Inspired by a taste for the surreal, Cleveland's Mr. Gnome has been creating a singular amalgam of gritty, space-psychedelia since 2005, gaining them an ever-growing cult following across North America and Europe, as well as praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Spin, NPR, Paste, Bust, and more. With a nod to the off-kiltered, singer/guitarist Nicole Barille and drummer/pianist Sam Meister bring an unfiltered approach to their craft, allowing for emotional and sonic variance. The duo's mood swings are mirrored by the band's surreal album artwork and music videos, all created by Barille and Meister themselves. Twisting from soft lullabies to interstellar chaos, the intricately woven musical tapestries and hallucinogenic interludes pounded out by the duo represent an all-encompassing gaze into two delicate-yet-roaring, hypnotic-yet-beautifully disconcerting minds that come together to make sense as one.
