Guilt Noir, by Michael Arthur Holloway

Guilt Noir

by Michael Arthur Holloway

supported by

Lionel Valdellon (Acid42) Dark downtempo meandering groovy jazz complete with vibraphone, muted trumpet, walking bass, brushed drums, and the occasional vocal sample. Could very well be the soundtrack to a black and white flick about a private investigator and a femme fatale. Favorite track: Bottom Feeder Blues.

Mzwakhe Gorgeous music from you ...thanks! ... I guess jazz music will never die. 🙌❤️🙏

Modern Music Dan Sombre, haunting and lonely, like staring into the bottom of the glass at 2am by a rain-swept window looking out into empty streets. Echoing and atmospheric. Favorite track: Dead Weight.

about

Guilt Noir is the debut solo album by Michael Arthur Holloway, a multi-instrumental composer and producer based in Portland, Oregon.

Imagine if Angelo Badalamenti's soundtrack to Twin Peaks was performed in a smoky speakeasy and you'll have the right idea. Brush drums, muted trumpet, tenor sax, and ubiquitous Rhodes electric-piano feature throughout these 10 mood-driven instrumental tracks.

This is urban noir music for long walks on foggy nights over lonely bridges.
