Clark Shares a String-Laced
Folk Song From His
Playground In A Lake LP
Photo EVA VERMANDEL As impossible to pin down as Clark has been over the past 20 years, he’s never made an album quite like Playground In A Lake. Due out through the classical imprint Deutsche Grammophon on March 26th, it’s a stone-cold stunner featuring mood-altering melodies and a stacked cast of guest musicians, including a […]
Frederik Valentin Makes
Us a Mixtape of Danish
Psych, Prog, and Folk
As promised earlier this month, Frederik Valentin has cut a crucial mix for our Needle Exchange series. Building upon the bold, deeply personal direction of his two recent Posh Isolation EPs (0011000, 0011001) it’s a mind-expanding set of Danish psych, prog, and folk from the ’60s and ’70s — the kind of thing you’d expect […]
Myd’s Top 9
French Touch Tracks
That Aren’t Daft Punk
Photography ALICE MOITIÉ Now that NPR’s shared the definitive tribute to Daft Punk, we’d like to shift the conversation to more important matters: remembering the seminal French Touch singles lurking just beyond Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter’s larger-than-life universe.

Tomaga Share Latest Single
From Their Final Album
Photo HANNAH CARVALHO As #BandcampFriday kicks into high gear once again, we’d like to point out one worthwhile pre-order.

Dylan Henner’s
Rough Guide
To Terry Riley
Words DYLAN HENNER I was lucky to have a musically supportive childhood. My mum has sung in choirs for my whole life, and even when I was very young showed me music by Steve Reich and Philip Glass. I came to know Terry Riley’s music in real detail when I took music classes in school. […]
Allie Crow Buckley
Makes Us a Mixtape
Of Celestial Jams
Photography NASTASSIA BRÜCKIN As Allie Crow Buckley gets set to drop her dream weaver debut (Moonlit and Devious) this Friday, we thought we’d ask the singer-songwriter to share a playlist that connects the dots between her classical background and love of everything from mythology to poetry. “So much of the record was inspired by my travels […]
