If Caetano Veloso started working with Arthur Russell instead of Arto Lindsay at the end of the ’80s, it might have sounded like Bruno Berle. Since his 2022 debut, No Reino dos Afetos, the Brazilian songwriter has bridged lo-fi dream pop and música popular brasileira, or MPB, by adding his acoustic guitar and thick vocal timbre to looped sample-based beats. On his latest album, Sem Fronteiras, when the alchemy works, he lands on weird, tender lullabies like “A Noite de Estrelas” that extract and expose the alien elements of the Brazilian sound into a kind of “hyperbossa.” When it fails,…
synecdoche new york’s 2024 self-titled debut was meant to be a one-off upload, quickly recorded as a low-stakes riff on the work of then-ascendant slowcore revivalists like sign crushes motorist and flyingfish.

In the days of rock’s youth, we were told what it meant to be a man. Presley was said to be the first star to slick back his hair, with Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, and Gene Vincent soon also to sport the telltale pompadour of the reckless troubadour. Roger Daltrey pioneered bare-chested fringe jackets and a masculine/fey dialectic which Robert Plant both refined and operatically expanded upon, in ways that remain transporting and mortifying in equal measure. Rod Stewart begat Paul Westerberg who begat Kurt Cobain, the chiseled, raspy-voiced pretty boy with a chip on their shoulder and a melody…

Earlier this month, the Drug Enforcement Administration issued two Notices of Intent to temporarily ban substances derived from kratom, an herbal stimulant used by many Americans for relief from anxiety, pain, and opioid withdrawal. The move was commended by the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services, with officials framing it as a victory for public health. The action would classify the compound 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and three other kratom-related substances in the same category as heroin and LSD, under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), meaning they have no accepted medical use and a high potential…
