The Grammys were last night, and yeah, it was a fun show. I called most of the winners, which obviously makes me a music industry oracle. Feeling very proud of myself.

The New Noize Song of the Week is "I Want You (Fever)" by Momma. This track is the jam. Momma is back, better than ever. Feels like one of those albums that’ll be both commercially and critically acclaimed, but we’ll have to wait for the full release. Those tumbling riffs scream post-’90s goodness, and honestly, this might end up being one of the best records of 2025.

Another standout track is "Feels So Wrong" by Mamalarky. It’s got this groove that makes you wanna move—even though it’s aggressively chill. That's what they call duality right?

Motherhood's new album is loud, chaotic and Canadian. It also happens to be the New Noize Album of the week. Thunder Perfect Mind is aggressive but not like METZ. Yes its fuzzy but utilizes dynamic shifts in their movements while using soft harmonies to smooth out their overall sound and create small moments of joy in spots you wouldn't expect. It's a wild ride, and one that fully deserves your time.

Also, do you like Crumb? If yes, then you need to hear Teddy by Planet Parlor. It’s that brand of chill music that somehow hypes me up while keeping me mellow. LAID. BACK.

Oh, and on top of all that, I played three cover songs this week. Just saying.

Small programming note, no New Noize this coming Sunday cause of the Super Bowl.

And finally—my first live show of 2025 is locked in: Cowboy Bebop Live. Anime, jazz, and my fellow nerds? Going down Saturday at the Ventura Majestic Theater. Maybe I’ll even find my Faye Valentine...

See you in space, cowboy.
