Multi-instrumentalist Sarah Lipstate brings her innovative music to life under the name Noveller. Forming unexpected sonic routes, her songs are vivid and cinematic. Following several years spent collaborating with Iggy Pop, and touring the world as his guitarist, Lipstate returns with a new album of her own. I Am The Weather further expands her inventive explorations, creating what Pop once described to Jim Jarmusch as symphonies for people that dont have a lot of time.

Sarahs work as a composer, notably for the HBO Docuseries Breath Of Fire, as well as the Anthony Bourdain documentary Roadrunner, has greatly influenced her new constructions, incorporating piano, percussion and a new studio filled with excitement into her signature guitar sculpting. It is the baby grand at the center of her studio that welcomes you to the record on Sunday in Copenhagen before ceding to a celestial six string swell. The percussive rhythms of Divining Dance awaken a new morning in The Way of Our Flood and walk towards the bowed grace of Otherside of Mountainside. Surging into the sky, Portmerion allows Beyond the Fells to glide back down to Earth, revealing the albums biggest surprisea vocal track!

It seems fitting given their past, that the first vocals on a Noveller record would be delivered by the legendary Iggy Pop. Written specifically for The Godfather of Punk, a noir-ish tale of a man over-matched by a femme fatale, The Girl Who Was Death builds with tension and release. Following their collaboration on the title track to Iggys album Free, (also used in a global campaign for PETA) and their interpretation of Dylan Thomas Do Not Go Gently Into The Night, Iggy was eagerly awaiting the opportunity to add vocals to another Lipstate composition. A scene set as if on opposite ends of a corner booth at the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks, he delivers each line with the weight of a thousand lives lived. The result is a song so vivid that you can see it projected ten feet tall on the walls all around you.
