Interview w/ Aesop Rock
Aesop Rock’s emotional compass has always paired, deftly, with his impressive command of the English language. There’s humility, exploratory self-awareness, and shocks of humor in the artist’s oeuvre.
Interview w/ Peach Kelli Pop
Peach Kelli Pop’s unshakable popgun of harmonization represents the wave frosted shores and sun-flecked palm trees of Los Angeles.
Interview w/ Freezepop
Freezepop’s electronic topography is otherworldly. The band’s polychromatic aesthetic is richly galactic, but it is their vibrant catalog of extraterrestrial songs that makes the sweet ensemble from the human city of “Boston” one of our favorites at the office.
Interview w/ The Traditional
With their latest record, How To Live Without Blood, The Traditional – Anthony Musior, Michael Bienias, Jon Coric – create a mosaic of geography, regret, sincerity, and resilience.
Interview w/ Anya Battaglino
In the inaugural season of the National Women’s Hockey League, the Connecticut Whale showed tactical precision, uncompromising grit, and an inimitable style.
Interview w/ Mommy Long Legs
Seattle’s gnarly, rad, and deliciously barf-core Mommy Long Legs is one the best – and coolest – bands around.
Interview w/ June Owatari
June Owatari’s Grrl on Grrl Podcast is a complete revelation. Informative, funny, and unarguably rad, the interview show features women and nonbinary musicians in an exquisitely produced format
Interview w/ Hexa
The sepia-toned distortion behind Hexa’s electronic phantasmagoria is something both comforting and disquieting. Carrie Gillespie Feller’s voice conjures a brume of perforated memories. The hushed echoes, disembodied vocals, and reveries of reverb create a strange and pastoral landscape.
Interview w/ Richard Lawson
Objectively speaking, Richard Lawson is the best person on Twitter – observe my empirically correct cold open to this interview. My fondness of the aforementioned Vanity Fair columnist’s work is shared by many: Billy Eichner, Laura Dern, and Zoe Kazan – Zoe Kazan, I said – all follow Richard on social media.
Interview w/ Kane Strang
The gossamer baying of Kane Strang is spectral, buoyant, and commanding. Perforating a reverie of fog and self-referential exploration, the New Zealand artist’s debut album, Blue Cheese, is one of the best records of the young year.
