If your reality is currently shattering in front of you no worries, New Noize is here to distract you for a hot second.
New Noize was a total vibe. Its like I'm writing a sonic novella giving you a fever dream radio show that leaves you blinking at the ceiling, wondering if that was real. It's one part Soul Train, one part mosh pit, and one part arthouse film scored by a robot with feelings. You’re not building a playlist—you’re building an atmosphere. A sonic novella. A fever dream radio show that leaves you blinking at the ceiling, wondering if that was real. Its one part Soul Train, one part mosh pit, and one part arthouse film scored by an emotional kaiju.
Hour 1 was all silk sheets and sharp corners. Staring off with a warm, analog hug—Durand Jones, CARRTOONS, and Mocky get us groovin’ in candlelight, wrapped in velvet and honey. Then things start getting weird in the best way—SPRINTS and Hotline TNT crash the dinner party with guitars and uninvited feelings.
By the time White Denim and Mac DeMarco show up, we have swerved into nostalgic psych-pop detour, like a house party you didn’t mean to stay at 'til 4 a.m.—but now you’re talking to a stranger about time travel and your childhood pet.
Then Tim Barnes takes us fully into liminal dreamstate: you're on a forgotten highway, everything looks familiar, but you’re not sure if you’re awake (which is my normal state tbt)
Heading into hour 2 which felt like neon anxiety & afterworld ballads. We emerge in a haunted beachfront future, with Caroline Polachek giving us DS2 lullabies for people with emotional baggage and nice shoes. "On The Beach" id your New Noize song of the week (and is on my best of 2025 list) From there, we’re flipping between punk chaos, alt-sentimentality, and electronic ritualism—Deadguy and Babygirl shouldn't exist in the same set, but this is New Noize.
It’s like you opened your diary, and DJ Haram found it, scratched it onto vinyl, and played it at an underground rave while St. Paul cried in the green room. By the end, Bonobo and Matt Maeson gently escort us into the abyss—tender, but totally unsure if we’re coming back.
Oh and the New Noize Album of the Week?Too many heaters dropped to play gatekeeper, so we’re going personal on this one. Frankie Cosmos’ Different Talking feels like she somehow got read/write access to my brain. It’s less like an album and more like your inner Jiminy Cricket decided to start singing instead of just narrating your life—softly chaotic, painfully honest, and weirdly comforting.
You can now resume your 2025 meltdown.
