Catalog Number: 19858894304 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 198588943045 "On haha, no worries, Lubalin mines an overlooked vein of experience, the everyday interactions and off-the-cuff communications we toss back and forth with little thought--presenting a series of emotionally raw but meticulously crafted observations with a wry sense of humour and a gleeful disregard for convention. Blending pop-leaning drum & bass influences, 2000s-era electro-pop, indie, and alt. rock, the Montreal-based artist/producer juxtaposes urgent, sometimes frenetic rhythms and vocal loops against deceptively laid-back vocals and instrumental tracks that rely heavily on the duality that informs his music and life, and find him blurring the line between child-like wonder and decidedly adult self-doubt, often in a single line. Duality is a hallmark of his lyrical preoccupations throughout haha, no worries and a driving force on every project he's undertaken--from the phenomenally successful internet drama videos that catapulted him to fame in 2020 to his work with producer Jason Brando and Charlotte Cardin on Cardin's double JUNO Award-winning 2023 album, 99 Nights; which earned Lubalin a pair of 2024 JUNO nominations for Producer and Songwriter of the Year. The result is a collection of songs that depend on a rare variety of musical magic. Not the garden-variety, sleight of hand of a one-size-fits-all love song--the rarer, real-world variety essential to the trick of navigating the highs and lows of modern life that you can draw on every day."
