Nick Noemi – “But I Can Tell”
Friendly guitar twangs and warm acoustic strums make “But I Can Tell” an instantly amiable success, via Eugene, Oregon-based singer/songwriter Nick Noemi, who released his debut album Dr. Rocket this past September. Currently living in Seattle – where he’s very active in the music scene when not working at a ramen shop in Capitol Hill – Noemi shows a variety of talent on this gem. There’s a natural sort of power-pop and rock nostalgia present – the sort that acts like Dr. Dog and Foxygen pay tribute to – but also a very enticing psych-pop edge, reminiscent of Ariel Pink’s symphonic-like creative glee throughout the hook starting around 01:30. “But I Can Tell” is infectiously rewarding for anyone into power-pop, rock, or psychedelia — which casts a wide net.
I don’t think anyone realizes how much his music meant to me ?? If anyone can see this, Hi! Just recently I’ve been able to listen to Dr.Rocket again and I’m THRILLED! Thank you Nick for making this album
