JOE GIDEON

Noredindian worked with Joe Gideon on the release and tour around his 2020 album Armagideon on Clouds Hill Records.

The record was written and recorded with Jim Sclavunos whom Joe met on tour in 2012 with his band Joe Gideon & The Shark, and their band mate Gris-De-Lin. Joe, Gris-de-Lin and Jim play all the instruments in the densely layered arrangements, which include an army of saxophones, an antique piano, a cranky old synth-vibraphone rescued from the dumpster, heavenly choirs and a menagerie of percussion instruments. The new single is a statement of intent ahead of the new album release -- the listener can look forward to Joe’s ruminations on, amongst other things, time travel, primordial bliss and reptile people.
