Read Our New Issue, Featuring Dum Dum Girls, DJ Shadow, HTRK, M83, The Drums and More
Photo by Bryan Sheffield After much deliberation over key details like our new ‘reviews section’ (a list-centric antidote to star ratings and self-indulgent rock critics) and what brands to include in Ryan Kattner’s (see also: Man Man, Mister Heavenly) bourbon guide, we’ve finally released the thirteenth issue of self-titled.

The strangest thing about Portishead‘s first proper New York set in forever–nearly 15 years if you can believe it–wasn’t when an otherwise stoic Beth Gibbons lunged at the crowd and high-fived fans. We’ll get to that in a second; what really caught us off guard was how loud the trio can be live. Having only […]
DOWNLOAD THIS NOW: David Lynch, “Crazy Clown Time”
As if his “dance single” wasn’t confusing enough, David Lynch has now shared the title track of his debut album, Crazy Clown Time (PIAS, November 8th). And guess what?
