The Noisy – Grenadine 

A song that reminds us of nights that start at 3am with someone tapping on your window (that’s not trying to kill you) with their car idling down the block, because your parents are immigrants and they would literally kill you rather than letting you have one adventure at an unsociable hour, if they heard the engine block sputtering away because everyone you know drives a piece of shit and is one too. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Noisy Tease New Album

The Noisy, a band founded by award-winning poet Sara Mae (they/them), announce signing with Audio Antihero (Frog / Avery Friedman / Magana / CIAO MALZ) with a vampy, silent-movie-esque music video for ‘Twos’, which teases The Secret Ingredient is Even More Meat, an upcoming deluxe edition of their acclaimed debut album.

The dream pop/synth rock band released a vampy, queer, and silent-movie-esque new music video from director Sam Cush, which teases an upcoming deluxe edition of their debut album.

Featuring practical effects and vampire makeup by Philly drag talent, ‘Twos’ channels gothic-glam in the spirit of vintage cinema, dripping with theatrical flair and midnight movie camp. Starring local icon Miss Thing, the video follows the success of ‘Violet Lozenge’, The Noisy’s most recent drag-forward release, which WXPN praised as “glamorous, retro, and proudly queer.”

Front-person Sara Mae Henke (they/them) comments on the upcoming video: “I wrote this song like a pop song but wanted the production to bend towards Mannequin Pussy with sludgy guitars and twinkly keys. The music video literalizes the too much-ness of the story, Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Grey Gardens meets two dates to the prom.”

The Noisy got its start in Knoxville, Tennessee, as a solo project of award-winning poet Sara Mae Henke. In spring 2023, after evolving from a solo project of Sara Mae to a full band, they released ‘Morricone’ with a Strega Nona meets Clint Eastwood music video, launching a crowdfunding campaign for their debut album, The Secret Ingredient is More Meat. The band sold merch, raffled a cowboy hat, and ran a GoFundMe alongside a month-long tour, raising over $3,000 to bring this debut to life; an album for their queer community.

To celebrate the first anniversary of The Secret Ingredient is More Meat, Audio Antihero will be issuing a deluxe edition entitled The Secret Ingredient is Even More Meat, which will include new and reimagined songs.
