Review: How to Be a Rock Critic

All Lester Bangs wants to do is listen to his favorite record: Van Morrison’s 1968 masterpiece, Astral Weeks. If only he could find his copy. It’s got to be around here somewhere, beneath the splayed magazines, take-out containers, and just a few thousand other LPs. Such is the inciting dilemma of...

Artist Interview: Monograms Discuss New 'Silencer' EP

A Female-Fronted Future: Thoughts on SXSW 2017

Snail Mail at SXSW 2017.

Roland Tings "Each Moment a Diamond"

True to its title, Roland Tings' newest collection is sparkly and shined to perfection. To create this album, the Berlin-based, Melbourne-native producer worked through an obsessive routine where he repeated the same simple actions every day, like the route he took the studio or what he ate for...

How EDM Helped Me Heal From Anxiety

It's June 2016 and I'm testing how low I can get before breaking down. I've worked until midnight and gotten up at four to churn out more writing assignments. Seeking comfort from the stress, I reach for the chips in my cupboard, eat more than I intended, panic, and make myself throw up. Unable to...
