The stimulating, fluid sonic blends and forthright, open-hearted lyrics throughout Hang Time, the new LP from Cedric Noel, finds the Tio’tiá:ke/Montreal-based artist untangling complex realities, and ultimately landing with a stunning sense of surety and self. – Order Hang Time on LP/CD/CASS // listen to his interview on the Joyful Noise Radio Hour – Written during a period of intense self-reflection, his eighth album digs into what it means to be disconnected from place/ancestry, adopted into a multi-racial family, what it is to be Black man in a predominantly white scene, and how one can arrive at a place of pride amidst the multiplicity of self. |

| Produced by Noel with engineer Steve Newton and featuring contributions from Liam O’Neill (SUUNS), Ella Williams (Squirrel Flower), Brigitte Naggar (Common Holly), and more, Hang Time stands as a high water mark for an artist who’s spent the past decade quietly expanding the borders of his music. |
