Pink Noise is a local art rock quartet who strives to keep their audience guessing. Standing on the shoulders of bands like the Pixies and fellow NYC ground breakers Sonic Youth, Pink Noise don’t rely on any infectious pop hooks or catchy dance beats .Instead their latest LP, “All Is Nu”, produces a tremulous vibe, a feeling, a notion simultaneously disarming and eerie. Their sound moves nimbly from amorphous, ambient buzz to more traditionally structured rock with a flick of the wrist. lead singer sharron sulami’s voice is reminiscent of PJ Harvey’s throaty whisper. Unafraid to keep her voice restrained as long as possible, she waits till the perfect moment to let out a howl. the guitars are colorful but not flashy, adding texture but not pretension. for the full Pink Noise experience, check out their live show. they are precise almost to a fault, like four musicians playing with a shared brain. the result is tight, complex, and fascinating.

Festival Coverage

You might as well have a good story, and a three man/one women band whose members met in the Israeli army is a good story. Pink Noise singer Sharron Sulami and drummer Yuval Lion played in the Israeli Air Force big band and served in the occupied territories. Guarding a barracks surrounded by people blood-sworn to loathe you will prepare you for live performance in New York […] Several weeks ago in a club called Rothko, Pink Noise moved resoundingly beyond a Siouxsie label into controlled territory whose fringes are patrolled by Sonic Youth on stage Sulami has the voice and presence of a post-Goth Valkyrie [...] No, precision is the watch word here, from Lion’s remarkable powerhouse drumming ( from Bonham swing right out to avant-rock beats) to the angularity of brothers Yuval and Itamar Ziegler (These two were part of Israel’s first Hip Hop group, Sideffect.)[…} The Album, All is Nu, was mixed by Victor Van Vugt, who worked with P.J Harvey. The goal is to maintain the integrity represented by an art band like Yeah Yeah Yeahs. But horizons are broadening […]

Live Review

Last Tuesday night saw the Beg Yr Pardon event coast gracefully into its fourth edition. As always, the brownies were good, the barbeque optional, and the beer eventually free. The most important guest of the evening was a thriving AC unit, allowing a person to move around a bit without unwittingly changing the color of their shirt. The momentum seems to be picking up, with an increasingly full room of looky-loos. The swelled numbers were treated to a line-up that was meaner, darker, and more to my liking [...] Pink Noise took this week’s prize for favored act, mining a spooky PJ Harvey vibe that is very close to me heart. Despite the occasional equipment troubles, the brooding never stopped. The lead singer was bubbly and charismatic in spite of the prevailing darkness, turning what could have been a gloom parade into a crstalline Blonde Redhead art attack. They also had a mysterious band manager in a fedora, for whatever that’s worth.

Beg Yr Pardon #4 happened last night @ The Delancey. There were good times, great songs, many drinks, dancing and laughing and…well, yeah, all that and then some. Pink Noise closed the night out with a bang. They arrived late due to car trouble but once they took the stage everything was instantly better. Actually, there were problems then too with some power issues but once those got sorted everything was peachy. More so. They rocked and jammed like Sonic Youth of 15 years ago and I was once again extremely impressed with a band I’d never really even heard of before. Shame on me.

Album Review

For a few years now there’s been a surge of Israeli musicians flocking to New York . They populated Williamsburg and formed a musicians community in which they collaborate in different musical projects, one of which is Pink Noise […] I saw Pink Noise Live after hearing their debut album Come On Senses which åcame out over a year ago and was characterized by a rugged sound, reminiscing of early PJ Harvey, and with bursts of surprising melodies […] currently the band is releasing All is Nu their latest album. It seems like the band has been hard at work, their sound is more evolved and the arrangements are much more complex, with unorthodox drum patterns and guitar parts that complement each other while interchanging solo and rhythm parts. The lead singer was the main attraction, in an incredible stage performance she kept deceiving the crowd, at one moment caressing them with sweet melodies then mercilessly whipping them [...]

Album Review

I had a listen to quite a few CDs yesterday (100 or so) - as I have to assign them to our writers soon. I wanted to mention a few that I thought deserved attention: Pink Noise, play a cool blend of edgy indie rock with Industrial influences with strong, dark female vocals. Recommended for fans of Garbage, NIN, PJ Harvey.

Album Review

I was totally blown away by Pink Noise’s All is Nu. This is a band that could overthrow the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s as NYC’s Alt-Rock Kings. My editor, who gave me the CD, said “you got to listen to Up for days it’s the perfect song”, he was right.

Album Review

This new Brooklyn Israeli band has crafted a self produced album that is shockingly great. Its surprisingly great, because they recorded it in their own apt, but as many of you know that is the future of recording. The album sounds as if they recorded it in a huge studio as the guitars soar loudly with Sharron’s voice reaching angelic heights. Fans of Curve, Siouxsie, and Pj Harvey should check this band out. (release date 2006)

Album Review

Some of the Pink Noise membership met in the Israeli Army and also includes old friend of VP Itamar Ziegler in their line-up. Sharron Sulami’s voice drips both breathily and pollutedly sharp at various points, like PJ Harvey in her lo-fi youth. The musicianship is top drawer too, ‘Come Over’ swashing like Beefheart’s ‘Best Batch Yet’. Post-punk but not in a retro-fabulous way, more so that they apply just enough of a nod toward the avant garde in their pop musing. Spidery guitar on ‘It Never Happened’ leads headlong into a gloriously bitty and chaotic climax.

Album Review

New York City – based quartet Pink Noise has blasted their way onto the indie rock scene with their debut album, Come on Senses. This album seamlessly combines the unique musical ideas of four individuals into a soundscape that smacks you upside the head with its intensity and intelligent mix of stylistic tricks.

For a CD that was produced in the band’s Brooklyn apartment, Come on Senses surprised me with its depth. Pink Noise makes liberal use of vocal effects and sampling, but never in a way that diminishes the overall sound. Even on more “rockish” tracks such as “static”, the band exhibits a polished, practiced mix of unique and familiar ideas - the hallmark of competent, thinking artists.

One of the things I like best about Come on Senses is the way it keeps you thinking. The first track, “bound”, completely changes gears when it hits the chorus. Some people might find this sudden shift a little jarring, but I think it’s powerful. The lyrics, by singer Sharron Sulami, get bogged down in symbolism at times, but she more than makes up for it with a smooth hypnotic tone quality that turns into a beautiful roar on “golden times”. The free form rhythm and meter, provided by Yuval and Itamar Ziegler and Yuval Lion, struck me as odd at first; after listening to the CD a few times the rhythmic changes made sense as a complement to Sulami’s poetry.

Come on Senses now has a semi-permanent spot in my CD player. Pink Noise has created a unique, powerful CD that reveals new secrets each time you listen to it. The band plans to tour the US in the near future, and their second album should be out later this year. Definitely pick up a copy and go see these guys if you get the chance
