- Noise Pop Festival 2026 Presents: - Julie Doiron - Yea-Ming - Marika Christine - — - Julie Doiron is back with I Thought Of You, her first solo record since 2012’s So Many Days. Every bit an instant classic as only she can masterfully create, Julie Doiron emanates a radiative force with nothing more than her guitar and her unmistakably indomitable voice. Julie Doiron is a maker of songs and a teller of stories, wielding her instruments like a craftsperson would their tools. - — - Yea-Ming, the Oakland-based singer-songwriter is known for her heart-tugging lyrics, catchy melodies and dreamy notions. Her low, dusky tones recall ‘60s German singer Nico, although she was most inspired as a young adult by pop punk and indie bands like Mr. T. Experience, The Queers and Dressy Bessy. “Bands like that,” she says, “made me realize the power of a simple song.”‍ - — - Marika Christine is inspired by the power of tenderness. Her music creates a whimsical atmosphere to navigate the highs and lows of life. Sonic influences include Laurel Canyon folk, indie pop, and gentle psychedelic rock. She has been active in the San Francisco Bay Area music scene for nearly a decade and has been featured on tracks by Mild Universe, Asha Wells, and Butterman. She is also a touring musician in Spacemoth and a founding member of Dinner Date. Her first full-length album, Soft Like an Apricot, was released on Ghost Mountain Records in 2023. Now she’s preparing to share a new album, Enjoy the Clouds, with Anxiety Blanket Records, which delivers a collection of “heart on the sleeve” songs with emotional truths that anyone can connect to.
