It’s a thing of beauty when you stumble upon a song, artist,or any musical talent that hasn’t quite yet made its way to the rabble, and under the shadow of the American Pop Culture Umbrella (ella-ella, hey). I recently made that very same stumble when I was turned on to a very auspicious duo by the name of Noosa. Hailing from New York, Noosa consists of Singer/Songwriter Sky Barbarick (I assure you, that’s not a fake name) and producer Matt Buszko. Their self-titled debut EP is a five-track stroll along a sun-drenched beach and, more importantly, it’s not always a secluded one.
Noosa’s sound
blends a variant mixture of anthemic synths, pop-like vibes, light piano and
acoustic -- none of which overpowering, but also not too lackluster to get buried underneath Sky Barbarick’s colorful and anything-but-ordinary voice. Perhaps
the most exciting element backing Noosa
is the diversity between one song and the next, something similar acts don’t
quite deliver on. The release commences with the brilliant progression that is “Walk on By,” and just as you fall in
love with the overall theme, you’re given a brand new one to become acquainted
with in the more punchy “Sail.” This
duality can be found throughout the EP, which is something exquisitely refreshing.
All-in-all, Noosa’s EP
is very encouraging, as it foreshadows what great things we can come to expect
from them. Keep an eye out for a full-length release in the not-to-distant
future.
Key Tracks: Listen to them all. But for you impatient ones:
“Walk on By”, “Sail”, “Fear of Love”, plus a brand new one just released, not
to be found on the release, “Heartache.”
You're Welcome.
You're Welcome.
