Long weekends mean late updates to New Noize. I hope everyone's memorial day weekend went well. I spent the majority of my time running through Hyrule under an overcast Santa Barbara sky. I'm not complaining... Also apologies for the missing tracks this week. Apparently, Spotify doesn't like metal.

New Noize Song of the Week goes to the new single by George Clanton. His vaporwave style is expanding in all the right ways and those ways give me Deftones vibes if the Deftones did vaporwave. Definitely for the kids that like that 90s era sound.

The New Noize Album of the Week was close to impossible to pick. I mean you had new records from Water From Your Eyes, Stuck, Arlo Parks, AJJ, Temps, Kassa Overall, and Kari Faux. All of these records are amazing but this week the cream of the crop goes to Saya Gray with QWERTY. The record is under 18 minutes but what a 17 minutes and 22 seconds. Exciting, bold, fun, untraditional, what I like to call "avante garde lite" and so much more encapsulates what this record is trying to do. I implore you to listen to all the records I just mentioned with Saya Gray's QWERTY at the top.

Did anyone know that Final Fantasy XVI is coming out in 23 days!!!! I don't think I have ever overlapped a Zelda game with a Final Fantasy game but it's happening whether I like it or not. FFXVI is already causing controversy as it is a full-on action game and has ditched all the RPG elements that make a FF game. Normally I would be really upset about this but then I think about how I initially reacted to the FFVII remake, specifically about the newly revamped gaming mechanic. I was upset, talking shit, and wasn't about it until I got the game and was like OH SNAPS this change works. So I will reserve all judgment until I start playing this new installment of one of my favorite gaming franchises.  

Also Street Fighter this week!
