Noblonski & Nolto "Amazing Saturday" [ALBUM]

 

Eight days a week is not enough to show that some artists care, but German producer, Noblonski, and Canadian rapper, Nolto, only need one: an Amazing Saturday. Their first full length project together, Amazing Saturday is an embodiment of the linguistic concept of “wortbildung” combining different themes and aesthetics to create a new distinct identity that feels familiar. Amazing Saturday combines Noblonski’s comforting melodic optimism with Nolto’s reckless, joyful pessimism, creating a cohesive composition of complaints about life, love, libations, and liturgy. The combination preserves each artist’s signature style and familiar aesthetic while standing authentically on its own as something greater than its parts. Noblonski and Nolto’s friends graciously lend their talents throughout the album, including StapleMouth, Id Obelus, The Gumshoe Strut, Chaps, Chadio, and Cam the Wizzard. This album is not just pleasantly relaxing at the start of a weekend; indeed, it’s amazing.

Noblonski & Nolto "Dandy Lions" (feat. The Gumshoe Strut) [SINGLE]

 

What makes the lions dandy is their devotion to dress and appearance. But, “Dandy Lions” abandons pretence and presentation. It answers the door in a bathrobe. In the evening. “Dandy Lions” is a pleading justification for letting things go, for procrastination, and for experimenting with different ways of living. Noblonski's beat provides a peaceful and relaxing scene, in which Nolto promises he'll simply continue to monitor the results of his dereliction, and The Gumshoe Strut struggles to balance and prioritize his time and attention. The result is a call to inaction: give up the things that don't matter, and see what happens. Go gather more data.

The Dirty Sample's remix abandons the peacefulness of the original and replaces it with a "sick day" spent in a dark basement playing video games, giving a new perspective to what data may be gathered.
