I’m back, but did you even notice I was gone? Probably not, but hey, we did the damn thing last night, and it was a killer New Noize set.

New Noize Song of the Week goes to none other than the force of nature herself—someone I’ve been obsessed with for a while. In my mind’s eye, she’s the ideal human. I love her so, so, SO much. Constantly evolving, always expressing herself in a way that’s 100% her, but it’s all from this vulnerable place, not the authoritative vibe most of pop’s pushing these days. Oh, and she’s got a movie out—which I’m obviously gonna see just because she’s in it. Maybe one day I’ll get to call her Tahliah, but the world knows her as FKA Twigs. The track? "Eusexua." Check it out, and do yourself a favor—watch the extended video on YouTube, or just click right here:

New Noize Album of the Week? That title goes to one of the most joyful releases of 2024: Ginger Root’s latest album SHINBANGUI. It’s got this retro vibe but with modern grooves that’ll have even the stiffest among us tapping their feet. If I have one gripe, it’s that I wish this dropped earlier in the summer—it’s got that kind of feel. But hey, SoCal fall is basically summer for most of the country anyway.

While I’m at it, shoutout to Soft as Snow’s upcoming album Metal.wet. It’s art/noise rock but way more digestible than, say, Merzbow. Plus, it’s cohesive enough to share with friends who aren’t into noise. It drops on 11/8—mark your calendars.

And one more thing—the new Toro y Moi album? Straight fire. Play that thing front to back.

I’ve got a ton of shows lined up over the next few weeks, so don’t be a stranger—holla if you see me out there.

Oh, and dating sucks.

Until next Sunday, my peoples.
