Rob Noyes has developed a parallel reputation as a master third-generation acoustic guitarist in the post-Takoma tradition. Originally based in the U.S. he wisely relocated to Tokyo several years ago. Which is where this meeting took place,\nAnd while I initially assumed the music had been composed to some degree. Rob assured me that was not true,\nHe says, “I think the recording can seem like something we took a lot of time with and discussed\/composed to some degree, but we actually just agreed to meet at a rehearsal studio. It took a little more than an hour to track it all, without ever having played together before or even really discussing the approach we were going to take. I just tuned my guitar to a different tuning for each one and we let it roll.”\nThe results kinda speak for themselves, but I was blown away by the notion they had never collaborated previously. The intimate nature of their blend recalls such long-time collusionists as Tim Buckley \u0026 Lee Underwood or Loren Connors \u0026 Suzanne Langille. Rob's delicate instrumental arcs create a perfect net for Ayami's vocals, which are usually wordless (although they always feel weighted with emotional content).\nIt's a mesmeric pairing of voices. Which I can only hope is the first of many. Classic Fevers and Chills is a perfect soundtrack for spring, Unconditionally magical.\n--Byron Coley, 2026 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 373px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3927669742\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/feedingtuberecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/classic-fevers-and-chills\"\u003eClassic Fevers and Chills Ayami Suzuki \u0026amp; Rob Noyes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Feeding Tube Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48337150705923,"sku":"FTR832LP","price":5895.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/files\/a1881634492_10.jpg?v=1780637607","url":"https:\/\/meditations.jp\/en\/products\/ayami-suzuki-rob-noyes-classic-fevers-and-chills-lp","provider":"Meditations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
