Gramophone Magazine Reviews What is ~Nois

“This latest album by Chicago-based saxophone quartet ~Nois immediately lays bare the extent to which the medium has departed from its traditional origins as an acoustic ensemble, performing notated compositions in a concert setting as one might associate with a string quartet. While the standard instrumentation of soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones forms the basis for ‘What is ~Nois’, its timbres are fused here with keyboards, drums and guitars to form flights of creative fantasy and virtuosity, leaving the listener wondering who is playing what.”
