Surprise Baby

Musician and songwriter Sarsten Noice and producer Claire Morison, originally from Northwest Montana, created the Los Angeles based Surprise Baby, described as rock and roll cowboy meets indie pop. Using their long-standing relationship as friends and creative partners, Sarsten and Claire craft a sound for Surprise Baby which is both authentic and captivating.

Poison The Well

Refusing to be pigeon-holed, Surprise Baby’s upcoming EP see’s the two exploring a realm of different genres and sounds. The first single, Poison the Well, narrates facing the consequences of your own actions and the desire to change the reality of a situation but ultimately having the resignation that you can’t.

At the time, I was involved with someone who was in another relationship and we were both a part of a tight knit community (“the well”). At a certain point, it appeared to me that the toxicity of the relationship had permeated our ability to operate in our social scene without causing disruption to our lives and those around us.  I was faced with confronting the morality of my own actions as well as some heartbreak because I knew I was never going to be able to fully be with this person.

I try to create imagery that accurately captures a specific feeling and then allow myself to build lyrics in an abstract way, opposed to straightforward storytelling. This I hope leaves the songs open to the listeners’ interpretation.

-Sarsten Noice

Entering with a throbbing beat, echoing harmonies and a minimalist, eerie atmosphere, Poison the Well steadily builds in intensity, with the addition of layered textures and instruments, with vocals from Noice about the misguided actions that led her down the wrong path.

Hoping to inspire people to reflect on moments of desire, Poison the Well offers a glimpse of what to expect from the new EP, which  touches on relationships, self-growth, spirituality and transformation.
