This week brings more rain to SoCal, the holy month and another serving of the most diverse new music show this side of Neptune.
A bunch of solid new full length albums dropped this past week.
Yves Tumor "Praise a Lord Who Chews but Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)"— I know what a name for an album and the good news is that it delivers. It’s really groovy but not in the ways you think. Yves Tumor did release a lot of tracks prior to the album release but that did not take away from the initial listening experience. They have really come into their sound and this record will be in my personal rotation for months to come.
Genevieve Artardi "forever forever" - Flying Lotus record label Brainfeeder rarely misses and "forever forever" is thick with all the right places. It strives in its strangeness. TBH I’m still trying to figure the ins and outs of this one, especially how laid back aggressive it is.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra "V" I normally don’t like this style kind of music but I do like Unknown Mortal Orchestra and they are a great live experience. That being said this is record stands out from their already hefty catalog.
You know what the New Noize Album of the Week is right? Its M83's "Fantasy". I have been waiting for this record and I fucking love it. It’s a celebration of their sound while still pushing into new territory. To celebrate this release you KNOW I played the longest song on the album, “kool nuit”, a track that features Kalela doing her best Kazu Makino impression(seriously I thought it was heard on the initial listen and was surprised). I can go on and on so all I'm gonna say is that it’s a great album.
The New Noize Song of the Week goes to the duo that is opening the 2023 Santa Barbara Bowl season, the Chemical Brothers. "No Reason" is pure fire and sounds like something the Chemical Brothers would produce. All "No Reason" really does is make you urn for more and hopefully they plan on releasing an actual album.
Big ups my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, this week starts the holy month of Ramadan. If you know any Muslims participating hit em with some support vibes and maybe not invite them for lunch for the next 4 weeks.
This Friday brings about another HUGE video game remake, Resident Evil 4, which is critically acclaimed as not only the best RE game, but one of the best games ever made. I played the demo and need something low impact during Ramadan and this is it. Also if you do game have you noticed all the best games in the past few months have been remakes? So we got RE4 which we all know is a banger, Dead Space Remake which was AMAZING, Metroid Prime Remaster and of course Final Fantasy Crisis Core Reunion. I am not made at these classic video game remastered and remakes like I am when they remake a classic movie. Some games, like all of the ones I just mentioned, need "the remake treatment" as the technology has upgraded making the already classic an even better gaming experience. Where as the movie medium, when it comes to remakes, are usually trash money grabs. With the recent success of Last of Us non gamers are discovering the glory of gaming narratives and remakes of these classic games cater to them and a new generation of gamers who have never experienced some of the best games ever made because of access to old technology.
