The rich have always wanted a better view of the blast: a penthouse perch above the panic, a chilled glass in hand, the city glittering beneath them while the rest of us wait for the atomic flash. On “High Society,” Los Angeles new wave provocateur Blone Noble turns class contempt into couture catastrophe, lampooning the one percent while greeting nuclear apocalypse with a poisoned grin and the lethal little come-on: “Love Me. Atom Bomb.”
Taken from the forthcoming Dominator EP, out May 29, 2026, via Mystic Transfers, “High Society” moves with a sleek, predatory bass-synth strut, bubbling electronics, smoky vocal seduction, and house accents that feel like an early-’90s runway show held during the last cocktail hour on earth. Produced by James Matthew Seven and mixed by Mike Kriebal, the single finds Blone Noble turning end-times arrogance into art-school attack posture, challenging billionaires and warmongers with the insolent charge of someone making spectacle without a war chest.
“I’m running the world ragged with the same level of enthusiasm as the war mongers and billionaires—but I’m doing it with art instead of bombs…and no funding,” says Blone Noble. It is a fittingly grandiose mission statement for an artist chasing rock-and-roll immortality across stage, page, and screen, as if only the final fireball of nuclear holocaust could interrupt his swaggering performance.
Directed and edited by Redamo Rosa, with colour by Ian Herz, the video was shot during Blone Noble’s December 3, 2025 opening set for Wang Chung at The Belasco Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, during the 40th anniversary celebration of To Live and Die in L.A. Bathed in blue and bruised red stage light, Noble stalks the microphone while dancers along with dancers Megan Stogner, Mariana Jaccazio, Ana Ming-Bostwick Singer, and Dasha Leidy cut across the stage like nightclub phantoms, turning the live performance into a decadent little doomsday pageant.

Beyond the stage lights and end-times glamour of “High Society,” Blone Noble arrives with momentum already wired for detonation. In 2025, he released his debut album, Life’s New Adventure, via San Francisco label Industry Standards, alongside his autobiographical novel Festum Stultorum; both sold out within their first month of release. The album’s title-track video has since passed 50,000 views on YouTube, while the record earned notice for its sharp new wave theatrics, literary bite, and high-drama sense of self-invention. Noble spent the year taking the project across North America, sharing bills with Light Asylum, David J. Haskins of Bauhaus and Love and Rockets, and Wang Chung.
Between tours, Noble collaborated with Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based producer James Matthew Seven on Dominator, which features remixes by Kontravoid and Tony Price, with EP art photos by Hedi Slimane. His sophomore album, ICONOCLAST, written and recorded during the same period with producer Dakota Blue, is currently seeking a home.
The Dominator EP is out May 29, 2026, digitally and on 12-inch vinyl via Mystic Transfers / Kuroneko Distribution. The five-track release features “High Society,” a Kontravoid remix of the single, the new cut “Body Fascination,” the title track “Dominator,” and a Tony Price remix of “Dominator.”
