Last New Noize new music show of the year. IT'S OVER! What a year it has been & this coming Sunday I will do the "Best of New Noize 2023 Wrap-Up Special" which will be 3 hours long highlight the best of the best this year had to offer.

Let's talk about this past New Noize.

HEALTH's RAT WAR finally came out and was worth the wait. This LA noise ensemble has come into their sound which is highlighted on every track on RAT WARS. This album is "full on" and is much more coherent for the uninitiated. If this is your first time hearing HEALTH then RAT WARS is a good place to start.

IDLES grabbed the New Noize song of the week with "Grace". Can you fellas just release the record already? Please...

Hour 2 I hit you with my New Noize Holiday Hour which had some new holiday music mixed with some past yuletide gems. It was a fun hour.

See you next Sunday for the final New Noize show of the year.

GODZILLA MINUS ONE BEST MOVIE OF 2023

I will save the exhaustive long movie write to simply say this movie is not what you expected in all the right ways.

Let's get to New Noize

Song of the Week goes to MGMT with "Bubblegum Dog". I have been highly critical of these Brooklyn dudes with everything they put out and am happy to report I am into the 2 singles they dropped this year, "Bubblegum Dog" being the most recent. It's got this David Bowie Ziggy Stardust feel throughout this new single, check it.

Haiku Hands finally came out with their new LP "Pleasure Beast" and I love it. There are a few other records that were close to this #1 spot including the new collab record by Full of Hell & Nothing "When No Birds Sang", Godzilla Minus One OST & Tiga & Hudson Mohawke's collab record "L'Ecstacy". Ultimately I went with  Haiku Hands cause it's the most fun and we need some fun. Regardless you should listen to "Pleasure Beast" by Haiku Hands and everything else I listed.

So next week will be the final New Noize (maybe) of the year then I will be doing my "Best of 2023" 3-hour wrap-up show the following Sunday, maybe.

Until then see you all next week, maybe.

Back from turkey slaughter day in Florida and it was fantastic. The Ahmed clan was at 100% (which is rare) plus minimal family drama. Something feels off...Anayay back in SB and yes we New Noize'd last night.

Since I missed a few shows this set was packed with a bit of everything.

New Noize song of the week goes to Miso Extra with "2nd Floor" It has this strange offness about it. It is ultra pop with some unique sonic distance that works well backed by her buttery voice. It may be all over the place but you should grab it while you can.

The New Noize Album of the Week was scooped by C'Mon Tigre with "Habitat" This record has a jazz/r&b base foundation but don't peg these humans because this record is truly versatile. Some may say even chaotic. The journey a band makes to figure out their sound is full of discoveries picking up various audio assets and incorporating them into their tool kit. C'Mon Tigre takes this to the next level, some tracks might have you scratching your head pondering if this is the same band you started to listen to. I assure you it is and you should definitely give "Habitat" a chance.

Also seeing Godzilla Minus 1 this Thursday at the smallest IMAX in the US. Yay? Whatever its almost Godzilla time...

It's good to be back in Santa Barbara.

It was a weekend full of laying low and cleaning the apartment cause that the rule before you travel, right? Anyway as SoCal braces for rain this week, yes that is a real thing people are stressing about, lets New Noize.

Before I get into all the fun I did cut almost 75 minutes from this past Sunday's set. Gone are the days of there being an off-season for new music releases which is a huge plus if you like music. I like music. Music.

The New Noize song of the week goes to Heartworms with "May I Comply". More people need to know about this band and their latest single is a great introduction. Fairly new to the scene but their sound is not. Heartworms have all the cliches down. They are from London. They have a goth post punk sound. They also have that black-and-white aesthetic perfected. What is far from cliche is their music. It has a certain aggressive fuck you dont touch me but watch this shit texture which hasn't been seen in this scene for a while. The band is fronted by Jojo Orm, remember that name. If they keep producing quality jams like this you will be hearing about them and her a lot more. While we wait for a proper full-length LP check out "May I Comply" along with their EP "A Comforting Notion" which was released back in March.

The New Noize album of the week goes none other than PinkPanthress. "Heaven knows" flows like an old-school PS2 soundtrack. Cascading landscapes of deep-cut samples hidden through rolling nostalgic drum and base sequences with 90s-like R&B vocals make this record, minus the last track, a wild ride. Not to dive too deep but let's take the track "Feelings" where the listener is met with 2 sounds. One is this classic key progression from a fuzzed-out synth and the other is the character select screen from Street Fighter BUT with an active player pressing in a direction that anyone from the FGC(look it up you normal) would instantly recognize. This combo creates a ridiculous hype yet laid-back intro; I'm talking about the first 8 to 9 seconds of this song that's how much care was taken into the creation of this highly anticipated luxury mixtape, and I mean that in the best ways.

Also no New Noize next week I'll be hanging with the gators as I lounge in my parent's Floridian home turkey slaughter.

Gobble gobble.
