There’s an Onion joke from the ’90s that still makes me chuckle when I think of the headline: “National Funk Congress Deadlocked on Get Up/Get Down Issue,” in which Majority Leader James Brown and Minority Leader Bootsy Collins try to settle it once and for all. Back then, West Coast rap was rearing G-funk andRead More
The music in Marty Supreme is a central character, one as freewheeling, in-your-face, and impossible to resist as Marty himself. Though the ’80s and its attendant commercialism and sci-fi cheese have always been of particular fascination to Lopatin, his previous Froese-flavored scores only reflected the surface shades of his craft. Where his work as OneohtrixRead More
These characters frequently seek transcendence, whether through romance (the tender acoustic ballad “Away You Stride”) or music itself (“Little Left Hope” includes a proposal to start a band). If they don’t feel doomed from the start, they give up altogether: On “Pale Song,” the narrator believes their life could be written on “stone with aRead More
Internet pop artist Cece Natalie has made blingy 2000s-inspired bedroom pop and hypnotic R&B infusions. Her latest track, “Not even lying,” is a moody swirl of downtempo piano and whining synth. Its mesmeric hook describes the unsettling feeling of anticipating a betrayal that never comes: “You were supposed to turn evil, but you never did/YouRead More
After giving us the image of Bruce excitedly flipping through microfiche articles about Starkweather at the library, the film settles in as White patiently begins to put the song “Nebraska” together. Much is made throughout the movie about the pitch-black nature of the songs Springsteen was recording; at one point, Landau—who went from writing aboutRead More
As usual with the artist known (for now) as irini, the music works neatly within its genre conventions, but, in its best moments, is imbued with a level of songcraft that’s rare in dance music. irini makes groovy club tracks DJs will want to get their hands on. He also, like the best traditional songwriters,Read More
In 2010, Taylor Swift wrote the jaunty diss track “Mean,” about, strangely enough, Bob Lefsetz, a longtime music industry pundit who had viciously panned her performance at the 2010 Grammy Awards. For his part, Lefsetz initially hemmed and hawed over the narrative, but eventually came to embrace it. “Mean” does not stand amongst the bestRead More
There’s a right way to love Tems, and it starts with sacrifice. On Love Is a Kingdom, she says “mine” (as in, “You’re mine”) a total of 69 times—70 if you count the one-off “you not mine.” Most of these instances—57, to be precise—reside in track “Mine,” but its reiterations reveal the kind of amorRead More
It wasn’t long ago that Lolina was a lone, menacing magpie circling the perimeter of the experimental pop world. These days you don’t have to look far to find artists channeling disaffected swag through broken laptop loops and chintzy keyboard presets, but “gg” is a reminder of who set the template. With one smoggy sample,Read More
Sometimes, you just need a best friend to grab you by the shoulders and remind you that the boy you’re crying over can’t even fry an egg. Eli, a 25-year-old singer-songwriter who traces her inspiration to American Idol, is that best friend distilled in a pop bonbon: Her new single “Glitter” is as breezy andRead More
