NOBLE OAK – “EVENINGSTAR”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
The head-nodding bounce of βEveningstar”, the video directed by Brian Ceci, winds through hazy production as Noble Oak’s delivery instantly captivates. βItβs a recognition that the past isnβt going to overtake the future, and itβs up to us to make the best decision for the moment,β he notes. βThe song was written at night. I looked outside, and I could see Venus. It goes through gratitude, longing, heartbreak, and a bit of nostalgia.β
Patrick Fiore might not typically disclose his innermost thoughts in conversation, but he certainly weaves them throughout his music as Noble Oak. He wraps up all of his deepest ponderances in shimmering keys, cinematic production, and organic instrumentation.
Projected by a luminous timbre, his voice rings out loudly on tape, while he keeps to himself in everyday life
This approach has continued to engage an ever-growing fan base. The classically trained Vancouver native learned piano at a young age and devoted the better part of his formative years to solo piano and symphonic compositions. Integrating beat-craft and synthesizers, he formally introduced Noble Oak with his debut label backed album Horizon [2020], followed by his instrumental piano EP Stories (2021).
After reeling in millions of worldwide streams, and receiving acclaim from tripleJ, BBC Radio, HYPEBEAST, Stereogum, DIY, Clash, and more, Noble Oak opens up like never before on his forthcoming album, When It Finds You. At the core of the album he explores the concept of inspiration. As a whole, this record examines what inspiration is and the moments it finds youβor you find it,β explains Fiore.
Written, recorded, produced, mixed, and creative directed by Fiore, When It Finds You, is set for release on July 7th via Last Gang / MNRK. Catch Noble Oak live this Saturday July 8th at Kathsahlano Festival and in Montreal (July 14th), Toronto (July 15th) and Rifflandia Festival this September
