Num.ber Goodbye

Numb.er is the sonic brainchild of Los Angeles based photographer and visual
artist Jeff Fribourg. With a background in graphic design, Fribourg imbues his
work with a sense of architectural composition, layering angular guitar riffs and
analog synths over throbbing drums and driving bass. Fribourg developed his love
affair with synthesizers and his openminded approach to music as a founding
member of LA psychkraut favorites Froth. However, it was only with the
creation of Numb.er that he was able to fully explore his eclectic musical
inclinations. Combining elements of punk, shoegaze and postpunk, the project
never commits to a singular worldview, allowing Fribourg's vision to go anywhere
without sounding ironic or forced. With the release of Goodbye, the band's first
LP due in late May on felte, Numb.er offers a genredefying sonic document that
finds them maximizing the creative potential of the studio while always remaining
true to their dynamic and arresting live soun d. Mixed and mastered by Mikey
Young of Total Control, Numb.er takes a carefully orchestrated approach to
chaos and adds Fribourg's own subtle knack for memorable hooks and soft,
melodic passages.
