Another 3-hour New Noize set? Why the hell not. It’s 2024, folks—buckle up and roll with the chaos.
Kicking off this 3-hour marathon session, I had the pleasure of opening with NYC’s own The Giraffes, back from the abyss with their new single, "The Shot." Welcome back, legends. The energy in that first hour was electric, with new sounds from Santa Barbara’s finest, Gardens & Villa. Their track "Jewels" took me on a sonic journey—think dreamy, elevated vibes that linger in your ear long after the song’s over. Hungry for more? Yeah, me too.
Hour two brought the heat with the latest from Flying Lotus, "Garmonbozia," which also snagged the coveted New Noize Song of the Week. This hour was packed, with new fire from LISA featuring Rosalía on "NEW WOMAN," and finally spinning Hanumankind’s "Big Dawgs." Sorry for the delay, my Desi brother—it was worth the wait.
And let’s not forget the last hour, where I hit you with fresh tracks from Billie Joe Armstrong and an interesting collab between Jean Dawson and Lil Yachty. Definitely something to chew on.
The Album of the Week goes to Pom Poko with "Champion" This record might be flying under the radar, but trust me, it’s pure joy in audio form. Give it a listen—you’ll be smiling by track two.
Some other gems from this New Noize set include The Linda Lindas’ "No Obligation," Cloud Cult’s "Alchemy Creek," and The Clearwater Swimmers’ self-titled debut.
One album I didn’t play (because the label left me hanging) but still deserves a shout-out is Tinashe’s "Quantum Baby." It’s a tight R&B record—short but sweet. Picture Tinashe taking you on an endless vacation, which is exactly how this album feels.
And lastly, let’s talk "Alien Romulus." If you’re new to the Alien franchise, this is your gateway drug. But if you’re like me and prepped by binging all the Alien movies (yes, even AVP) in canon order, you’re in for a treat. I won’t spoil anything, but let’s just say it’s easily one of 2024’s best. And yes, I’m already hyped for "Alien: EARTH."
Catch you next week.
