Boyd Rice

US & Canada tour with Cold Cave / Physical Evidence re-release / Neon Indian remix

Boyd Rice / NON will be the very special guest of Cold Cave on their forthcoming US / Canadian tour in June.

The tour, starting in Los Angeles on 14 June (full details below), will be his first since a series of appearances around the release of Back To Mono, a return to Boyd Rice’s noise roots, and the first new album since 2002’s Children Of The Black Sun.

Featuring tracks recorded and produced by Wes Eisold of Cold Cave, including a new version of 1978’s pioneering noise track, ‘Watusi’, the album emcompasses brand new recordings, alongside unreleased studio and live recordings from the late 70s, plus a cover of The Normal’s ‘Warm Leatherette’. Listen to the title track from his latest album below:

Boyd Rice / NON’s first release was what is known as the Black Album (1975). “When I started to compose and perform noise music in the ‘70s there simply were no other noise groups.” As noise became more commonplace, Rice moved into more subtle and complex recordings. Explains Rice, “Back to Mono was my attempt to demonstrate that the genre I created still had room to grow; that it could still be re-imagined.”

Physical Evidence, a compilation of Boyd Rice’s works produced between 1977-1982 will be released on Mute for first time on CD in autumn 2013, following the success of Back To Mono.

Boyd recently appeared on Neon Indian’s ‘Era Extrańa’ which features his remix of the track ‘Halogen’, the release also includes remixes from Twin Shadow, Actress, Patten and Optimo. Full details – HERE
