indie outfit, NOSHOWS . You can listen to “Tightrope” Here
Full disclosure: up until today we were unfamiliar with the absolutely stunning artistry that is NOSHOWS . ( We are truly sorry it took us this long to come to the party)
NYC’s Max Satow, professionally known as NOSHOWS, is finding a fascinating niche as a singer-songwriter and frontman by fusing explorations of the inner workings of the mind with a wildly eclectic blend of alt-rock, hip-hop, and funk.
From the moment we heard the opening melody on “Use To It” we were immediately captivated. The vocals and melodic tones are so perfect that they are a work of art worthy to be displayed at the finest museums .
NOSHOWS has gained a loyal fan base from its electrifying shows at NYC’s Gramercy Theatre, Mercury Lounge, Sofar Sounds residency, UK’s Great Escape Festival, and most recently, a run of Northeast tour dates with Brass Against.
The EP, artfully makes you not only move your feet but it also makes think, which goes along with Satow’s lifelong fascination with the chaos and psyche of the human mind, and his advocacy of such issues, has its roots in his family’s founding of The Jed Foundation, a non-profit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for teens and young adults, giving them the skills and support they need to thrive. It was inspired by and named after the singer’s uncle, who took his own life.
Satow has created a mental health hub of his own with Magnify the Mind, a community whose mission is to educate and advocate for those who need emotional support. NOSHOWS Tightrope EP, co-produced/co-written with two-time Grammy winner Marc Swersky (Joe Cocker, Little Stranger) and mixed by Seth Von Paulus (Smashing Pumpkins, Linda Perry)
We found ourselves, especially drawn to the track, “Let Me Sleep” , flawless vocals coupled with a memorable melody , “Let Me Sleep” is an absolute smash hit.
The title track, “Tightrope” has a real dance/ disco feel . We have a feeling that “Tightrope” could be a future dance club staple.
The new EP, “Tightrope” from NOSHOWS, is an absolute musical triumph that you have to experience immediately.
