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…

Beck rose to fame in the early 1990s as an absurdist poet who mashed together blues, folk, and hip-hop while getting crazy with the Cheez Whiz. For most of his career, that was the default Beck, the real Beck. But is that right? According to the forthcoming book The Last Temptation of Beck, he used to crash stages between sets, usually when one band was breaking down and the other was plugging in, and he’d play a few songs on acoustic guitar and harmonica for a captive audience. Some of those songs were straight-faced covers of blues standards and some…

Patrick Clancy is finally breaking his silence. The 38-year-old is the former husband of Lindsay Clancy, a Duxbury, Massachusetts nurse at the center of a national trial and debate over postpartum mental health. In 2023, Lindsay allegedly asked Patrick to leave the home to pick up takeout for dinner and medication from a local pharmacy. While he was gone, she is accused of taking her three children — Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan — down to the basement in their family home and using exercise bands to strangle them. Clancy then jumped from a second-story window, leaving her…

Billy Bragg has doubled down on his criticism of Ed Sheeran following Macklemore being dropped from the ‘Loop’ tour due to his pro-Palestine comments. Bragg had previously said that Sheeran risked “tarnishing” his career and becoming “a pariah” over the controversy, arguing that the singer should “swallow [his] pride” and cancel the tour rather than allow venue owners to dictate what artists could say from the stage. Now, in an Instagram post shared ahead of Sheeran’s show at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field last night (September 19), Bragg said he was “not impressed” by the singer’s response to the mounting criticism. “I’m not impressed…
