THE LAST NOBLE THING
Is the end of the world the beginning of another? On the eve of the apocalypse, what would you say to the next generation? Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter and composer Carlisle Evans Peck circles through these intractable questions in a breathtaking new EP The Last Noble Thing. Struck by a sickening cognitive dissonance while teaching young students in an elementary school in a world seeming to approach ecological and social collapse, the five songs that would become The Last Noble Thing grew from wondering daily what can be done for children in a world faced with an impossibly bleak future. From the relentless opening notes of the record, Evans Peck plunges headlong into a gripping musical journey through apocalyptic dreams. Here is a rawness that cuts to the bone while burgeoning an intense and passionate intricacy that shows an artist stepping fully into their power.
