More than twenty years have passed since Emilíana Torrini's voice started appearing in records, films and playlists. Yet, unlike many of her contemporaries, the Icelandic singer-songwriter of Italian origins has never chased the speed of the music industry. Each of his projects arrives when it is ready to arrive. No rush, no algorithms to satisfy. On the eve of the concert of the second weekend of La Prima Estate (Friday 26 June, Lido di Camaiore, with Nick Cave, Sleaford Mods, Dove Ellis, Sara Parigi) we talked about festivals, Italian roots, social networks, creative burnout and the revolutionary value of taking…

Today I find myself sharing a song with them and I still struggle to believe it. It is a unique emotion and, above all, it's the PUNKEST thing I could imagine“, Rob said about the collaboration with the…
As a Black American who was raised in France and currently lives in Germany, people often ask me about how my experiences on both sides of the Atlantic stack up. The question I get asked the most is, “Which is more racist—America or Europe?”: laughable to anyone who has ever actually had to deal with racism, but I understand the underlying sentiment. People want evidence, no matter how anecdotal, that our understanding of these social issues is progressing somewhere, that the grass must be greener. In reality, it’s two sides of the same coin. America-brand racism tends to be boisterous…
When he was a kid, Jarred Beeler would drum his hands on tables, trying to play along with the Lebanese music he grew up hearing. Later, he would try to approximate those same rhythms using MIDI. It was a long, frustrating process, but eventually Beeler, better known as DJ Plead, landed on a sound unlike much other contemporary dance music at that time, adopting Arabic maqam modes to make melodies and rhythms that seemed to spiral out in every direction.DJ Plead’s earliest releases meshed post-dubstep and dancehall with dabke, the sound of folk dances and wedding celebrations across the Arab…
The second album this year from metalcore pioneers Converge is named for a mysterious, pulsing, low-frequency ambient drone, likened by those who hear it to a diesel engine, an idling airplane, or a kind of inescapable torture. Lead vocalist Jacob Bannon came across the phenomenon when researching his own tinnitus and reimagined it as a culmination of all the pain and suffering in human existence. Appropriately, Hum of Hurt may be the heaviest album Converge have made: lean and sinewy, direct and intentional, stripped of any embellishments.Drawn from the same writing sessions that produced Love Is Not Enough, released in…
C’è qualcosa di paradossale nel nuovo romanzo di Emidio Clementi, Prima dell’incendio (edito da Playground), che è ambientato nel 1993 ma sembra parlare più del presente di tanti libri ambientati nella contemporaneità. Nella villa marchigiana di Livia, infatti, si ritrova una compagnia di giovani artisti, musicisti e universitari arrivati da Bologna, tutti alle prese con quella fase della vita in cui si cerca disperatamente di capire chi si vuole diventare da grandi. Al centro della storia c’è Guido, attore, musicista e figura magnetica, ispirato al ricordo di Dario Parisini, fondatore dei Disciplinatha (e per un biennio musicista dei Massimo Volume),…
Until a few years ago, Slayyyter believed that luxury items were symbols of desirable status and style, and he believed it so much that he bought a designer bag that he couldn't afford. “It practically destroyed itself within a month,” he says. I meet her in the offices of Rolling Stone in New York. She wears torn denim shorts and fake-worn custom boots like Kate Moss at Glastonbury 2005. It's her idea of style today and it's a rougher aesthetic, with hair that isn't always combed, second-hand and, when necessary, self-created clothes that are perfect for the spirit of Wor$t…
