«“Leave for the hills of Ubeda” in Spanish means to digress, to get lost in the conversation [“I colli di Ubeda”]. This EP is what happens when the writer loses control of their stories. Words rebel and unexpected stories are born: love stories [“Parole d’amorte”]stories of exclusion of those who represent what we don't want to see and who make their voices heard for the first time [“C’era una volta un uomo”]. This EP is a bet: to make nonsense creative, to make it… danceable [“L’ultimo (De André e Tecno)”].» GOLCONDA Golconda he is a Florentine singer-songwriter-rapper who lives in…

Atlanta’s Ultra Lights are a nostalgia act, if only because they make scuzzy millennial garage rock in the year 2026, when not even the Strokes seem very much interested in sounding like the Strokes. This shit is classic rock now: Is This It is 25 years old, Brooklyn is no longer the hipster center of the universe, and those Converses you used to wear now need insoles. Atlanta may not be an obvious hub for upcoming indie rock acts, but on their debut, Pleasure’s All Yours, Ultra Lights are doing their damn best to make Atlanta sound like early-2000s New…

April is the cruellest month. You Are Spring!, the fourth album from Chicago-born, New York-based singer-songwriter Tasha Viets-VanLear, is decorated by soft flutters of woodwind and languid harmonies. It conjures a fantasy universe of analgesic pleasures. And like all little utopias it is imposed upon by a more complicated and painful reality.Even on the paradisiac-seeming a cappella introduction, a collaboration with Jamila Woods and L’Rain, something lingers in the foreground. The album’s opening line may sound like a positive affirmation—“Don’t die now/There is life to be found now”—but someone’s clearly close to dying, thinking about it, drifting into its orbit.…

What’s a Rick Owens hypebeast to do this side of Playboi Carti’s MUSIC? The gloriously messy rage-rap capstone could’ve brought a graceful conclusion to the era-defining breed of metallurgic trap that Carti popularized with 2020’s Whole Lotta Red. It was a full-circle finale that simultaneously celebrated and snuffed out its own generational sound. The neat critical narrative is that MUSIC’s untouchable extremity knocked rage unconscious, both with its glass-shattering production and zeitgeist-engulfing sprawl. The messier truth is that rage’s fanbase is still growing, even as the sound is trending toward a sharp creative decline. Second-wave ragers like Che and OsamaSon…

Steven Hall, the man behind the Nirosta Steel moniker, is fond of mentioning the notion of “deep play.” It’s a phrase coined by the 18th-century British philosopher Jeremy Bentham that describes a game with impossible odds, one that no sane or rational person would ever sign up for. More than amateurism or religion, “deep play” seems to have been the governing principle of how the musician has navigated his remarkable life.Hall moved to America from Scotland after urging his widowed mother to marry her closest suitor, studied poetry with Allen Ginsberg, Buddhism with the Chögyam Trungpa (the teacher who popularized…
