Noyz

Brampton, ON

Raised on the music of Toronto's gritty urban indie scene, but residing in the well-kept outskirts of Brampton, noyz's songs are a soulful combination of thoughtful emotion and optimistic honesty."Let Go", his 2002 release, is a varied collection of experiences, styles and sounds. One cut of introspective, melodic folk is followed closely by hook-laden guitar-pop. The sound of noyz (aka Noyan Hilmi) brings to mind the sounds of Hayden, Elliott Smith and Pedro The Lion. Building on a confidence born of his live performances, "Let Go" is a bold exercise and a great showcase for noyz's many talents. From candy pop to acoustic poetry to up-tempo literate grunge, noyz imbues each track with spirit, nerve, energy and a refreshing rawness. To listen is to feel like you're eavesdropping on a coffee-shop conversation, or reading a stranger's love letters.
