Ramshackle Swedish folk, medieval jam sessions, home-spun hymns recorded straight to tape, and albums named after revolutionary communist bands: The world of Gustaf Dicksson’s musical project Blod may seem unbearably esoteric. But a little context helps; Dicksson is a spiritual descendant of Swedish Progg movement of the 1960s and ’70s—not to be confused with prog rock, it was a left-wing, anti-commercial music movement that encompassed a wide range of styles, from psych-rock bands to nationally beloved singer-songwriters. Blod is indebted to the mossier, more experimental ends of the movement, including bands like Träd, Gräs & Stenar. This is the anti-capitalist,…

When guitarist Marisa Anderson asked to see the famed folklorist and anthropologist Harry Smith’s record collection—or what was left of it when he died in 1991—she was given 15 minutes. It was enough time for her worldview to explode. Sitting in the climate-controlled room in the back of the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, she shuffled past the expected southern gospel, country blues, and Native American ceremonial records to discover literally thousands of folk recordings drawn from around the world: Afghanistan. Pakistan. Central Vietnam. Eritrea. Yemen. Soviet Russia. Her mind reeled. What was this music, and how had it wound…
“Say it with your chest,” aja monet commands in the opening seconds of the color of rain. The phrase, popularized by an old Kevin Hart bit, tends to be a taunt, but monet freaks it. With growing vim, she likens a chest to an engine waiting to be fired, the cavity within to a “darling darkness,” the heart to a tenderly cupped firefly—each metaphor diluting the machismo of the saying. By the time monet repeats the expression at the end of her verse, chanting it gently as pitter-pattering drums and hushed keys subsume her voice, “say it with your chest”…
