Russian Circles’ music has always made the case that riffs can tell a story. Throughout a career that spans over two decades, the instru-metal pioneers have pushed their sound in various directions—sometimes flirting with the textural, atmospheric approach of post-rock, but more often using stark arrangements to put their beefed-up riffage in the forefront.

On “Empath,” the album’s second track, a series of death and thrash metal…

She alleged a violent conspiracy that indicted 28 co-defendants, including YSL artists Gunna, Yak Gotti, and Duke, along with label head Young Thug, but failed to win convictions on the most serious charges. Still, Willis claims…
“I never actually wanted to be a DJ,” Simon Green, better known as versatile electronic producer Bonobo, recently told Mixmag. “It just kind of happened by accident.” Now, after 26 years spent exploring the nuances of downtempo and house music, he wants off the album-tour hamster wheel. Distance in Static is likely his last Bonobo album, he says—at least “in a traditional sense.” The British musician recently moved from Southern California to Japan and is eyeing film scores, art installations, and modular string quartets with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson as potential next steps.
