Listen to Noise Pop's latest new music mix, featuring Moonface, Ty Segall and White Fence, Japandroids, AU, and more.

Blame it on the season! There's been an abnormal amount of new music released in the last few weeks and man, is it wonderful. Clearly spring has sprung for the music industry and we're fortunate enough to reap the rewards. We had such a hard time narrowing the song selection down to just ten that we decided to expand the tracklist to fifteen. Turn up your headphones/speakers and dig into this bounty of great new music.

Tracklist:

1. "Hornet's Nest" -- Jonti, Twirligig
2. "All of Me" -- Tanlines, Mixed Emotions
3. "I Am Not A Game" -- Ty Segal and White Fence, Hair
4. "Jasmine" -- Jai Paul, single
5. "Ain't It So" -- PAPA, A Good Woman Is Hard to Find EP
6. "Sinful Nature" -- Bear in Heaven, I Love You, It's Cool
7. "Ice Sheets on Feet Prints" -- Dustin Wong, Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads
8. "The House That Heaven Built" -- Japandroids, Celebration Rock
9. "Sa Sa Samoa (Elite Gymnastics Remix)" -- Korallreven, single
10. "Fronting" -- Saskatchewan, unnamed debut LP
11. "Get Alive" -- AU, Both Lights
12. "Afria Talks to You" -- Delicate Steve, Positive Force
13. "Friend Crush" -- FRIENDS, single
14. "Turn on the Sunshine" -- Suckers, Candy Sald
15. "Headed for the door" -- Moonface, With Siinai, Heartbreaking Bravery

Polley's 'Stories': A Family Saga Strikingly Spun

A director's film memoir of her theatrical family is transformed by surprising discoveries about her parents' past -- and her own heritage. Sarah Polley's film becomes a superb meditation on how we dramatize memory. (Recommended) By Bob Mondello

The One About Orange Peels And Music On A Mountain

Cy Musiker and David Wiegand scout the Bay Area for things to do this coming weekend and turn up orange peels, music on a mountain, and much more!   

Music
  • First Listen: Mount Kimbie, 'Cold Spring Fault Less Youth'

    The British beat-makers shed their electronics in pursuit of a sound designed to translate live. For their second album, Mount Kimbie's Dominic Maker and Kai Campos even trot out languid vocal performances and a real live drum kit, while still sounding like themselves in the process.

  • First Listen: Tricky, 'False Idols'

    The producer's best album since the mid-'90s, False Idols is one of 2013's biggest surprises so far. His signature mix of menace and seduction still sounds contemporary after Tricky's more than 20 years in (and out of) the spotlight.

  • First Listen: Laura Marling, 'Once I Was An Eagle'

    Marling's songs dig well beyond the everyday, with each sung in a wise, dusky, brooding voice that always seems in control of its surroundings. The U.K. folksinger's fourth album, Once I Was an Eagle, takes a remarkable journey over the course of 16 hypnotic, subtly inventive songs.

  • First Listen: Sean Nelson, 'Make Good Choices'

    Eight years after his last album with Harvey Danger, Nelson returns with a wonderfully catchy and quotable solo record. True to virtually every piece of music the singer-songwriter has ever written, Make Good Choices is fueled by a cocktail of quotability and charm.
