Shadow Songs brings to light songs that remained on the margins of the band's discography, songs born in different periods and never officially included in previous albums, but which have remained alive over time, maintaining their expressive strength intact. The project was born from a particular experience started in 2022, when some of these tracks were shared exclusively through the group's newsletter. A gesture conceived as a direct and intimate exchange with one's community, accompanied by a simple request: to preserve those songs without spreading them online. An experiment based on trust that the fans welcomed and respected completely, transforming…

The Late Show took its final bow on CBS last night, bringing Stephen Colbert's 11 years as host to an emotional end. Many of Colbert's contemporaries, former guests, staff, and admirers paid tribute to the beloved host as the show concluded. “America needs to give a standing ovation for this man tonight,” White wrote on Instagram. “God Bless Stephen, it is absolutely ridiculous that we live in a country where a President's ego can vindictively censor network television…..and nobody stops him.

An hour into Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 film Stalker, the titular “stalker”—a man paid to guide seekers through a lush yet hazardous biome called the Zone— begins to muse on a topic familiar to anyone who has wrestled with aesthetic philosophy in college seminars or between bong rips. Music, he says, is “merely empty sound without associations”—so how does it “miraculously penetrate your very soul”? Monroe Beardsley, Peter Kivy, or your stoner friend can take that one. The existential enormity of the Stalker’s next question overshadows his first: “Why is this all necessary? And above all, for whom?”For whom? It’s a…
Thomas Dollbaum is a songwriter who values atmosphere above all else. His voice is loamy and deep, the dissipating smoke in a room right after you’ve blown out a candle, and it will be familiar to anyone who’s spent time with the road-trip elegies of Damien Jurado or the art-folk incantations of Richard Buckner. On his second album, Birds of Paradise, the Florida-born, Louisiana-based songwriter is accompanied by MJ Lenderman on drums, occasional guitar, and backing vocals, which helps Dollbaum’s rootsy, heartland rock feel part of a larger conversation in modern indie music, and his lyrics about “rambling through the…
Take an Italian postcard image, sift it through TikTok and Instagram and package it for clubs around the world.

An operation which, at first glance, seems like a banal trick to chase the algorithms, but which is turning out to be a real anthropological case study.Andrea and Roberto are two survivors of the Italian indie who in London have erased the past to rebuild…
