“Patience comes to the bones before it takes root in the heart," Mary Oliver writes in her poem Patience: A poem for late summer. And it was those words that stirred something deep within Kristin Daelyn, deep enough to not only be reshaped into a new song, but to
There's something quite apt about brand new music from Florist arriving today, on the greyest, wettest day I've found outside my window of 2025 so far. Thus far, Florist's music has almost unanimously belonged to the Spring and Summer, warm gentle days where the
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

Anna B Savage is a big fan, it seems, of early-year album releases. Her debut album, A Common Turn, was released in January of 2021, its follow-up arrived in February of 2023, and she continues the pattern with You and i are Earth, the forthcoming ten-song set which will greet
We've shouted about Miya Follick for a number of years, always expecting the LA-based artist to fully breakthrough to the mainstream. Unusual, unique, and always teeming with star quality, Follick has made good on the promise shown on 2015's debut release and looks set to reach
So much of the music that Hamilton Leithauser has released via his band, The Walkmen, tends to come alive, or find a greater sense of spirit at this time of the year. Shuffling through city streets, fists stuffed in pockets, the wind ripping through your bones. Apt, then, that Leithauser
There's so much to the incredible, incredibly sprawling new TRA И Ƨ A compilation that we'll leave it to the organisation who pieced it together to tell the full story: Storied activist and music production non-profit Red Hot presents its latest project, TRAИƧA out November 22nd.
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
