ATHENS, GREECE (Top40 Charts) The Noise Figures, the musical partnership comprised of drummer-vocalist
George Nikas and guitarist Stamos Bamparis, are proud to announce the release of their sophomore album, Aphelion, on
September 28th, 2015 on Inner Ear Records.
Recorded live in 5 days, on a reel-to-reel tape machine, with vintage gear and tuned to A=432Hz know as Pythagorean tuning-the frequency of Cosmic Pitchfork, produced and sound engineered by Alex Bolpasis in Artracks Studios.
Turned their amps all the way up, set their fuzz pedals on obliterate, and commenced to answer the question of what happens when you combine the bacchanal lust of "Black Sabbath", the raw energy of "Death from Above 1979" together with the guitar-fuzz of "Black Angels". Bastardized blues scales with simple chords and patterns squeezing them into a tightly wound mass of fuzz and force.
Athenian two-piece drums-guitar duo, formed in the summer of 2012 after an Ikarian Feast-an ecstatic-intoxicating sacred night, by Athens-based
George Nikas and his childhood friend Stamos Bamparis. Coming from Greece's lost generation and eroded by the feeling of being unjustified, caught up in a frantic whirlwind looking to rediscover the true purpose in life.
The Noise Figures driven by the transformative power of playing, expressed their dizzying energy for life by generated a quasi-mythical aura tinged by fuzz garage tunes. And this is nowhere more obvious than on their self-titled debut record, released on November 18th of 2013 via Inner Ear Records.
In 2014, the economic crisis and their savings from the layoffs were the reasons to leave the carelessness of Greek 'Sun' and tour extensively in
Europe in search of the rock n roll realness and evoke the primal emotion to be a touring rock band.
The Noise figures have shared the stage with
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Japanroids, The Growlers, Dead Meadow, No Age, Sonic Jesus, Sylvain Sylvain, earning the reputation as a captivating live band.
