Think of the patience it requires to play in Horse Lords. You’ve trained your fingers and ears to the surgical fine point wherein you can play your instrument, cleanly and unerringly, against two or three conflicting meters. And then you bring this talent to bear on a piece like “Playing and Reality,” from their latest full-length, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!, which asks you to play the same four notes, in the same order, in lockstep. Over and over and over again.Instrumental rock music of the kind Horse Lords make—hypnotic, hyper-focused, complex—usually carries a whiff of manifesto, offering…

Ruth Garbus can come across like the jazz singer at an elegant party who took peyote right before her set and just started freestyling. Her voice, her arrangements, and her performances are sophisticated and beautiful, even austere. But then, she’ll step to the mic and open a song like this: “When I penetrated that man I felt just like a dog.” Or maybe you’ll catch her in a more wholesome mood and she’ll tell you about the time she went to the fair and won a Moana doll. “I was so ecstatic I thought I might cry…. and I did……

I Muse puntano alla Luna, aprono i chakra, invitano nuovi membri a far parte dell’equipaggio. In pieno tour americano, il capo spedizione Matthew Bellamy ci racconta come ha creato il suo disco più personale, The Wow! Signal, dopo essersi «perso nello spazio interstellare».Ma a chi parlano i Muse nel 2026? Ancora a parecchia gente, a quanto pare: con quasi 22 milioni di ascoltatori mensili su Spotify, il trio inglese composto da Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme e Dom Howard continua a conquistare il pubblico. Ne hanno fatta di strada da quando all’inizio degli anni ’90 nutrivano la speranza di replicare i brividi…

“Has the world changed or have I changed?” asks Morrissey in the title track of the new Smiths album The Queen Is Dead. For once, the question is not rhetorical. Of course, the singer hasn't put his obsessions aside: the album contains songs about being buried alive, picnicking in cemeteries, his mother, Oscar Wilde and the beauty of isolating himself from the world. Morrissey's unmistakable vocal style, a kind of Edith Piaf on the dole, and Johnny Marr's wall of guitars are still there, but the Smiths sound somehow different: confident, no longer self-obsessed.It's hard to imagine Morrissey making fun…

The Southern-rock pioneer fused country-blues with San Francisco-style extended improvisation, creating a template for countless jam bands The question “Can white men sing the blues?” has been debated for decades, especially once earnest white kids began taking a crack at the music in the 1960s. But in the case of Gregg Allman, no one ever raised the question. It wasn’t simply a matter of his husky, often pained voice and the genuine sense of despair, desperation, and boastfulness conveyed by it. It was also a reflection of the tragedy that haunted Allman’s life, from the murder of his father when…

Amanda Seyfried has revealed that she learned to play the entirety of Joni Mitchell’s ‘Blue’ for a biopic project that got shelved. The star has been backed to play the music icon on screen for a while, gaining widespread support last year after performing a viral cover of ‘California’ on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. However, Seyfried has now revealed that she had actually been attached to portray Mitchell in a film for a number of years beforehand, and learnt to play the dulcimer during the COVID-19 pandemic. “It was a movie about her and [manager] Elliot Roberts,” she…

The Tonight Show turned into a full-on Knicks lovefest as superfan Jimmy Fallon stacked the guest lineup with players from the NBA championship team and the audience with die-hard Knicks fans who did not get to attend the Finals in person. Monday’s episode, which airs tonight at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, bumped original guest Lin Manuel Miranda, who graciously conceded his couch spot. His appearance was taped to air next week. Knicks night started with some boos — the warmup comic joking that “the Spurs are here!” — then house band the Roots about-faced the vibe when they kicked…
