The warm fuzzy, hazy and old school garage rock from the self titled Album by Athenian band ‘The Noise Figures’ has us pretty impressed. With ist Kerouacian inspirations, it highlights the experiences, influences, passing adventures and wisdom that the diversity of travel brings about. The gruffy extended vocals on most of the tracks, experimental music on songs like Bones and Tame the Knife and the overall kickass powerful guitar work, create a very unique blend of Greek/American Fusion, which is worth multiple listens:
This Album was sent to us by our friends in Inner Ear, which is an independent record label, that was established in 2007. It is located in Patras, Greece. They have a very good and enviable line up of extemely talented artistes that you could check out via their Website: http://www.inner-ear.gr/
Cheers!

Karan Khurana ( Born in 1982, Mumbai, India) makes photos and mixed media artworks. By using popular themes such as pointlessness, old monuments and nightlife, Khurana creates intense personal moments by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles.
His photos don’t reference recognisable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. By applying abstraction, he touches various overlapping themes and strategies. Several reoccurring subject matter can be recognised, such as the relation with popular culture and media, working with repetition, provocation and the investigation of the process of expectations.
His works are saturated with obviousness, mental inertia, clichés and bad jokes. They question the coerciveness that is derived from the more profound meaning and the superficial aesthetic appearance of an image. By parodying mass media by exaggerating certain formal aspects inherent to our contemporary society, he makes works that can be seen as self-portraits. Sometimes they appear idiosyncratic and quirky, at other times, they seem typical by-products of consumer-oriented superabundance and marketing.
His works often refer to pop and mass culture. Using written and drawn symbols, a world where light-heartedness rules and where rules are undermined is created.
Karan Khurana currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany!
