Noisemakers February 2019

Published: Feb. 26, 2019, 8 a.m.

It\u2019s February and with Noise Pop Festival and SXSW on the horizon, we have a sneaking suspicion you\u2019re pining for the best new releases that\u2019ll feed your senses well into the year. This is why we\u2019re here and the Noise Pop Podcast team raises you a world premiere from SF\u2019s own Mikos Da Gawd from his debut album, \u2018Hell Yeah Brother,\u2019out March 4 on Text Me Records. You\u2019ll hear Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah\u2019s resurgent jazz sound; tribal-drum laden with warbles of brass and deliberate vocals from Saul Williams as well as the choice coupling of trenchantly lovelorn singer-songwriters Julia Jacklin and Faye Webster. We won\u2019t steal production trio Planet Giza\u2019s shine\u2014but their latest track glows. Plus Helado Negro\u2019s quietly ambrosial grooves and Mahawam\u2019s mercurial electro hip-hop round out an exciting February slate. Press play.
