The Nobility’s album is going to surprise an awful lot of people in its ambition and striking creativity, as well as melodic core. The Nobility used to be Jetpack, a long time favorite band here at Not Lame but the sound of The Nobility is decidedly more high-reaching mining territory of “Ram”-era McCartney, David Grahame (listen to Song #2 below), Emitt Rhodes and Digby. Please spend some time and listen to what I’ve put here on the site for you to listen as it tells the important musical story here better than words and better reveals my excitement listening to this debut. The Nobility broadens their musical repertoire with a deeper exploration of narrative lyrics and less conventional arrangements, with orchestrations featuring cello, tuba, saxophone, flute, violin and French horn. The sessions were documented to magnetic 2-inch tape on classic 1970s analog gear at Brian Carter's Murfreesboro, Tennessee studio. " Nothing here is by the numbers. You'll hear inspired little hitches and quirks all over, and it's hard to think of another local indie rock release with either the amount or quality of brass and string arrangements found here... There is, indeed, a definite sense of motion here — one of a band making big strides with a sound that appears increasingly unique as it becomes more "classic." Even with the song's [Halleluiah Chorus] mellower moments, the stacked harmonies, gang vocals and violins add a grandiose element befitting the majestic-sounding title." - All The Rage. "A year from now, all of your Myspace friends will be raving about this 'new' band... and claiming they heard them first." – Norfolk Portfolio Weekly. The CD is quite an amazing arrangement accomplishment. These are brilliantly crafted tracks with orchestrations featuring tuba, sax, French horn, cello and other textures. Think Sgt. Pepper era Beatles or mid-period Kinks and you'll have the general idea. In addition to this jaunty CD opener, check out the yummy, layered, propulsive popster "Hallelujah Chorus" or the sputtering Queen-ish "Let Me Hang Around." Beware: This is one highly addictive record.” – MusicRow. BIG TIME Extremely Highly Recommended!
