Ed Sheeran‘s former support act Aaron Rowe has said people should direct their anger towards “the likes of Robert Kraft”. Rowe was among the artists to withdraw from Sheeran’s ongoing ‘Loop’ tour last week, after Macklemore was dropped from the shows due to making an impassioned “Free Palestine” speech during a gig at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. He subsequently faced calls for his removal from the tour, including from Pink and the Israeli American Council. Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft later said he found Macklemore’s comments “deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community”. Sheeran maintained that the final decision to…

Saturday Night Live UK took aim at Ed Sheeran after the recent controversy involving his Loop tour. The late-night show’s second season premiere opened with a sketch about King Charles and Princess Diana that ended up focusing on Sheeran’s inability to pick a side. In the sketch, Charles, played by Larry Dean, is given a new AI bot (Jack Shep) by pair of tech billionaires (Celeste Dring and Freddie Meredith) at Buckingham Palace. The bot is a “Deeply Intelligent, Autonomous, Neurokinetic Android,” a.ka. “DIANA.” The AI goes rogue and shoots the billionaires, leading Charles to say, “We must do everything…

Emma Ruth Rundle is discovering that there’s more to life than loneliness. Across a decade-plus of solo recordings, the Portland-based singer-songwriter has typically favored sounds of desolation and solitude. She’s treated sparse arrangements of downtuned guitars and hermetic piano chords—occasionally punctured by trudging percussion or thorny distortion—as an abandoned landscape to wander, offering meditations on trauma, death, and destruction. Her songs have often been full of the downcast thoughts you can let yourself become consumed by when you spend too long inside your own head, something that Rundle admits she’s naturally predisposed to doing. “There was a period where… I…

Krallice, as a rule, do not look back. The prolific New York quartet has long been identified with the experimental black metal movement—that is, black metal carried out as a series of experiments, yielding a rich body of empirical evidence that’s been folded into their ever-evolving sound. Lev Weinstein has drummed on each of the band’s albums since 2008’s introductory Krallice, but that’s been their only true constant. Mick Barr, Colin Marston, and Nicholas McMaster have all switched instruments and traded off on vocal and songwriting duties. Dave Edwardson from Neurosis was welcomed into the fold for a few albums.…

You could draw a map of the pseudo-Los Angeles pulsing through Age of the Exhibitionist. Begin in Anaheim, the sunburnt suburb and birthplace of pop artist Rebecca Black. Take the freeway to the laundromat that’s actually an underground queer club; hit the dancefloor where you can watch “your best friend go French with Miss Black.” Hell, there’s even a mansion, maybe tucked away somewhere in the Hills. Black’s second album, created with producers including Nightfeelings (Kim Petras’ Detour), Oscar Scheller (Kelela, PinkPantheress), and atlgrandma (ADÉLA, The Hellp), is full of these secret pleasure dens. It’s a giddy electro-pop concoction with…
