About Me

Laboratory Noise formed in the winter of 2005. Taking influences from psychedelia, shoegaze, electronica and post-rock, they create multi-layered effect driven soundscapes, underpinned by strong melodies.
Debut EP 'Hope is a Waking Dream' is now available...
£4 inc P+P
It is also available in mp3 format from www.northernstarrecords.co.uk for £2.50.
‘This EP is quite majestic in its beauty and is difficult to fault…’ - Atomic Duster 10/10
‘…a mesmerising collection’ - ManchesterMusic.co.uk 8/10
‘'Here, She is Evergreen' slips comfortably into psychedelia that sweeps you along into the out reaches of space, past the twinkling stars and into the cosmos at large…’ - God is in the zine 9/10
‘You Created A Storm…an appropriate title for a track awash with shoe-gaze effect pedal mayhem and wailing electronics, but which retains an impressive toe-hold on song structure and discernible melody, allowing the six members to shine through.’ - Sandman Magazine
‘'Let's Talk About Psychosis' ramps up the sense of space and sets off on a deep excursion into post-rock territories, with strangely off-key arpeggios and legato drones conjuring a slightly oppressive and paranoid atmosphere that is the flip-side to the earlier breezy optimism.’ – Pennyblack.co.uk
‘you can imagine this is a band you would need to see live to appreciate the true scale of their work, but to me it actually works on record. It’s a rush listening to the songs play out and it’s pretty addictive…’ - Psychedelic Reaction
‘(You Created a Storm)…Coming on like Xtrmntr-era Primal Scream, it’s scaling sonic squels add to the incessant narcotic energy, which builds into a heart attack inducing finale. Exhaustingly brilliant.’ - No-Title Magazine
‘They meld the ethereal grace of My Bloody Valentine or later day Talk Talk with touches of epic post-rock and some serious shoe gazing for a dream-like record. Each song segues onto the next creating a wondrous daze for the listener…’ - High Voltage
‘You Created A Storm’ featured on Bradford music fanzine Mono’s compilation ‘Escape from Monotony’. You can buy this excellent 18 track compilation for just £2 here… www.myspace.com/monobradford
