Sent From My Telephone by Voice Actor (Noa Kurzweil and Levi Lanser) landed on STROOM, and nobody quite knew what to do with it: more than 100 tracks, sequenced alphabetically. We always like to highlight oddities, and this one became one of the most interesting releases of 2022. It was reportedly conceived as a radio show, something you’d tune into in installments. Noa and Levi spent roughly three years sending tracks to the label (via their phone, we guess) as they finished them, and the pile kept growing until it became something else entirely: Noa’s hushed, diary-like voice drifting over crackly loops, fractured beats and hazy soundscapes. If you like trip-hop, hypnagogic pop, field recordings, experimental music, ambient pop and sound collage, this one is for you. For a long time, almost nothing was known about who was behind it, which only fed the mystery. Fans pieced together clues from credits and record store blurbs.
