Noctunes
“Willis Earl Beal finds serenity in chaos on Noctunes”
Nobody Knows.
“On Willis Earl Beal's second album, Nobody Knows, the music is more diverse and expansive than it was on his 2012 debut, Acousmatic Sorcery. Sounds and styles he only had the tools to hint at before are rendered professionally and in high definition, and his voice is given the sonic space it probably deserves.”
Acousmatic Sorcery
“The gifted Chicago singer-songwriter and self-identified outsider artist makes his full-length debut with an often impressive collection of home-recorded material from the last several years.”
Noctunes
“Willis Earl Beale's Noctunes is a bedroom recording in the truest sense: as it plays, you can almost see Beal sitting in a dark room, calmly peeling off each note. That makes Noctunes a pretty heavy listen from a guy coming off a raw divorce and a very public falling out with his record label. He's got a lot to sing about.”
Acousmatic Sorcery
“Chicago singer-songwriter Willis Earl Beal makes his official full-length, label-released debut with Acousmatic Sorcery. Though his influences are rife with great artists--for example, Tom Waits, Daniel Johnston, Captain Beefheart, and even blues music--not all of them translate into pure magic.”
