Sarah Register and Andrya Ambro allied as TALK NORMAL in 2007, after years of friendship, and haven't stopped moving. Since their lightning-strike first appearance, TALK NORMAL's sound has stormed upward and outward, referencing few and relating to many, a jarringly songful gale of rhythm and noise supporting pleas and plaints, signal-calls and marching orders. Each show builds on past ones: up-to-the-moment updates of ideas previously stated, new phrasings of old upheavals delivered with increasing focus and joy. Darkness and light; fury, silence, space and sound.

TALK NORMAL is part of a long lineage of musicians who took their tools and ideas outside of the existing comfort zone and created a new one - DNA, Laurie Anderson, Sonic Youth, The Creatures, Public Image Ltd., Cocteau Twins - regardless of whether your ears perceive their presence or influence here. And after a couple of years having done-it-themselves - including self-released demos, the 2008 EP Secret Cog, and shows played alongside Sonic Youth, Marnie Stern, Lydia Lunch, Erase Errata, Weekend and Wire (this November '11) to name just a few. TALK NORMAL released their debut album, Sugarland, on Rare Book Room Records in 2009. Sugarland (recorded by Nicolas Vernhes), represents a startling surge forward for the band - the clearest, loudest expression of TALK NORMAL's energy and language. Three 7''s were released in 2011, most recently M'Lady Records (with artwork by Kim Gordon), preceded by a split on Fast Weapons records with Thurston Moore and a split on Klangbad Records with Christy and Emily. With their second full length album (recorded by Christina Files) in the works, these 7''s are a clear indicator the surge will only continue.

Since their formation in 2007, the duo of Sarah Register and Andrya Ambro have crafted a unique blend of driving noise rock. Feedback-drenched guitar tones and jarring rhythms are common in Talk Normal's surprisingly songful tunes, producing a sound informed by their predecessors (Cocteau Twins, Velvet Underground, Laurie Anderson & Creatures), but strikingly new.

Following the 2009 release of their debut album Sugarland on Rare Book Room Records, Talk Normal shared the stage with the likes of Sonic Youth, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Lydia Lunch. (just to name a few). Now in 2012, Talk Normal has emerged with their epic sophomore album: Sunshine, slated for release in October 2012 on Joyful Noise Recordings. People get ready.
