[note]Noah Venkatarangam recently released the cinematic and whimsical album Wonderheart. The rich production and theatric vocals bring you to a world of Noah’s own inspired creation. Antidote had the opportunity to sit down with the artist to discuss his music and his upcoming show at Mercury Lounge (on May 31st).[/note]
Could you give us a brief history of how you started with singing, how has the journey been?

Breaking-up is always a bitch isn’t it? Full of emotions, recklessness and heartache, people contemplate their relationships, their experiences and try to push forward through the loneliness. Tove Lo, a Swedish Pop starlet, has captured this confusing time we all experience with her debut EP, Truth Serum. The song brewing on charts around the world is “Habits,” with an equally remix by Hippie Sabotage titled “Stay High.”
Love songs are embedded in Western culture. We all understand love, we all yearn for it and we all analyze its effects. “Every song you hear [on the record] is a love song, but every song in this world is a love song. What’s not a love song?” Asked Jesse Boykins III, as we discussed his new album Love Apparatus.
Listening to Voices, Phantogram’s latest album, offers an escape for listeners. The dark cinematic music ushers you into the night, into a buzzing mind that is both racing but self-aware. Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter perfectly emulate their music. The duo seems most comfortable talking about time spent in silent countrysides and late night recordings.
Hyped & Ready to Conquer
The music industry today is not the same as previous generations. Artists are discovered fast. Fan bases develop early and grow internationally at the same rate a town would’ve once learned of a band playing in a garage down the street. Social media and the unfathomable number of music blogs have made the competition fierce for acclaim and success, but also allows the strongest to survive and proposer at a quickened pace.
