A Sunday off last week because of the Super Bowl and a Monday off yesterday plus Wind storms and power outages yesterday means the New Noize Update comes in today.

By the way if you gave me 10 opportunities to pick what RiRi would have opened her return to performing live i would have not have guessed "Bitch Better Have My Money".

This past Sunday I packed 2 weeks worth of new music into the set but to be honest there is so much new music to sort through it feels like every week I have to cut out a decent chunk to squeeze into a 2 hour set. 

The Song of the Week belongs to Beck with "Thinking About You". The New Noize album of the week is  "All Fiction" by Pile.

A week before the big game, New Noize once again showed up to play. This set was diverse but a bit more subtle then all the things that went down this Sunday We had the Grammys, the pro bowl, Last Of Us and I got an air fryer. I know I am late to the air fryer gang but now is my time to make non oven wings and the hype is real. You aren't here for my french fry mastery, you want that New Noize.

Song of the week was difficult as always, so many bangers including Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Lael Neale & Yves Tumor but this Sunday's spotlight belonged to mui zyu with "Ghost with a Peach Skin". I had a listener call in and say "what the fuck is this?" I replied simply with "Its fuckin fantastic" The dial tone respone was a tell tale sign that the caller totally agreed with me.  

New Noize album of the week was the highly anticipated Young Father's album "Heavy Heavy". These cats can DO NO WRONG. This album casts a wide net and is all over the place cross blending genres and styles in a uniquely digestible sound that will make you groove but question why you are grooving. This is one of those records that every listen is a bit different and begs you to listen to it in different settings. It fits any emotional obit.

There will be no New Noize next Sunday due to the Super Bowl, maybe...

Auto Chlor jamb" off the album Crystal Math

Ok ok ok let's be clear, I cut about 55 minutes off this set so I could fit the New Noize run time to under 2 hours and it was difficult. I love having this issue but it also spins me into a dark hole of wtf am I gonna cut, it was stressful but I survived.

One of my favorite releases comes from Auto Chlor who dropped a double LP but the thing is each LP has a different name, Kids Gloves and Crystal Math. Both are great and I highly recommend them.

Album of the week goes to Sightless Pit. Thrill Jockey rarely disappoints and when I heard the new Sightless Pit was coming out I was HYPED. The majority of Lockstep Bloodwar has features which by no ways is a bad thing but a bit surprising. The features include Mideife, YoshmiO, the late Gangsta Boo, Lane Shi Otayonii & a few more. This record is not for everyone and that's exactly the reason I like it.

Song of the week goes to Tanukichan featuring Enumclaw with "Thin Air". Put it on and I dare you disagree. 

I will catch you all next week.

We are only a few weeks into 2023 and things are up in the air. Last week we were off air due to all the power being knocked out to the tower but luckily all things have been restored.

New Noize roared back onto the air with 2 weeks of new music under my belt to expose to the masses and let me tell you it was difficult to cut the set down to less than 2 hours. This past session we went all over the place solidifying New Noize's reputation as the most diverse playlist in the new music game.

Song of the week belongs to M83 with "Oceans Niagara". Fantasy out March
17th on Mute Records is one of my most highly anticipated records of 2023.

Album of the Week goes to the death metal stylings of Obituary with "Dying of Everything" The Florida metal scene is alive and well as these guys are currently burning everything down on their European Tour. This record cover to cover is a continuous onslaught of aggression with heavy riffs with their signature sound on every chord. You can hear they had fun making this record. It's out on Relapse Records now.

I will be back next week unless mother nature has different plans.
