Slow Pulp: Melodie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A whole relationship arc is waiting to unfurl in the first lines of Slow Pulp’s third album, Melodie: “Do you know when you saw me/In a crowd, dancing?” vocalist Emily Massey asks. Over the breezy acoustic strums of “Yellow and Green,” she offers small details into that fateful encounter, one that even her teenaged self intuited would change the course of her life for the best. It’s expected that friendships evolve as life does, but it would take a lot more than passing time to erode a bond so m
Jawdropped: Secret to Spare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Jawdropped tell it, Los Angeles isn’t such a bad home for aspiring musicians. Practice spaces are generally easy to come by. Transporting gear to the gig is no problem—you’re already used to sitting in your car all the time. For every DIY venue that shutters, there’s a new one ready to pop in another neighborhood just a touch less gentrified. And most importantly, cutting your teeth in such a sprawling creative hotbed means there’s a good chance of crossing paths with likeminded people who ea
Hovvdy: Big World (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Charlie Martin and Will Taylor know that it’s never too late to start over. As the core members of Hovvdy—the slowcore duo they founded in 2014 that’s since evolved into a powerhouse of laid-back indie pop—the Texas natives have explored the intricacies of reaching major life milestones, feeling like a deadbeat, and those odd moments when the two intersect. That mentality led to 2024’s self-titled double album, a record Martin describes as “generous,” not only in its epic duration but also in th
IAN SWEET: Shiverstruck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jilian Medford’s output as Ian Sweet has followed something of a long conceptual arc. When she first began releasing music as a Berklee student over a decade ago, Medford earned a reputation for “sad girl” anthems built around dreamy, guitar-forward pop. Things took a turn on her best and most daring album, 2021’s Show Me How You Disappear; when Medford sang, “I’ve been waiting to tell you what it’s like to be alive,” it was a testament to the long road she took to finally flourish. The ensuing
Smirk: Speculative Fiction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Plenty of people turn to punk seeking an escape; Nick Vicario needed distance from the thing itself. As a player in West Coast bands like Crisis Man, Cower, and Public Eye, the Oregon-born musician has spent most of his life abiding by hardcore ethos both onstage and off, for better or for worse. When he relocated to Los Angeles and launched his mostly-solo project Smirk with 2021’s scuzzy, lo-fi LP, he was indulging in the reckless, destructive behaviors that tend to be more alluring in song th
