M. Geddes Gengras has been exploring the outer edges of synth music for more than 20 years. The Woodstock-via-L.A. experimentalist is probably best known for his work with Sun Araw and the Congos on 2012’s Icon Give Thank, one of the most potent cross-generational collabs of its era. But the bulk of his catalog is crafted in solitude: sweeping, typically lengthy modular synth albums ranging from the strikingly pretty (2022’s Expressed, I Noticed Silence) to the disarmingly heady (the lockdown-era Time Makes Nothing Happen). Guest List marks his first album as a bandleader, corralling 24 guests over nine tracks, and…
“I hate ‘em, there’s no love in the world for me,” Julian Pratt moaned in “Arcanum,” the embittered climax to Show Me the Body’s 2019 album, Dog Whistle. For the majority of its 17-year existence, Pratt’s experimental punk band has been an outlet for that sort of negativity: the pained outbursts of a New York City native who spent most of his youth “guided by fear, hate, and aggression,” as Pratt admitted in a recent interview. However, in the four years since Show Me the Body’s last album, the banjo-slinging frontman’s perspective has changed dramatically. He became a father, weathered…
We know what a new Future album means at this point. Too much dissociated sex. Trust issues. Insecurities that turn into mind games with the same women he’s hoping will save him from himself. Rapper soap opera stuff. Numbing all that pain by going on The Lost Weekend-style binges of booze and drugs. The Real Me is a little different, though—not because all 22 tracks don’t contain the same anxieties that have been haunting his acidic ATL soul music since Honest, but because it’s just as much about living up to the reputation of being Future: the blurred lines between…
Mick Jagger had a missed connection with the King. In a recent interview on the podcast Conan O'Brien Needs a Friendthe Rolling Stones frontman recalled heeding John Lennon's advice to not meet Elvis Presley. “I remember John telling me, 'Yeah, you should never meet your heroes,'” Jagger, 82, said. “So, I didn't. I took John's advice.” Looking back, Jagger admitted that it “was really stupid of me” because he would “have loved to have met Elvis.” The rocker said that Lennon would often tell him the story of the time the Beatles met Elvis at his mansion in Bel Air,…

The artist released his last rock album in 1993 It's been over three decades since Billy Joel released his last rock album, 1993's critically acclaimed River of Dreams. The prolific songwriter has put down his pen since then and in a recent interview, shared that it was because he didn't want to “dilute” his legacy. When speaking to fellow musician Rick Beato, Joel said that after releasing River of Dreamshe “felt like I was done.” “I was married [to Christie Brinkley]I had a child. I didn't want to lock myself in a cave and devote myself like a monk to writing…
