Song You Need: It’s always sunny in NOIA’s soul

The FADER’s “Songs You Need” are the tracks we can’t stop playing. Check back every day for new music and follow along on our Spotify playlist. NOIA’s music occupies a space somewhere between comfort and horror, like a leather glove that slides easily onto the hand but renders the fingers slippery and unnatural.
The Brooklyn-via-Barcelona artist-born Gisela Fullà-Silvestre has a discomfiting take on electronic pop music, thriving above sparse, simmering synthesizers that flex and mold to accommodate her fragile vocal lines. Today (March 10), she premieres “verano adentro” (“summer inside”) — the third single from her debut album gisela — with The FADER alongside a surprisingly wintry visual treatment courtesy of Pol Rebaque. Where the record’s lead single “eclipse de amor” (feat.
Buscabella) and its follow-up “didn’t know” (feat. Ela Minus) both centered the ethereal interplay of NOIA and her collaborators, “verano adentro” finds her alone and vulnerable, accompanied only by a few elastic synth chords and what sounds like a slowly rotating rain stick. “‘verano adentro’ is a song about a suspended feeling of quiet and peace, about those small moments when no one can take away your joy or your feeling at peace with the world,” she tells The FADER.
“The song is also a small ode to the rooftops of Barcelona. lying in the sun near the laundry drying. To me, the beat feels a bit deconstructed, half done, and somehow it has a woody texture.

Song You Need: YUNGMORPHEUS’ refreshing clarity
Six weeks away from the release of his forthcoming 19-track album From Whence It Came, YOUNGMORPHEUS has graced us with another glimpse of his clear, uncompromising vision. “Playin’ the Same Game,” which follows “Layman’s Terms” as the record’s second single, is two-and-a-half minutes of precise, unhurried bars over a silky, retro instrumental.

Song You Need: Fever Ray gets revenge
If you needed another reason not to get on Karin Dreijer’s bad side, look no further than “Even It Out.” The deliciously venomous cut from Radical Romantics, their brand new third studio album as Fever Ray, comes with a music video that ups the ante considerably. “This is for Zacharias / Who bullied my kid in high school,” Dreijer sings, their voice pulsing with an anger that’s crossed over into deranged ecstasy. “There’s no room for you / And we know where you live.” The song’s disturbing nature is belied by its ultra-catchiness, its anthemic and arena-ready instrumental, and the woo-hoos Dreijer injects into the track at key points (often after an especially maniacal lyric).

Song You Need: yeule and Kin Leonn flip a Moderat come-up track
yeule’s music comes from a distinctly posthumanist perspective. So it’s only fitting that the remixes they’re so often tapped to make end up sounding more like full-on recreations, stripped for parts and rebuilt in the Singapore-born, London-based artist’s own cyborgian image. Premiering on The FADER today (March 1) is yeule’s take on “EASY PREY” — a track from Moderat’s 2022 album MORE D4TA — reimagined in collaboration with Kin Leonn (a fellow Singapore-born, London-based electronic experimentalist).
