quickly, quickly Unleashes I Heard That Noise: A Thrilling Collision of Folk, Noise & Rock


Graham Jonson’s psych‑pop project quickly, quickly sheds its SoundCloud roots on I Heard That Noise, out now via Ghostly International. This kaleidoscopic debut melds knotty folk melodies, warped studio tricks, and sudden bursts of distortion—an album born from breakups, haunted childhood memories, and the industrial hum of his Portland basement, known affectionately as the “Kenton Sound.”
Standout singles “Enything,” “Take It From Me,” and “Raven” showcase Jonson’s fearless range: stomping rhythms give way to plaintive acoustic strums, only to be shattered by metal‑level chord jolts. Inspired by Phil Elverum’s haunting landscapes, Dijon’s raw honesty, and Nick Drake’s timeless folk, he builds each song around space and surprise—using delay and dissonance like cinematic “jump scares.”
With backing vocals from Julia Logue and interludes that shift from ambient wobble to full-throttle stomp, I Heard That Noise feels both hi‑fi and homespun. Moments of sweet piano in “I Punched Through a Wall” collapse into power‑chord catharsis, while the title track morphs from abrasive racket into a tender ballad about memory and surrender.
After producing for Moses Sumney and Kid LAROI—plus selling out his live‑debut shows—Jonson cements himself as a boundary‑shattering songwriter and visionary producer.
