Cedric Noel is a one-man song factory. From his home base in Montreal, he’s bounced from genre to genre, producing emotionally driven indie-rock, ambient synth music, and romantic electro-pop under his Special Solace alias. His latest moves into a heavy reverb-drone rock sound. “Nighttime (Skin)” showcases both his knack for heartrending melodies and Dinosaur Jr.-sized riffs and lyrics that explore the concept of identity.
