Numb.er Share New Video For AGAIN, SXSW Shows Announced

Los Angeles-based band Numb.er's new album Goodbye is out now on felte. Today Post-Punk premiered Numb.er's official video for "Again" directed by Travis Waddell from Goodbye. About the video Post-Punk says, "'Again' is featured on the Jeff Fribourg helmed project's debut LP Goodbye, capturing the minimalist spirit of early post-punk, yet creating a framework that can flourish in different creative directions-like the more raw garage punk sound unique to the track. Structurally this makes sense, given Jeff Fribourg background in graphic design which aids him in imbuing his work with a sense of architectural composition, layering angular guitar riffs and analog synths over throbbing drums and driving bass, while maintaining hints of his krautrock background from his founding of the band Froth. Numb.er has announced shows in Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Diego and will be playing next month at SXSW. In Austin, the band will be performing at the Felte / Part Time Punks, Levitation Festival, Burgermania VII and more. All upcoming shows are listed below.

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 open-minded approach to music -- as a founding member of LA psych-kraut 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 post-punk, 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, Numb.er offers a genre-defying sonic document that finds them maximizing the creative potential of the studio while always remaining true to their dynamic and arresting live sound. 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.
