Country-tinged renditions of Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart,', The Cure's 'Just Like Heaven' and Tears for Fears' 'Head Over Heels' will all grace the track list.
With the news of his debut, the Austin-based pedal steel prodigy offered a sampling of the upcoming release with 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and one of the EP's originals, 'Cleopatra'.
“I am very happy and proud to be sharing my music with the world," the artist shared. "I’m so glad [my brother] Nate and I could make this record together and all our friends get to hear it.”
Alongside his 13-year-old brother Nate on bass and their dog Kara, Pedal Steel Noah has become a star on Instagram and beyond with his unique take on songs by a wide array of hitmakers from Devo to George Strait.
Over the last year, Noah has garnered a number of influential supporters, like Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Frank Black of Pixies, Big Thief, Neko Case and others along the way.
