This past Saturday, Cleveland duo mr. Gnome returned home to finish up their recent tour for their newest album, Madness in Miniature . To a packed house at the Beachland Ballroom , the duo comprising Nicole Barille and Sam Meister proved they aren't just another married pair. Meister plays HUGE on the set while Barille brings a powerhouse voice and killer guitar skills to her side of the stage. A mr. Gnome show promises to be an transcendental experience. Close your eyes, and you'll begin to feel your soul spill forth from [...]
One of the most delightfully dynamic bands out there today sits down with PopMatters to talk about its new album, and along the way reveal what a "forgy" is. Mr. Gnome has never really been a "play by the rules" kind of band. Madness in Miniature -- the Cleveland duo's third full-length album -- features singer/guitarist Nicole Barille and drummer/pianist Sam Meister doing what they do best: playing whatever the hell they want. Although Barille is blessed with a vocal quality that recalls the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O at her most seductive, the group's sound veers [...]

T omorrow the Opolis presents mr. Gnome and locals, Junebug Spade . mr.

DOWNLOAD: Mr Gnome - Pirates (MP3) The above Mr. Gnome (a duo from Cleveland) track starts me off thinking of Portishead/Mazzy Star , but that is quickly forgotten as I realize it's more Yeah Yeah Yeah Karen O . Or maybe it's "trip rock"... "Cleveland's mr. Gnome have had the misfortune of being saddled with one of the worst made up genres next to nu-rave, namely, trip rock. If they weren't from my home town, I'd swear the British [...]
Mr. Gnome 's press release says something like "when Cat Power meets Death From Above 19793 . I was surprised with this statement and clicked in their YouTube video (this one posted here) of Night of the Crickets and... wow! Nicolle Barille voice is sweet, the melody is sometimes post-punk or prog, very peculiar. The video is great. It's all weird enough to be here and more than enough to be in my playlist. And I definitely need more time to write here. Guitarist/vocalist Nicole [...]
mr. Gnome (lowercase spelling and all) is a Cleveland duo of vocalist/guitarist Nicole Barille and drummer Sam Meister. Following the release of their newest album, Deliver This Creature, Barille and Meister have begun to draw some hefty musical comparisons: Cat Power, Portishead, Blonde Redhead, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down and Death Cab round out the list. The duo's newest video for "Night of the Crickets" is animalistic, a bit morbid and well, kind of creepy-- Barille's raspy female voice laid atop the somewhat psychedelic percussion of Meister works and keeps you [...]
mr Gnome's new video for "Night of the Crickets" falls somewhere between Donnie Darko, the Sci-Fi Channel's Saturday night movie, and a creepy Burger King commercial with the King. I don't get it, and most likely, you won't get it either, but that's besides the point. It sure looks good, doesn't it? And odd video, or no odd video, "Night of the Crickets," with its brave dynamics and teetering tempos, remains one of the strongest tracks off of this Cleveland duo's debut album, Deliver this Creatue.

The oddly named Cleveland duo mr. Gnome has announced new U.S. tour dates in September and October in support of its impressive genre-bending debut full-length, 'Deliver This Creature' . Fitting with its loftily heavy-beautiful music, the band has released an equally stunning and surreal music video for the song "Night of The Crickets."
