I saw julie at the SB Bowl, and they were great! They opened for Interpol, who killed as well. If you have never been to the SB Bowl, do not wait. It is one of the best venues in the United States.

Speaking of the best in the U.S., I crushed another New Noize set.

Your New Noize Song of the Week is "Witch Doctor" by Erykah Badu & The Alchemist, and yes, I played all 6+ minutes of this song. Apparently, this record is still coming out. It still has no title, but Ms. Badu assured us it is still a thing. I wouldn't hold my breath, though. I'm still waiting on that Starks/DOOM record, so...

A few big releases I have been waiting on finally dropped.

ZAINAB finally dropped her first official EP, Canal View, and it bangs HARD. She is going to be one of those DJs people lie about seeing live "way back when." I have watched her career blossom over the years and OMG, what gorgeous musical petals are blooming. She is serving her own style, one that has been simmering in NYC with deep Pakistani flavors.

Let's be real, I don't need to talk about the new Phoebe Bridgers record because every outlet is talking about her album, and justifiably so. Lost Weekend is slow, haunting and takes its time. Nothing is forced, and it has a very Radiohead feel to it in the most atmospheric sense.

Your New Noize Album of the Week is Sweeping Promises' You Say I Romanticize. What a fun late-summer record. It has these joyful moments that really stand out throughout the whole LP. Sub Pop doesn't miss, and neither do Sweeping Promises. This is the perfect "what do I want to listen to right now?" record.

Until next time.
