Patrick Fiore might not typically disclose his innermost thoughts in conversation, but he certainly weaves them throughout his music as Noble Oak. Under this nom de plume, he wraps up all of his deepest ponderances in shimmering keys, cinematic production, and organic instrumentationāas if leafing through a diary under the glow of incandescent soundscapes. Projected by a luminous timbre, his voice rings out loudly on tape, while he keeps to himself in everyday life. After reeling in millions of worldwide streams, and receiving acclaim from tripleJ, BBC Radio, HYPEBEAST, Stereogum, DIY, Clash, and more, he opens up like never before on his forthcoming sophomore album with Last Gang Records.
āThese are my thoughts, dreams, faults, failures, fears, hopes, and wishes,ā he states. āThe songs say everything Iām too scared to say out loud for fear of burdening others.ā
