There are very few interviews of Suzy Sheer online. The enigmatic electronic duo, made up of producer boysinblush and vocalist Tuchscreen, have remained mostly under the radar, despite collaborations with buzzy underground stars like fakemink and Snow Strippers. One of the rare interviews you can scavenge comes from a Substack apparently themed entirely around nighttime bus rides; in it, boysinblush describes an imagined 2 a.m. ride home. In minimalistic, impressionistic responses, he notes the minutiae surrounding him: the dirt and scribbles on the seat in front of him, a coffee crisp wrapper in his bag, a kid onboard coughing. “I’m…

Koyo couldn’t be more Long Island if they tried. The band is undeniably a product of Long Island melodic hardcore’s long, fruitful legacy—one that encompasses everyone from Silent Majority, who were 1990s proto-emo trailblazers, to Glassjaw, who fused the serrated chaos of hardcore with pockets of unexpected harmony, to bands like Brand New and Taking Back Sunday, who brought this sound to malls and stadiums across America in the early 2000s. From their very first release, Koyo has paid homage to this scene—the five-piece called its first EP “a love letter to Long Island music.” Now, on their second full-length…

It’s getting harder to surrender yourself—to the music, the moment—without noticing a bitter aftertaste. On her sixth and purportedly final record, The Afterparty, Lykke Li envisions a dawn when everyone’s stumbling home bleary-eyed: riding out the comedown, knotted with anxiety, disjointed and hollow. Li’s talked about her disenchantment with the music industry, from algorithm-based promotion to parasociality, and The Afterparty is positioned as a last gasp. It’s a paean to feeling lost and despondent amid the sparkling lights, suddenly all too aware that you’ve outgrown your lifestyle. Leaning into anonymity over intimacy, Li captures the anxieties of feeling outpaced and…

But it’s the middle-of-the-road songs that bring down HABIBTI. “Hurr Nor Thurr” should be exciting, but its ghostly hums and drums sound as if they’re covered in molasses, and Drake and Sexyy Red are just trudging through them. “Classic” feels more like window dressing than a full idea, ceding half the track to a pitched-up Jus’ Cauze sample that’s bait for crate-digging R&B nostalgia hounds. Drake’s more reserved style on the downtempo tracks puts his aphorisms about modern life and its contradictions under a microscope, which feel less charming than they did 15 years ago. “Fightin’ with me, tryna fire…

For one glittering moment in 2016, a woman in an oversized two-tone wig and matching top hat stepped onto the Survivor finale stage to hand $50,000 to a gardener from San Francisco. The hefty prize had been awarded not because the man outwitted, outplayed, or outlasted his competitors, but because he refused to let his tribe slaughter a chicken.The woman behind the prize was Sia — yes, that Sia — and what first felt like a wonderfully random act of reality-TV chaos soon evolved into one of Survivor’s strangest traditions: the “Sia Prize,” an unofficial cash award for players whose…
