Very cool to be voted Band of the Month by the readers of Emerging Indie Bands! These guys are big supporters of new music and I'm very appreciative of all they do to keep music alive and well. Where would we all be without it? Here's the page on the website
Very excited that I've got some cello solos in Show Me a Hero- the new HBO mini series starring Oscar Isaac and written by David Simon, creator of The Wire. People are very worked up about how good this show is and how its the best thing Simon has done since The Wire. I loved that show and love Isaac as well so this is a double header for me!! I'm eager to watch Show Me a Hero- I was only able to watch small clips of footage as we recorded the cello at the studio of great composer Nathan Larson. I've played cello on several of his scores, including The Skeleton Twins, starring Kristin Wiig and Bill Hader. It's always a trip to watch this creative genius at work!
Thrilled about this new review from Music Existence!
Here's an excerpt from the article. Play Human is now available on iTunes…..
"The diversity of tracks on Play Human, plays an interesting role in the overall feel of the album. The first track that really stands out is “Hello Silverbird” which provides an 80’s rock feel with a little bit of edge. The lyrics, although simple and straight to the point, are conveyed on a very personal level with rich emotionality.
Coming at a completely different change of pace, is “Prayer for the World.” The meditative and foreign nature creates a sense of mysticism, which is an unusual characteristic for an American rock song. Hoffeld’s performance comes across as a siren crying for global scale peace, while still being introspective and ornately beautiful, even without words.
Overall, Play Human is a masterfully executed work of art. Each and every note on the album comes from a place of complete passion and is crafted perfectly to deliver Noah’s message."
