“..from the sound of this smoky, undulating R&B track, it’s going to be your winter sex soundtrack” – PAPER

“ …tweaked out synths riding a danceable beat.“ – NYLON Guys

“He layers his filtered vocals over the claustrophobic drum patterns,  and he displays his distinct and interesting vocal delivery as it melts into the woozy beat.” – Complex

“I have no idea who Novellus is or how a SoundCloud link for “Reign” ended up in my inbox, but once I pressed play I immediately poured out a libation onto my carpet thanking God for the blessing.” – Indie Shuffle

Deep in the outer swampland of the electronic music scene dwells novellus who will release his debut EP Untitled on January 26 via New Ancestors, the new label created by Jason Friedman (The Hundred In The Hands; Warp Records). The modern day hermit who surfaces only sporadically and when he feels inspired to do so brings to life mutant-pop futurism filled with room shuddering beats and snap back melodies.

The mysterious producer revealed two new EP tracks late last year, “Tough,” a cocktail of R&B beats with danceable disco-infused percussion and the erratic beats of “Felt.” The newest addition to the collection, novellus has unleashed “Talkback,” both smoky and sultry with its immediate mid-tempo groove.

novellus writes his story in music, skewing and sampling his own sounds until it cuts sharp as a razor producing six fractured and slanted tracks about love, power and paranoia. Skipping the perfect polish, HDR photos and marketing gimmicks; novellus delivers his unique brand of alternative pop without any care for a pristine aesthetic. What you need to know is in the grooves. The rest is distraction.
