    Aotearoa’s Isla Noon unveils Out of Body, her striking debut album—a vivid exploration of identity, detachment, and the journey back to oneself. Blending luminous alt-pop with pulsing depths of emotion, the record is as introspective as it is electrifying.

    Designed as an immersive experience, Out of Body pulses with life, built from instinctive imagery and cinematic soundscapes. From euphoric highs to haunting reflections, Noon crafts a world that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant.

    Available now on CD, with a booklet designed by Noon herself—an extension of the album’s visual and sonic storytelling.

    For fans of bold, intelligent pop that lingers long after the last note.

about

In her own words, Isla Noon is introspective, bold, emotive, and energetic. These qualities are woven into the vibrant, otherworldly fabric of her debut album, ‘Out of Body’, a collection of songs that explore themes of identity, detachment, and the winding path back to oneself.

From its inception, ‘Out of Body’ was designed as a fully immersive experience. The album’s sonic landscapes are deeply intertwined with a visual world that exists alongside it, a world built from vivid, instinctive imagery that arose in tandem with the music. “Every song had a scene, a colour, a feeling attached to it,” Noon explains. “Deep blues, flashes of neon, a lonely dance floor with a red wine spill drying to a sticky sheen. I knew from the beginning that this record wasn’t just about sound. It was about capturing the way these experiences looked and felt.”

‘Out of Body’ evolved beyond a collection of songs into a cohesive, intentional statement. Rather than a linear narrative, the album flows like a dream, one moment euphoric, the next haunting, always shifting yet interconnected. Its title reflects not just a feeling of disconnection, but the perspective gained by stepping outside oneself and seeing things anew.

The album’s title track, 'Body', was a similar catalyst. Originally a ballad, the song’s ascending chord riff evolved into something celestial after producer and close friend Maude Minnie Morris layered chaotic white noise and timpani hits over Noon’s synth line. “It took the chorus into outer space,” Noon recalls. “From there, everything else fell into place.”

The album balances luminous pop hooks with moments of deep, pulsing darkness. “I’ve always blended those worlds,” Noon says. “The early songs are steeped in escapism, their energy physical, almost desperate for release. As I moved through the writing process, I found myself embracing honesty and rawness in a way I hadn’t before. That demanded more grit, more weight in the production.”

While deeply introspective, 'Out of Body' is designed for movement. It is an album that pulses with life, meant to be danced to, felt viscerally. “This album is an expression of joy as much as it is a reckoning with loss,” Noon shares. “I hope people find themselves in it. I hope it feels like a space where they belong.”
