The Fiesta festivities are done here in SB and Monday is hitting like a ton of bricks. Lucky for ya boy, I got a few tamales from Our Lady of Guadalupe to ease me back into reality.

This past Sunday’s New Noize set was one of my more eclectic ones, especially compared to previous shows.

My favorite surprise of the week was the new DIIV song, which I opened with Sunday. In fact, this set was dominated by new singles rather than albums. My favorite single, and your New Noize Song of the Week, is the latest from The Avalanches featuring Portraits of Tracy with “Can’t Get Over Losing You.” The Avalanches are gearing up for another monster record and I am here for it.

Like I said, not a lot of LP selections this week, but there are some, and the ones featured are heavy hitters. I am obsessed with the new Virginia Creeper record. It hits like a good chili, it takes a minute to rest, get in the zone, and once you start, you can’t stop.

Ceremony just dropped their latest record, Tell Me Your Dream, and there is no filler. This one has to be heard cover to cover a few times, back-to-back, to fully immerse yourself.

Being a huge Overmono fan, you know I had to give them some shine. On their latest record, Pure Devotion, they continue to deliver some of the best electronic music of our age. Pure Devotion expands their sound as they use more and more “unique” ways to make music, yet still have a pop-forward sound that would make any audience get out of their seat and move to their specific beat.

Your New Noize Album of the Week is dollhouse by Slow Fiction. Working at a mostly alternative/modern rock station, this is the kind of record you would expect to hear in normal rotation. Pulling elements from garage rock and adding this texture of contemporary sound has created a wonderful LP full of upscale nostalgia in the best way. They are not doing a traditional homage or anything like that; it feels more like the progression of alt-rock in the best ways.

Things are a bit up in the air. I’ll have more on that next week.
