[13] In the following years, the band toured Europe extensively, including multiple runs of dates with Tess Parks[14] and Joakim Ahlund’s musical project Les Big Byrd.

[24] In an interview with It's Psychedelic, Baby Magazine's Klemen Breznikar, Belton confers, "There were originally no vocals because I didn’t have the equipment to do them but after a while I realised that it was working great that way.

Loose, baggy beats, overdriven bass, crunchy guitars, and drunken keyboards, etc..”[3] The title of the album is a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement to how no concept in art or music is truly original.

The closing track Ace’s Trip Through The Cosmic Ether is a tribute to Belton’s childhood family dog who is featured on the inside artwork of the vinyl release of the album.

[25] Clash Magazine's Emma Harrison has described the album as “a bold and ambitious body of work; a cacophony of beguiling melodies, killer hooks and an abundance of playfully distorted wobble” with “influences of Dylan, the Beatles from their ‘White Album’ days and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.”[2] A collection of collaborations between the band and various artists featuring Joakim Ahlund, Les Big Byrd, Tess Parks, The Underground Youth, The Confederate Dead and Ruari Meehan.

[26] Friends In Noise has received positive reviews from numerous publishers, including The Big Takeover's Dave Franklin who comments, “although Belton finds himself co-writing and collaborating with artists from across the musical spectrum, there is absolute consistency to the results, the album seemingly having one foot in a version of the sixties that didn't quite exist and the other striding forward into a new horizon yet to be fully realized.

"[28] Recorded in Dover and Sintra, the single premiered on God Is in the TV[29] on August 16th 2023[30] and has been received warmly with Illustrate Magazine's Diana Reed stating, the track is “perfect for those who dig tunes that are introspective and totally captivating.

"[31] Thoughts Words Actions' Djordje Miladinovic praised the release, observing “With an evident mastery of songwriting, composition, and production, these tracks offer a captivating journey into the realms of psychedelic soundscapes.
