Fruit LoOops takes Song of the Week honors with “Appendicitis”—a frantic, sparkly gut-punch of a track off their upcoming record Everything Is Clear To Me Now, dropping June 6 on Orange Milk Records.

The New Noize Album of the week goes to Mei Semones "Animaru" This record is one of my favorite indie records out of Brooklyn this year and trust a ton of indie records come out in Brooklyn. It's sweet, haunting and pulls at the infinite void where my heart used to be as a reminder that it was once a warm place. It’s bilingual magic. Mei slides between English and Japanese like it’s no big deal—and yet, every note lands right where it hurts (in a good way). The strings? Took me straight back to watching Disney movies with my little brother on the brownest carpet in New Jersey. I don’t even know what half the lyrics mean, and it still hit like a memory I didn’t know I missed. This record’s a keeper. It's a gem and you should rock cover to cover.  

Also when life kicks you in the teeth remember you can live off of baby food.

I'll see you next week.
