The question of “Why not?” came up a lot while creating this issue—like when a 2 a.m. set from The Men left a self-titled photographer with a cracked camera and the rest of us thinking we should really thank the band with a cover story. Or the moment we realized a second cover might be necessary, despite the fact that Azealia Banks had yet to released a proper record. (Sure enough, Banks is now working with Paul Epworth, the producer responsible for Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” single and Florence + the Machine’s entire Ceremonials album.) And then two covers turned into three (or make that five, actually), after DFA dropped Factory Floor’s “Two Different Ways,” a next-step single big enough for us to send The Quietus co-founder Luke Turner to the trio’s London rehearsal space for some answers about their album on the horizon.
