Dark Ambient and Noir Jazz
In this episode, we’re diving into the world of Noir, film or otherwise, to discuss how it has evolved from cynical post-war artistic movement to bland genre pastiche. The modern euphemism for this process is “becoming a vibe.” We focus this discussion on two albums that express the range of noir-influence in music from richly textured dark ambient to abrasive noise jazz.
