Desert Noises

The sounds of the desert have been quiet for quite some time now, but lucky for all of us, that’s all about to change.

Orem based, indie-folk band Desert Noises, signed to Northplatte Records, have been on somewhat of a hiatus lately, mainly because member Kyle Henderson was on tour with Joshua James.

“We are soon headed into the studio to record our full-length album, which we are so excited about and plan to release in early spring of this year,” Henderson said.

The upcoming album will be the band’s first full-length, a follow-up to its debut EP released early last year.

Desert Noises also includes Riley Johnson and Kyle’s brother, Trevor. The band’s sound has been compared to Fleet Foxes and Band of Horses because of its beautiful harmonies and catchy, folk-inspired tunes.

Desert Noises will be playing the City Weekly Music Awards in February and already have several shows booked around the area. This is one band you don’t want to miss!

THE SAME SEVEN QUESTIONS WITH KYLE HENDERSON OF DESERT NOISES

Who or what inspires you?
I think everything inspires us. Life. Surroundings. Experiences. Of course other artists and groups inspire us at different times but we listen to so many different things it’s hard to just nail someone and say “that is our inspiration.” It’s hearing the things we like and trying to express the feeling in our own way.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I tend to forget things. It occasionally causes problems. I would love to change that.What makes you happy?
Enjoying our close friendship (not just being a band).

What is your greatest fear?
I have the fear of drowning.

What makes you laugh?
Riley Johnson
Who are you listening to right now?
I am listening to the new Norah Jones album “The Fall,” “Alligator” by The National and always Modest Mouse.

What fictional character do you identify with most?
Does Mr. Rodgers count?
