Formed in 2006, Normal Love is an experimental band currently based in both Brooklyn and Philadelphia.

Taking cues from a number of influences, NL drew initial inspiration from the sounds of pioneering artists transcending the confines of no wave, contemporary composition, underground metal, noise, outsider pop, oddball punk, musique concrète, early industrial, as well as various modes of free improvisation. At times, Normal Love has even invoked the creative talents of a select few of their unsung contemporaries, challenging them to write compositions of immense depth for the band. The band has shared the stage with Sightings, The Sun Ra Arkestra, Matmos, Daughters, Tim Berne’s Bloodcount, Ruins, Maps & Atlases, Nautical Almanac, Zs, Fat Worm of Error, People, Ocrilim (Mick Barr), Chinese Stars, Aa (BIG A little a), Dysrhythmia, James Plotkin, Psyopus, Stinking Lizavetta, and countless others. Their discography includes the s/t LP on High Two Recordings, the Peel 7″ (also High Two Recordings), and a Whore Paint/Normal Love split tour cassette on Linear B Tapes. NORMAL LOVE has been invited to perform at The 1st ever Philadelphia Bang on a Can Marathon, Guitar Festival @ The Stone (February 2007), the 1st annual Philadelphia POPPED! Festival (April 2007), and the apogee-esque Dark Forces Swing Blind Punches Festival (D
