James Blake sometimes feels like pop music’s arch, ultra-serious older brother, floating above the scene with warbly torch songs that never quite come down to earth. He’s left his ghostly prints on artists ranging from Beyoncé to Rosalía to Lil Yachty, and it’s a testament to his influence how widespread his once novel, weightless styleRead More
Throughout the 2010s, the YouTube algorithm would summon a mysterious transmission. Uploaded in 2012 by a user named “taia777,” the video featured a 15-minute loop of David Wise’s “Stickerbush Symphony” over a cascading image of thorn bushes in the sky, taken from the levels scored by the song in the 1995 Super Nintendo (SNES) gameRead More
I had been considering the nature of nostalgia when I learned that Andrew Bird was rereleasing his 2005 album The Mysterious Production of Eggs, wondering whether it was possible to be nostalgic for something lost abruptly, or if nostalgia implied a loss so slow as to be imperceptible. Eggs wasn’t my introduction to Bird—2007’s ArmchairRead More
There is no question more charged, more human, or more unanswerable than “Why?” We are surrounded and acted upon by forces we often can’t understand, and we’d all like more answers than are readily available. Even the unexpectedly good is unsettling: What’s the catch, you wonder. When will the other shoe drop? But ask “Why?”Read More
You’ll be sorely disappointed if you pick up Wuthering Heights after this. Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel is a slow read with an out-of-time atmosphere, really one of the most virginal and repressed romance stories of all time. That’s not something I picked up on myself as a child, but reading as an adult, you’re like,Read More
Adult/Child is similarly haphazard. On the box set, the disc is titled the Adult/Child Sessions in reference, perhaps, to the fact that it misses a couple of songs generally thought to belong on the lost album. “Life Is for the Living,” with its gratingly peppy lyrics and jaunty swing, would almost certainly have been betterRead More
London R&B singer Ella Mai broke out in 2018 with the sleeper hit “Boo’d Up,” which employed its chorus, mimicking a heartbeat, to channel the kind of easygoing romance that puts a skip in your step. “There Goes My Heart,” a highlight from her new album, Do You Still Love Me?, captures the more demandingRead More
An anthology stuffed with previously unreleased material can feel like an entree made of kitchen scraps, but Arthur Russell’s involvement changes matters: After all, the vast majority of his wide-ranging oeuvre has only emerged in the years since his death from AIDS in 1992, at the age of 40. It’s incredible what passed for castoffsRead More
Part Shock G’s Humpty Hump and part Skrilla’s masked horrorcore, Burger Marty is the character of an anonymous Broward County rapper who wears a clown mask and a Haitian uncle get-up (down to the fake gut and Kohl’s Cash outfit). On his ridiculous kompa send-up “Bring Custo,” he weaves in and out of English andRead More
Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore have enough in common that it’d be weird if they hadn’t worked together. Both grew up in the South and found early inspiration in spiritually rooted musical forms that they could transform with technology. For Lattimore, that meant intensive training on the harp, the instrument of gods and angels, whichRead More
