Inspired by a taste for the surreal, Cleveland’s Mr. Gnome has been creating a singular amalgam of gritty, space-psychedelia since 2005, gaining them an ever-growing cult following across North America and Europe. Singer/guitarist Nicole Barille and drummer/pianist Sam Meister bring an unfiltered approach to their craft, their off-kilter album artwork and music videos (that Barille and Meister created themselves) indicative of their sporadic change in mood. Their latest LP Madness in Miniature, released this past October via El Marko Records, crams in everything from nostalgic 90’s psych rock to stripped down, in-your-face blues jams as unabashedly as you would expect from someone like Jack White. Check out the album’s opening track “Ate the Sun” below and try to remember that what you’re hearing is coming from a two-piece. Yea, prepare to be floored.
