Biography

Written and recorded by Noller in 2021, the latest Skittish release is “Everything Loose Slides to California.” Also featuring vocals by Brianna Tagg, live drums by Jeremy Krueth, and slick piano licks by Chris Lahn. Skittish is the ongoing syndrome of Jeff Noller, who describes the new release below. Indoors, time expands and contracts like the accordion of some cruelly trained monkey. I couldn’t tell how long I’d been in Minnesota, but my ever-bouncing right leg was joined by my left, and before I knew it, I was living in a guest house in Los Angeles. This trek westward inspired the new Skittish EP “Everything Loose Slides to California.” Taken from the Mark Twain quote “America is built on a tilt and everything loose slides to California,” the title seemed appropriate for the last few years, when America was less on a tilt and more like a cliff. Thousands became untethered from jobs and relationships, left to shift with the unpredictable, and I was no different. The new Skittish EP speaks to obscene class divides, the strange places we find ourselves in, and the longing nostalgia for less chaotic days. Its simple and honest. I’ve learned that being grounded and stable are just fleeting moments on an arch, bent toward the coasts, where you end up sliding when nothing’s left to tie you down. Good or bad, change is always an adventure, and I’m living mine while I can. I hope others find a little well-earned adventure too.
