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/ 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.
Interview w/ Big Bloom
Singer Katie Howard’s carbonated stage presence is a cocktail of roaring vocals, fervid teeth flashing, and neon warpaint.
Interview w/ Glenn Heath Jr.
Glenn Heath Jr. of San Diego CityBeat is a great friend, author, and inspiration – if you haven’t read his amazing take on Jonathan Glazer, you’re missing out on some of the best writing, period. In wanting to dig a little deeper, I interviewed the movie critic about film festivals, local culture, and the importance of three particular pictures.
Interview w/ @pale_teen
Twitter slayer, fashion sharpshooter, and cosmetologist icon pale_teen goes by many code names, including “a wandering ghost” and, most esoterically, “Laura”. She is known for her social observations, astute quips, and endlessly cool color palette.
