Noon Chill
by Arto Lindsay
The 2017th greatest album of all time
Noon Chill blends Arto Lindsay's delicate, whispering vocal delivery and thin, occasionally dissonant guitar with soft electronic beats, subdued ambient textures, and bossa nova rhythms filtered through art pop and rock sensibilities. The arrangements favor mood and contrast, pairing gentle melodic lines with prickly studio treatments and minimalist grooves. The result is a polished, intimate record that highlights Lindsay's interest in marrying Brazilian influences with experimental production techniques.
