about

Originally hailing from Richmond, VA, an oft-time
contributor to artists such as Edith Frost and Simon
Joyner, and a member of the groups Drunk and
Manishevitz, Via Nuon continues his lasting contributions
with the hyaline Twin Knowledge. Whereas previous
releases were suffused by a melancholic surrealism,
Twin Knowledge straddles the tangible and the
otherworldly with a quiet playfulness. Nuon's delicate
guitar-work is augmented by plinking piano melodies
weaving in and out of range, melodious flugel horns and
snaking marimbas, the occasional electronic pulse or
electric guitar line, and at times, whispered male and female
vocals, or no vocals at all. The record unfolds like
a delicate yet welcoming labyrinth, where Robert Wyatt
and Hieronymus Bosch collaborate to form Nuon's
backing band.

A perfect addition to an already accomplished body of
work, Twin Knowledge reveals deeper layers of BEVEL
and hints at other levels to come.

BEVEL Chicago, Illinois

For over two decades, BEVEL has been the solo project of Via Nuon, a Chicago-based artist who employs a uniquely literary and painterly approach to the music he creates. Nuon executes his dreamlike psych-folk with the care and fragility of a cartographer. It informs the beauty in BEVEL's music, which bleeds out like details emerging from a map of a forgotten city. ... more
