Jonezin' Music [02.13.03]
"Maybe this is what Sheryl Crow would have sounded like if she had chased art over commerce, or maybe it's like Suzanne Vega streaking through the woods on opium."
Ani difranco
"Ravishingly Melodic"
Pure Music [07.11.02]
"Here we have a homegrown, full blown young musical visionary, and a window into a part of the new San Francisco sound. This train is headed somewhere..."
Secret Knots was made over the course of a number of months at Eary Canal studios in Oakland, forged in the furnace, sheltered from chill winds and given ample time to come to fruition. Much of the CD is material which the NV Trio were playing and developing on the road with Ani Difranco, Boz Scaggs, and They Might be Giants, so if you saw the Trio at one of those shows and asked about a song, chances are it's on here.
Produced and engineered by bass player Todd Sickafoose, "The World Is Bound By Secret Knots" features Nels Cline(Geraldine Fibbers) on guitar, Alan Lin on violin, Dan Morris(Rufus Wainwright, Smashing Pumpkins) on percussion, and Andy Borger (Norah Jones) on drums.
Noe Venable's artistry runs strong and deep. The daughter of a writer father and a reading teacher mother, Noe grew up in San Francisco. As a small child, she made up songs, strumming along on an autoharp-- usually tunes about witches dancing around cauldrons, or about Pan and his nymphs and other characters from Greek mythology. As a high school student, she obsessed over making paper maché mermaids. As a college student, she majored in playwriting and performance. Today, as a songwriter/composer and recording artist, with four records under her belt, Noe is unique in her artistry and comfortable in her uniqueness.
