Solstice weekend is in the books, and what a weekend it was! The heatwave hit hard, and Santa Barbara was all the better for it. For the past six weeks or so, we've been stuck under a marine layer that wouldn’t burn off until 4 PM, but that weather cycle came to an abrupt end. All the pagans and non-pagans gathered in our little beach community to celebrate the sun. I had a great time, a really great time. But that being said, I’m done with socializing for a while. Seriously. Every time I leave my apartment, it feels like Judd Apatow is directing my life. I can't afford this, Judd—figuratively, mentally, or literally.

Sunday was the last day of Solstice, and instead of hitting it hard again, I spent the day recovering my lifeforce. Plus, I had New Noize later that evening.

And New Noize is why you’re here! Clearly, there were a ton of bangers this week—so many that I'll have to spill into the following weekend to cover it all. I only have two hours for my set, and trust me, I could have easily done a four-hour show.

Picking the best in show this week was tough, but by the glory of the sun, I found my way and chose Suki Waterhouse's "Supersad" as the New Noize Song of the Week. This is her fifth single from her upcoming record Memoir of a Sparklemuffin (out in September), and so far, these songs are very different in composition but still unmistakably her style. More to come once 9/13 rolls around.

O. finally dropped WeirdOs, and yes, this is your New Noize Album of the Week. If you’re a regular at New Noize, you know I’ve been all over their single releases in anticipation of this new album, so this was an easy pick for me. It might not be for everyone, though. This isn’t an experimental album, but it has all the elements of experimental music that I enjoy. It’s chaotic in its cohesion and bursting with boombastic moments of joy. Again this album isn’t for everyone, but you’ll enjoy the excitement of all the surprises after multiple listens. You start to pick up on themes, cultural references, and other Easter eggs they’ve hidden throughout this unassuming masterpiece. Trying new things is fun, so give this a spin.

Speaking of trying new things, definitely check out the new albums from Your Old Droog & Catpack. Oh, and the new King Krule EP is solid AF.

I'll be back next Sunday—hopefully, you will be too.
