A FUN SUMMER ALBUM
Nolens Volens’ newest party pizza appropriately titled “Nolens Volens”, remains loyal to older stuff while cutting ground with improved methods and tools. The same colorful sort of of sound bits collected for Sound Has Let Us Down, set a starter of paint on the pallette to mix with, creating a beautifully quilted piece of music Americana. Spanish Trumpets on #4, “Mezzokind” each song built upwards from a distinct half or split second anthem. Each song is methodical and easy to enjoy on a primitive level. Long, drawn out crescendos, introductions and finales made it an exciting but not orgasmic listening experience. From the first to last moment: the craftsmanship of composition and live accompaniment, full of moogy, macintosh voiced athleticism, “Nolens Volens” rebuilds faith in an underwater society our fathers dreamed of. Also, if you hold the cd artwork up to a light with the inner cover facing you it looks quite awesome. Elitist Nick Foster and Non Non remixes are complimentary to Andrew Glasset(Nolens Volens) and the album’s overall sonic theme. All of these artists can lift drum beats like weights. Even the cover art is like staring into the sun.
