È stato un piccolo caso editoriale quando è uscito, Mood Machine di Liz Pelly: uno di quei rari casi di libro ad argomento musicale, anzi, ad argomento industria musicale capace di entrare nelle conversazioni degli appassionati qui in Italia prima ancora di venire tradotto. Ora EDT ha colmato questa mancanza: il documentato e appassionatissimo lavoro di Liz Pelly è disponibile anche nella nostra lingua, nel nostro mercato. Ed è un gran bene, visto che gli argomenti affrontati in quasi 400 pagine – che scorrono via molto bene – hanno una portata decisamente globale, esattamente come globale è il meccanismo industriale…
“A song can be alternative without being like Joan Jett's 'I love rock 'n' roll,'” he says. Daniel D`Amico for SANREMO.FM
Zoh Amba spent their Kingsport, Tennessee adolescence diving into YouTube, immersing themselves in videos of jazz saxophonists like Albert Ayler and Charlie Parker. Taking up saxophone themself, they developed a skronking, wildly intense style as if trying to transcend the constraints of their instrument. After dropping out of a conservatory, they became a fixture in the New York City jazz scene, playing with peers like Wendy Eisenberg at John Zorn’s experimental music venue the Stone. “I love straight-ahead [music], but unfortunately, it’s just not the song in my heart,” Amba once told The New York Times.As they return to their…
The first thing you hear on Vanessa Rossetto’s The Professional is something you’ve probably never heard before: a Tin Pan Alley–style ditty about making experimental music. The lyrics, written by Michael Garin, are replete with references to “teacups in Riga” and “recording cabbage in a baggage carousel.” Sung by Mardie Millet with the vaudevillian verve of Ethel Merman bellowing an ode to the glittering lights of Broadway, it’s a wryly humorous take on the often humorless world of experimental music—and on the complicated position of being a musician whose work is unrecognizable to most people as music.Vanessa Rossetto has built…
For 30 years now, Of Montreal has functioned less as a band and more as a vehicle for exploring Kevin Barnes’ emotional whims. Between shifting lineups, a problematic alter ego, and plenty of glam makeup, they have tried out stripped-down twee, the funk heights of Prince, festival-ready synth-pop, and EDM sirens. Barnes chronicled the impasses in their first marriage across multiple albums: 2007’s high-water-mark Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? took a kaleidoscopic approach to an early separation, while 2015’s somber Aureate Gloom arrived after the couple’s permanent split. No matter what style Barnes is toying with, their antenna perks…
Il prossimo tour solista di Roger Daltrey prevede più date di quelle che gli Who hanno fatto negli Stati Uniti nel giro di concerti d’addio. È difficile che il cantante, che ha 82 anni, decida di farne altre, ma se non altro, come spiega al telefono, andare in tour da solista è più semplice che farlo con gli Who. La parola che usa per descrivere le tournée della band è «massacranti», ma dal modo in cui lo dice si capisce che vorrebbe continuare a esibirsi in un modo o nell’altro. «Sulle spalle degli Who pesa un’eredità enorme. È un lavoro…
Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts haven't made a live appearance since the Painted Turtle benefit in October 2025 and canceled plans for a European tour this summer. Now, the band is set to make their return to the concert stage on Sept. 26 when Farm Aid comes to the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach. Young shares the bill with his fellow Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, Margo Price, and Nathaniel Rateliff. The roster also includes Turnpike Troubadours, Lukas Nelson, Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs, Jesse Welles, Sierra Ferrell, Mon Rovîa,…
In an interview early last year, rising Atlanta rapper Tezzus made a prediction about the music industry that sounds more perceptive as time goes on. “It’s gon’ be no such thing as ‘mainstream’ [or ‘underground’], especially with the internet,” he told Overlooked. “It’s just music. All the platforms gon’ clash.” This idea’s been stewing in my brain ever since. No one has to compete for airplay or video placements or even Billboard slots anymore to get exposure; the online algorithm is both a free-for-all and the end-all-be-all. That reality is what makes regionality in music so compelling nowadays. There are…
The star performed “Bodega Baddie” and “Bodak Yellow” during the hard-hitting set Cardi B delivered a high voltage performance for the halftime show during Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. The three-minute set kicked off as the Jumbotron's focused on a group of dancers sporting orange Knicks jersey dresses revealed the rapper to be sitting courtside. Cardi promptly took the microphone and launched into “Bodega Baddie,” a high-speed track off her recent album, Am I the Drama? As Cardi made her way to center court, the artist, who donned a slick…
