Sinéad O’Connor knew what happened when she opened her mouth. “Songs are ghosts,” she wrote in her 2021 memoir, Rememberings, and to sing was to transform herself into a “ghost delivery woman.” O’Connor maintained a wry sense of humor about the wreckage these spirits could cause: After tracking the demo to “Troy” at record producerRead More
Counter to Nolan’s usual ostentatiousness, the simultaneous threads of Odysseus’ return to Ithaca and the crises he faced in the decade that followed the Trojan War are cut together without ceremony. Yet there’s a powerful synergistic effect: At certain times, you can feel the recollections straining toward unreliability, but never quite getting there—the non-Laestrygonians, Menelaus’Read More
A ? of WHEN was inevitable. Reset, the 2022 album by longtime collaborators Panda Bear and Sonic Boom, was a joyful collection that felt like exactly what it was: the work of two wildly talented best bros riffing off one another’s strongest ideas. Enthusiasm was its defining characteristic: There’s Noah Lennox and Pete Kember’s mutualRead More
Once the label cut ties, it was over for Mista: destined to be one of those one-hit wonder troupes that get eulogized in the YouTube comments section. Bobby dipped back home to Atlanta to play baseball and enroll at Clark Atlanta University, laying down vocals in the studio at night. Years later, because Atlanta isRead More
Late last fall, word suddenly got out about SML, Los Angeles’ latest torchbearers of slanted jazz. Following a snazzy New York Times profile and a second album that teased their squiggly sound out to delightful new levels, the quintet had two dates set at Frogtown scenester mainstay Zebulon, with each night comprising two sets inRead More
Think of the patience it requires to play in Horse Lords. You’ve trained your fingers and ears to the surgical fine point wherein you can play your instrument, cleanly and unerringly, against two or three conflicting meters. And then you bring this talent to bear on a piece like “Playing and Reality,” from their latestRead More
For me, Regina’s joyous, defiant burble is the idea at the heart of the song: that there is a kind of bliss in surrendering to life’s flow that lies beyond any human attempt at defining its meaning. Listening to it recently, I was reminded of “Meditation at Lagunitas,” a 1979 Robert Hass poem in whichRead More
Stewart Adamson looked uncomfortable. It wasn’t that he had never appeared in a music video before. As a lanky 20-something, Adamson had previously jutted around with the Scottish punks who made up his early band, Skids, in the clip for “Into the Valley,” which climbed to No. 10 on UK charts. But in the footageRead More
The Jamaican patois is back on the Popcaan dancehall cut “Amazing Shape,” and while they’ve made better songs together before, the groove is smooth and he’s got just the right amount of dick puns: “You could make a dead man rise,” Drake sings, a little flat but still catchy. He found a new muse viaRead More
In that short time, however, he left us with one song that recast his lifelong struggles into a breathtaking, triumphant epic. “I’m No Stranger to the Rain,” the last single he released just months before his death, encapsulates Whitley’s abilities as an artist, rising above the tragedy surrounding it to find a deeper strength. ItRead More
