The cassette’s cover is a dream for the crate-digging exoticist. A bearded man in glasses stands at the center of the frame, wearing the black eksorasson and kamilavka of the Greek Orthodox church. He angles a matching obsidian seven-string guitar skyward, the Greek Orthodox cross painted in gold just beneath the bridge. The letters around it abbreviate a mighty message, “Jesus Christ Conquers.” Only his beard breaks the blackness, the white cascading down his vestments. He looks like a hesher but also, of course, a priest, a binary complicated by the rectangle of 36 red roses that surround him, all…
Rob Perfect chaos interview by April 22, 2026. We had a chat with the winner of X Factor 2025 who told us about his latest EP coming out on April 24. Rob is in the midst of a fast-moving moment: the release of his first EP, Perfect chaosand a phase of life in which everything seems to change together. When we ask her how she is, the answer is direct: “I'm super excited, I can't wait for everyone to hear the tracks.” The starting point is precisely that title. Because chaos, for her, is not something to be fixed. “The…
When country fans hit play to listen to Ella Langley's second album, they heard a song that was nothing like the hit Choosin' Texas. The 26-year-old from Hope Hull, Alabama decided to open up Dandelion with a folk piece that has centuries of history. «Froggy Went a-Courtin' is one of the first two songs I learned to sing, the other is Amazing Grace» he says in a rare moment of pause. «When we all got together as a family, we would sit around the piano and sing Froggy. It's a personal record, this one, in the sense that it tries…

The music of sadie, the New York-based artist née Anna Schwab, finds common ground between the bedroom pop of early Clairo and Charli XCX’s rare straightforward ballads. The Auto-Tuned vocals and quirky drum programming of her early releases veered towards hyperpop territory, but her music isn’t interested in ambushing the listener with that genre’s frenetic sounds and fast BPMs; instead, it creates a cozy, emotionally vulnerable environment. For her debut album, which she made after leaving a decade-long relationship, sadie reached for an acoustic guitar to create a collection of songs that subtly fleshes out her sound with analog instrumentation.Compared…

Per Deadline, a synopsis details that Halsey stars as Proxy, a “troubled DJ” who finds herself stranded in Montreal and “meets an alluring artist and his group of friends who run an underground radio station.” After a “mysterious signal hidden deep beneath the city’s…
It’s amazing to see a musician shoot outta the gate fully-formed, at full strength. But there’s something more edifying, in light of the lives most of us live, to watch an artist hit stride steadily, building a greatness over years. Long-game players. Kevin Morby is one of those.Precocious? Sure—drops out of a Midwest high school, hits Brooklyn as indie crests, joins a rangy band with DIY ambitions (Woods) before he’s of legal drinking age, forms his own band with a talented co-conspirator (the Babies, with Vivian Girls’ Cassie Ramone), then goes solo, accruing catalog and keepers over a decade-plus, averaging…
Erano all’apice del successo. Poi sono arrivati i dischi solisti, la leva, i dubbi sull’identità del gruppo. Ora V, Suga, Jin, Jung Kook, RM, Jimin e J-Hope sono tornati per dimostrare di essere ancora i numeri uno del K-popQuando RM deve affrontare una crisi esistenziale, cosa che accade piuttosto spesso, pensa alle parole di Rainer Maria Rilke o ai testi di Tyler, the Creator. Il leader dei BTS ama quell’altro RM, lo scrittore e poeta, e continua a tornare su una poesia del 1905 intitolata Vai ai limiti del tuo desiderio: “Lascia che tutto ti accada: bellezza e terrore. Si…
Born from a commission from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (for an exhibition built around prestigious works from the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam), Seism it could have taken the most obvious path: becoming a composed, atmospheric, illustrative work. Instead it does the opposite, energetically reactivating the border dialogue in which a certain research electronics meets art. The first album co-authored by Upsammy and Valentina Magaletti, released (not by chance) for the Berlin-based Pan, does not accompany a space, it undermines it. He does not seek a pacified synthesis between electronics and percussion, between digital and physical, control and instinct:…
