BOMB Fest '011 - Nosaj Thing

As B.O.M.B. Fest approaches, our artist profiles will be kicking into high gear, particularly for the new discoveries. There are a number of artists we would have never gotten into without the Bombacis forcing our hand, but we’re so glad they did.

This year’s lineup features quite a bit for experimental electronica fans, and L.A.-based Nosaj Thing certainly fits the bill. Jason Ford’s chopped up synth and percussion combines with a killer light show for one of the more captivating live experiences out there. Ranging from spacey and ambient to driving and manic, you’ll have a hard time picking a favorite track off either his Views/Octopus EP or debut full-length Drift (which might have the best album art in recent memory). Check out “Fog”, a key track off Drift, and part of a recent Brooklyn set at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, showcasing the visual experience. Be sure to catch his performance on Sunday of B.O.M.B. Fest in Hartford. You won’t regret it.
