When Grace Ives appears on NME's computer screen from her San Francisco hotel room, head framed by an untidy halo of pastel pink hair, it's a few days after some big news has been shared with the world. The former bedroom pop artist and current indie-pop darling will open for Olivia Rodrigo in 2027, getting her first taste of arena crowds at already sold-out shows in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Munich and London next March and April. Right now, she's feeling “pretty ecstatic”, she beams, her eyes looking off into the distance as a grin paints her face. “It feels like the…
Non è un’operazione nostalgia. Non c’è alcuna patina celebrativa, nessuna distanza museale. I brani vengono suonati come materia viva, instabile, aperta. Non è nemmeno un tributo, nel senso più prevedibile del termine. Quello che accade quando salgono sul palco i Beat è qualcosa di più sottile e, insieme, più radicale: la riattivazione di un codice. Un linguaggio che sembrava archiviato nella storia del rock come parentesi crimsoniana anni ’80 e che invece torna a pulsare, teso, nervoso, attuale.All’inizio degli anni ’80 i King Crimson avevano già cambiato pelle più volte. Ma con la trilogia Discipline (1981), Beat (1982) e Three…

Putting Michael Jackson's discography in order is a less simple exercise than it might seem. It's not just a question of establishing a ranking or identifying the best records, but of deciding where his solo story really begins. On the one hand there is the child prodigy who grew up under the protective wing of Motown and who already releases records under his own name, on the other the artist who since the end of the 70s has rewritten the rules of contemporary pop.The first solo albums were born in a very specific context: Jackson was little more than a…
Fenian Kneecap 1 maggioDopo le polemiche e il processo, finalmente la musica. Rimandato di una settimana, il secondo album del trio nordirlandese si muove tra hip hop e punk-rave. «È una risposta all’ultimo nostro anno», ci ha detto Mo Chara. «Il titolo è Fenian, che viene dall’irlandese Fianna, leggendarie bande di guerrieri della mitologia irlandese. È diventato un insulto contro di noi e la nostra gente: così omaggiando la nostra cultura e la nostra lingua, rendiamo onore a chi siamo».

When the reference to Pascoli's little boy began to be repeated incessantly among the school desks, my CD player first, then MP3, investigated with cautious fear the American emo of the late nineties, that of Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is The Reason, Mineral. After all, what was more similar to the concept of a child than these boys, who soon became men, who looked at themselves with such ferocious emotional naivety? Midwest emo, that specific subgenre made up of serpentine intertwined guitar arpeggios and math rock-style drum rhythms, would have arrived later in my life, but I still believe…
