HI RED CENTER’S “ASSEMBLE” AND BIZZART’S “FUTURE STARS” RELEASED TODAY
Joyful Noise has just officially released two fabulous albums from opposite sides of the country / musical spectrum…
HI RED CENTER
Needless to say, we are big fans of New York City’s Hi Red Center and their twisted, schizophrenic version of pop. Time Out New York says that their new album Assemble “features enough brainy harmonies and jagged rhythms to please the egghead set, but it also plays just fine as a left-field pop record.” We couldn’t agree more.

BIZZART
Los Angeles’ Bizzart has been creating his strange blend of spirit-infused avant hip-hop for nearly a decade. With his fourth full-length album, Future Stars And Small Wonders, Bizzart’s patented sound-collage-hip-hop takes on a more focused and listenable form. Teaming up for the first time with producer and creative director Christian Gibson, a.k.a Innaspace, the duo have weaved an album out of drum machine samples, circuit bent instruments, SKRAP Hop sensibilities and manipulated field recordings into a world of sonic sound art wonder.
