John Fryer’s Week in Pop
John Fryer has practically soundtracked your entire life. The artist/producer legend co-founded 4AD, This Mortal Coil, & has produced Nine Inch Nails, Dead Can Dance, Depeche Mode, DarkDriveClinic, HIM, Cradle Of Filth, This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, etc, just dropped the Black Needle Noise single “Breathless Speechless” with Sivert Høyem & presents the following exclusive Week in Pop guest selections:
The most recent offerings from Black Needle Noise are collaborations with Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly and Delerium. ‘A Shiver of Want’ just released this past week—it was immediately preceded by Swimming Through Dreams with dreamweaver Mimi Page, who also contributed vocals and songwriting to the latest Delerium album Mythologie. This whole project is about collaboration and the many diverse awesome things that can come of this.
With Black Needle Noise being like an octopus and reaching out to all parts of the music world and cross pollinating, I give you some of the music from the awesome singers who have joined me to become part of the BNN family—there are also many talented artists here, so I encourage you to explore more of this collaborative output at Black Needle Noise’s bandcamp.
