'The Noise in the Sky' is the highly anticipated follow up to KBD's highly praised '09' debut 'The B Suite', and sees him delving deep into his 70s influences.. While on tour, he travelled by day listening to 70s jazz and played by night in electro clubs and festivals. While in Detroit to play at the DEMF festival, he visited the historic Motown studios in Hitsville USA and realized the duality of his musical position: influenced on one side by 70s sounds and being part of the Ed Banger label; in his studio, vintage Moogs and Rhodes sharing the space with a computer and plug-ins: he questioned himself on this duality and endeavoured to find a musical answer. That answer is displayed in 'The Noise In The Sky' - a brilliantly rounded musical thesis... Opener and title track sets the tone with percolating arpeggios, scything synth pads and thumping drums, before moving on to take in the caustic rattle of 'Amplifried' the anthemic jazzy glitches of 'Empty Boy' and the crumpled future ballad of 'Must There Be An Angel'. 'A Child Is Born' finishes off the set with gorgeous burbling Eno-esque synths that during its breathless 40.48 minute runtime showcases the full range of this supremely talented beat craftsman! Krazy Baldhead is one of the Ed Rec crew’s accomplished musicians: he spent ten years at the Conservatory practicing electronic instruments, but also the piano, guitar, bass and percussion. This is an artist who didn’t hesitate to go off to India to practice the tabla and infuse himself with their hypnotic rhythms for four months. With his first salary as an engineer Krazy Baldhead bought his first machines and started exploring new sounds, he then sent a demo to Pedro Winter, then manager for Daft Punk, who had just created his label Ed Banger. The abstract and heavy beats of his ‘Bill’s Break’ became the label’s fourth release. His debut album The B-Suite was released in 2009 to universal praise, with the single ‘Sweet Night’ featuring Irfane from the Outlines, giving his first appearance on Ed Banger. The format was an ambitious one: an ‘electronic symphony’ in four movements with electronic sounds built over a classical structure. He also included encounters that he made while on tour (the Brooklyn rapper Tes, Big-O from Japan and Mademoisselle Yulia, and Outlines and Beat Assaillant from Paris).
