Hello lovely subscribers. It's a Sunday evening so I'll keep this short and sweet. For the past couple of months I've been loving curating and laying out our end-of-year coverage for 2024. We've never really cared about getting in early in terms
I first got into Destroyer via Kaputt, an all-time Top 20 album for me, and one so arrestingly brilliant it took me a while to venture away from. Perhaps it was the apparent slight mis-step in its long-awaited follow-up, 2015's Poison, but Dan Bejar has since made amends
It seems like just yesterday we had Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner on the cover of Issue 8 of our printed publication. It wasn't, of course. It was, in fact, some (and somehow) almost four years ago, the only silver lining of such swift passing of time

Though he arrives with a new name, Fran O'Hanlon may well sound familiar to those who knew him via his previous project, Ajimal. An considered extension of all that came before, Mezanmi released a brand new album just a couple of weeks ago and it's full
I was lucky to travel to a few different countries this year, and on each trip I got lost, headphones in and far from home, in Beirut's album from last year - having not listened to Zach Condon's project for a good few years. Hadsel, a
Chances are, if you reference a tree in your song title then you'll have my unadorned attention before I've heard a single note. That being said, I was already deep in the world of Emily Hines by the time 'Cedar On The River' tenderly
It's been a full 15 years since Local Natives emerged with their colourful, impassioned breed of indie rock, their 2009 debut album Gorilla Manor still one of the most cherished LPs from that fruitful period of time. Still going strong all these years on, the band have remained
