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.

about

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
