‘Noveller’

Sarah Lipstate is a musician and filmmaker. She uses her guitar with a series of effects to create introspective, droney, instrumental and melodic ambient landscapes. She recently toured as Iggy Pop's support and has also played alongside artists such as St Vincent, Xiu Xiu, the Jesus Lizard, U.S. Girls, Aidan Baker and Emeralds. She released her first two full-length albums on Brooklyn noise label No Fun Productions in 2009. In 2010, Lipstate started her own imprint, Saffron Recordings, as a vehicle for releasing the Noveller full-length Desert Fires and a split LP between Noveller and unFact (David Wm. Sims of the Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid). In 2011, she released the critically acclaimed Glacial Glow. She teamed up with Important Records and Taiga Records in 2013 to release the highly anticipated follow-up album No Dreams. In July 2014, Shelter Press released a vinyl pressing of a collaborative effort between Noveller and Thisquietarmy.

Lipstate has collaborated with several renowned musicians, including live improvised duo performances with Carla Bozulich (Evangelista, The Geraldine Fibbers), David Wm., Sims Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), and JG Thirlwell (Foetus, Manorexia). She has previously performed as a member of Cold Cave, Parts & Labor and One Umbrella.
