Bebel Gilberto "Adeus América"
Before I start I made a mistake. It doesn't happen often but some things fly over and under my radar. Apparently, back in February, I missed one of the best albums of 2023 so apologies as I just discovered this gem of a record so you know I put it in last night's mix. Who am I talking about? Straight from South Korea Parannoul with After the Magic. WHAT A RECORD. This has all the things I like, post-rock, bright highlights with melodic grungy grooves that would drive any Sonic Youth nostalgia seeker wild in a good way. This record will be on many people's "top 10 best of 2023" and rightfully so. Again, After the Magic came out in February so it doesn't get the coveted Album of the Week but it does get the "Oops how did I miss that" pick of the week.
So what did get the New Noize Album of the Week? Creep Show & John Grant with "Yawning Abyss". It has this strange 80s-type archetypal electronic sound feel coupled with fuzziness that has a very Tabbacoo lite touch. It's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously so it's high on the carefree meter. I think it's worth your time. Honorable mentions go to the new Portugal the Man & Militarie Gun records. Both deserve your time and should be in your summer rotation.
The New Noize Song of the Week goes to the collab we all needed in 2023 Beck & Phoenix's "Odyssey" Much like the NN Album of the Week this song is just fun in the sun. The only bad thing about this track is that there is not more. Anderson Paak & Bruno Mars set the world on fire with Silk Sonic last year & I can see that kind of success with Beck & Phoenix getting together on an LP but unfortunately, this is all we get, unless...
Catch you cats next week.
