Another New Noize in the books and yeah, this update is once again a day late. Blame 4/20 activities and watching the Knicks lose Game 2 in the first round to Atlanta. But you’re not here for sports or excuses… let’s get into it.

Post-Coachella fallout is always messy, and this year delivered. Big ups to The Strokes for still keeping things rock ’n roll. Being the “lube band” for Justin Bieber (Julian’s words, not mine), complaining about being old, and getting political with a pro-Palestinian stance on one of the biggest stages in the world, streamed to millions, was extremely satisfying to watch mostly for nostalgia. Most artists are way to scared to take a stance on anything so watching the Strokes show their solidarity made my tri state chest grow 3x its size.

Sabrina was great as well, although she did hit a hiccup. Apparently she "doesn't like" zaghrouta aka the Arabic call with yodeling. Its ok, people don't have to know everything. Just sad she doesn't dig these type of brown people. Again, ok for me to say because its true and she will never read this. I still love her & her performance was top tier but disappointed that this woman didn't support other women cause "she doesn't like it"

The best of the best, the artist that stole the show also had a live new album release was none other than Nine Inch Noize aka Nine Inch Nails X Boys Noize. What a performance, so impactful it stole both weekends at Coachella. HDA was all over this dessert set along with beefed up production with dancers! I'm still processing the set and I streamed it from my couch. Needless to say Nine Inch Noize is your New Noize Album of the Week, which also happens to be the set from Coachella weekend 1. Yes they took the liveset from weekend 1 and released it this past Friday. Essentially its Boys Noize fangirling over NIN catalogue by reworking & remixing these works with his own perspective whilst Trent & Atticus enhance his vision. NIN has a rich history of not only letting other artists reinterpreted what they have done they will go in and assist that artist revision and the results speak for themselves.  

Then you’ve got another collab that quietly went just as hard: TOMORA aka Tom Rowlands and Aurora. WHAT. A. RECORD. This thing shapeshifts constantly avant-garde drift one second, full-on ethereal rave ritual the next. It feels ancient and futuristic at the same time, like you’re dancing around a fire but also inside a machine. Hard to explain. Easy to feel.

Eaves Wilder’s Little Miss Sunshine is one of those albums I can’t fully explain and honestly don’t want to. It’s not about “why.” It just works. It’s effortless on the surface, but you can feel the craft underneath. Sometimes you just hit play and stop asking questions.

Last album I have to  recommend is Teen Suicide’s Nude Descending Staircase Headless. Yeah, the title is a lot. But the music hits. It’s anxious, raw, and weirdly comforting in that “we’re all stuck in this together” kind of way.

And yeah, they say good things come in threes, so let’s round it out with JJerome87 and alt-J. “Track and Field” is your Song of the Week. Clean, weird, and exactly the kind of left turn that makes this show what it is.

See you next week.
