Returning to Rewire, Alex Andropoulos and George Knegtel make up The Hague–based experimental warble-core guitar and drum duo Able Noise. Harnessing an organic and spatial approach, their sophomore album High Tide (2024), on label World of Echo – follow-up to their debut Recordings (2020) on label GLARC – is a collage-like selection of hauntological gems that reverberate with sonic remnants. Using voice, cassette tapes, and non-conventional playing methods, the duo whittle strange and vivid songs that are guided by noises, texture, and melody. Clean mid-western guitar tones and a crunchy penchant for grit proliferate in Able Noise’s warm no wave sound. Listening to their emotive creations builds an acute sense of closeness that feels somehow awry – as if eavesdropping on a private discussion or reading a stranger’s diary.
