Papa J & Tidal Water's Digital Noise Deliver Humorous, High-Octane New Cut 'Blind and Arrogant'

Oslo's Papa J & Tidal Water's Digital Noise return with a captivating sonic concoction, 'Blind and Arrogant', following hot on the heels of their previous single, the electrifying 'Defiance (Drum and Bass Edit)'. This new offering is a testament to the duo's innovative approach to electronic music, seamlessly blending glitchy, intricate beats with a pulsating bassline that'll have you hooked from the first listen.

At the heart of this sonic adventure is the dynamic partnership between Papa J, a seasoned producer with two decades of experience under his belt, and Martin Hovden, the vocal force behind Tidal Water, the project from which Digital Noise sprung. Papa J's masterful production skills provide the rhythmic backbone, while Hovden's versatile vocal styles and lyrical wit add depth and narrative without ever feeling confined to a single artistic expression.

'Blind and Arrogant' is a sonic playground of glitchy textures and erratic, digitally manipulated sounds that keep you on your toes. Papa J's knack for sharp percussive elements and unexpected interruptions creates a sense of unpredictable dynamism, offset by smoother, melodic moments that showcase Hovden's vocal range. The lyrics, delivered with self-deprecating humour, explore themes of ego and arrogance, making the track both relatable and refreshingly light-hearted.

Adding another layer of sonic richness are the live drum elements contributed by Jim Lehner, bringing an organic feel that complements the digital precision. This fusion of live and synthetic elements creates a rhythmic tension that evolves throughout the song, keeping the listener engaged from start to finish.

'Blind and Arrogant' is a significant leap forward for Digital Noise, building upon their initial drum and bass foundations and pushing into new creative territories. It's an exciting glimpse into the project's evolution and a testament to their commitment to pushing the boundaries of electronic music. With more singles and a drum and bass EP slated for release this fall, it's safe to say that Papa J & Tidal Water's Digital Noise are artists to watch in the ever-evolving world of electronic music.
