"Subterranean World," the new art pop single from Los Angeles artist Blone Noble comes out this Friday, August 14, 2026. Co-written and produced by Dakota Blue. The single is part of a larger body of work the duo are currently shopping to record labels. "Subterranean World" serves as a taste of the full album's creative direction.
“Dakota Blue and I have been working in the shadows for some time now, developing a new musical language in his Pasadena studio; a neo-futuristic art rock record built on primal rhythms, eastern synths, fretless wanderings and LA noir poetry. We wrote and recorded “Subterranean World” in our first session together.”
The artists bonded over a shared love for Dali's Car and Japan--all things Mick Karn--whose fretless improvisations have long inspired Dakota's approach to the bass. They also cite BĂȘte Noire by Bryan Ferry and The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk as inspirations for their work together, among many others.
The video was directed by filmmaker Redamo Rosa, who conceptualized a film where the camera moves through a series of bizarre vignettes while the performers remain perfectly still. The concept remained in gestation for years while he searched for the right song for the project.
“I had this idea to have a camera move through dreams, almost like walking through a museum or diorama of a reality, only this reality is slightly bent. I didn't want there to be any reason behind the visuals, but I wanted the audience to feel disoriented by what they’re seeing. Often, we find deep meaning in inexplicable dreams.
I approached Blone Noble with the idea, and he played “Subterranean World” for me. The song captured that feeling I was chasing—it played like narration to a nightmare and felt like it was about the darkest parts of humanity.”
The release comes on the heels of Dominator EP released by Mystic Transfers in May. Produced by James Mathew Seven and feat. Kontravoid and Tony Price remixes, Dominator EP signals a departure from Blone Noble's previous Bowie-Eno inspired material; a collection of New Beat / Industrial / Italo style bangers fit for the midnight dance floor. "Subterranean World" signals yet another creative departure -- the prolific artist appears to be swimming further out into uncharted waters with each release.
Blone Noble has been on the road since May promoting Dominator EP. Upcoming dates for a September tour through the Pacific Northwest and Canada followed by October dates in Europe TBD.
