In 2001, Nobleman returned home to Israel in order to write and produce his
landmark debut record ‘How To Be Shy’.
Shy invited members of the local psychedelic band, Rockfour, to record
what became an overnight national success.
Nobleman’s 60’s like psychedelic pop tunes captured the mood of the
country and soon the album was voted “record of the year”.
By word of mouth alone, the album was picked up by music critics in across
the USA, with none other than Rolling Stone Magazine announcing it
as ‘one of the top 10 albums of the year in 2002’. Shy joined the ranks of
indie rockers The Hives and The Soundtrack of our lives as Alternative
Press Magazine’s ‘Top 25 International Acts that Can Take Over
America’. .
