Noble debut LP The Witching Hour out now
The Witching Hour is the debut album from Galway alt indie-pop band Noble out now on streaming services, vinyl and CD. The full length release follows two well-received trailing singles Warm Air and Kiss Goodnight.
These releases highlight Noble’s ability to move between intimacy and bold, cinematic expression, and set the tone for the elegantly crafted set of songs on The Witching Hour.
The title track, as songwriter Si Noble relates, "is all about insomnia. It’s that time when your head hits the pillow. All you want to do is shut your eyes and drift off, but it’s the time when all thoughts, insecurities and demons come into your head and revolve around in it, and it becomes sort of deafening.”
Though this single is largely introspective, the album as a whole tackles a range of external, contemporary themes.
