Ci sono luoghi in cui la musica smette di essere un semplice ascolto e diventa un’esperienza sensoriale totalizzante. Tolmin, in Slovenia, è uno di questi. Qui, dove il fiume Tolminka si getta nella Soča e l’acqua gelida di color smeraldo sembra uscita da un filtro fatto apposta per far sembrare tutto più bello di quanto già non sia. È lì, sulla penisola del Sotočje, dentro i confini del Parco Nazionale del Triglav, che da quindici edizioni il Punk Rock Holiday pianta le sue tende, letteralmente. Perché prima ancora di essere un festival, il PRH è un campeggio: migliaia di persone…

A Pagliacci in Pumas, erstwhile Beastie Boy Michael Diamond is hurting inside and ready to vent his truth. But how do you drop your “Sounds of Silence” when your medium is “The Sounds of Science,” a 47-year legacy of puckish punk-rap, ill communication, and party-rock anthems, a life lived as a beacon of inspiration to some of the best and worst music to ever exist?Well, as a wise man once said, “Be true to yourself and you will never fall.” You can’t say 60-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Mike D is faking the funk on Thank You, his…
Most rappers and beatmakers who manage to stick around for more than a few years, build a dedicated following, and make a healthy living off of music eventually hit a wall. They may ask themselves, “Why am I still doing this?,” searching for the fire they had in their belly when barely anyone knew their name. Music becomes business and business can become tedious. In the background of ii, the long-awaited follow-up to 2020’s Unlocked, Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats—my fault, Kenneth Blume—are reckoning with the reality of the mid-career creative plateau.“I’m not doing this just to do it, I…
How has Jim James not named an album Wowed Out already? With the classic rock fireworks and cosmic adventures of My Morning Jacket and his solo work alike, the phrase feels so apt that it could almost scan as self-parody. Yet James’ fifth solo album and first in eight years both plays into and thwarts expectations, his boundless voice suggesting it is, in fact, possible to hit capacity. Wielding an array of his wheelhouse sounds with acuity and warmth, James returns with an album whose maybe-goofy-maybe-pensive title allows him to dance between world-weariness and renewed awe, resulting in his best…

Every four years, with the reliability of a reelection campaign, Interpol emerge with a new album that sounds remarkably like Interpol. They’re not the kind of band to wade through a murky psychedelia morass for an album-length fuck-you to casual fans, à la MGMT, or douse a long-awaited comeback LP in chintzy pop textures and copious Auto-Tune, like the Strokes just did. When Interpol make a record, they’re all business, and their business is being Interpol, brooding hooks and well-pressed suits and all. They may tweak the formula—the post-punk atmospherics, the alluringly charismatic baritone belonging to Paul Banks, the cryptic…
Underscores has dropped a fresh pair of tracks: a brand new single called “Unlimited Love” and a new version of “The Peace,” remixed by Frost Children. “Unlimited Love” may not be entirely new, though; it seems to sample the guitar lick from another Underscores song, “Do It.” The accompanying single art also appears to tease something called “after-U.” A full remix album, perchance? Listen to both tracks below.“The Peace” is the second song from Underscores’ U to receive the remix treatment; at the beginning of the year, South Korean pop singer Yves hopped on a reworked version of “Do It.”…
AZ Chike and Tyler, the Creator have dropped a new song together, “Look Like My Mama,” along with its music video. The cinematic clip, directed by Stacking Memories, opens at “NRFTW High School.” There, taped across lockers that look suspiciously like the ones in Napoleon Dynamite, are flyers that read “NO REST FOR THE WICKED”—the title of AZ Chike’s forthcoming album—and the date “09.18.26.” He and Tyler then reenact iconic scenes from several other films, including Sinners and Men in Black. The grand reveal: a young kid is watching this all go down on a TV in his bedroom. You,…
