When John Prine was 14 or 15 his brother Dave took him down to the Old Town School of Folk Music. John’s problem, his brother figured, was a lack of direction. He was interested in gymnastics and art but otherwise just hung around the pool hall. Little by little, Dave was getting him into folk music, teaching him a few chords and playing him Carter Family records. In the early ’60s, the Old Town School was located in a ramshackle storefront on Chicago’s North Avenue, but it had already hosted legends like Pete Seeger, Mahalia Jackson, and Big Bill Broonzy.…

Anyone can call themselves genreless; anyone can sell their guitars and/or turntables and buy the other. It’s much harder to sound like several genres playing at once, as Philly act Cold Court do. Led by siblings Mini Serrano and Jojo Lavina-Maldonado, they began as a post-punk band in the vein of Black Midi or Geese. After releasing a handful of songs that captured the band in a studio, they steadily embraced Ableton, trying to outdo each other with songs that became increasingly blown-out and distorted. Now they sound like the suit from A Scanner Darkly if it were a band:…

Chris Forsyth has an unusually specific inspiration for his group BASIC: Basic, an obscure album of oddball electronic rhythms and supremely wobbly guitar released in 1984 by Lou Reed collaborators Robert Quine and Fred Maher. Long out of print and circulation, but traded like a secret handshake among record heads, Basic is a one-of-one record: Listening to it on vinyl, one may wonder, Hang on, is this playing at the right speed?Discovering their mutual affection for the album, Forsyth and guitarist Nick Millevoi—bandmates in the exploratory, guitar-centric Solar Motel Band—recruited Natural Information Society percussionist and drum-machine wrangler Mikel Patrick Avery…

I Daft Punk non si sono sciolti in mondo convenzionale. Niente lunghe spiegazioni, né intervista finale, solo un video criptico e quasi nessuna parola. Uscendo di scena in questo modo, il duo aggiunto un altro strato al proprio mito. A quel punto Thomas Bangalter è sparito dalla circolazione, come se l’uomo dietro la maschera dovesse assentarsi per un po’ prima di tornare.Ora che l’ha fatto, il suo ritorno sulle scene non ha nulla di certi spettacolari comeback, ma è una somma di piccoli gesti: qualche disco; apparizioni improvvisate; la colonna sonora di Mirage – Ballet for 16 Dancers, balletto di…

Despite the passing of Gabi Delgado in 2020, Robert Görl tried in some way to keep the historic Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft project afloat, first with a new, all in all decent work (“Nur Noch Einer”) and then with a series of celebratory concerts unfortunately devoid of the restless presence of the late frontman. Better then to concentrate on a solo album under the name Görl, for the occasion created in cahoots with the DJ and producer Sylvie Marks, a leading figure within the group clubbing Teutonic. Characterized by an unfailing analogue minimalism, “Dark Silver Moon Light” offers us ten rather varied…

Dream Me a Dream serves as a coda to Dance of Love, the 2024 album that introduced cult singer/songwriter Tucker Zimmerman to a wider audience thanks to an assist from Big Thief, who served as his supporting band. The music brought Zimmerman, who dropped off the grid in Belgium after releasing the Tony Visconti-produced, David Bowie-endorsed Ten Songs in 1970, back from obscurity, so he seized the opportunity to deliver a sequel.Not long after completing Dream Me a Dream, Zimmerman and Marie-Claire Lambert, his wife of 55 years and frequent creative partner, perished in a house fire. The terrible accident…

The Eels are back with a new album. The band led by Mark Oliver Everett, alias E, will release their sixteenth studio work, “Cookie Happened”, out on E Works/Play It Again Sam on October 16th. Accompanying the announcement also comes the first single, “Cap In Hand” (listen below), a bittersweet song that introduces some of the album's atmospheres and tells the story of a man who tries to come to terms with his mistakes and put his life back in order. Between melancholy and human warmth, the song anticipates an album focused on small daily victories, on inevitable defeats and…

Eddie Vedder, leader of Pearl Jam, has shared the new single “Better Believe”, created together with the young musicians of the Chicago Guitars Over Guns collective. The song was performed live for the first time on June 18 during the inauguration ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center.“Better Believe” was born from an initiative promoted by the Obama Foundation which involved the Pearl Jam frontman and Guitars Over Guns, a non-profit organization committed to the artistic and human support of young people from complex social contexts. The proceeds generated by the individual will be allocated entirely to the association's activities. The…

Belle and Sebastian, about to return to Italy for two live dates, have added a third concert, scheduled for Sunday 29 November 2026 in Ciampino (Rome), Orion Club (Tickets available on Ticketone). The historic Scottish indie-pop band will soon be in our country to celebrate 30 years of “If You're Feeling Sinister”, one of their most beloved albums.
