Keeley Forsyth's favourite songs | Interview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 25 years since Björk’s historic Vespertine show at London’s Royal Opera House, the Covent Garden institution has become gradually more open to contemporary artists performing their own work on its stages. Elton John, Pet Shop Boys, and Rufus Wainwright have all graced the spectacular main theatre, white and gold with crimson seats and a deep blue oculus that mimics the night sky. Below ground meanwhile, in the ROH’s Linbury Theatre, things have been allowed to get a bit more edgy and odd,
Ypsigrock thrives on the anti-algorithmic power of once | Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alan Pedder visits Ypsigrock to find out how a small Sicilian town continues to rewrite the summer festival playbook after almost 30 years. How did a small inland mountain town with no record store become a Sicilian music mecca, drawing fans from everywhere to party in its piazzas? Like many a good story, it started with a dream. Okay, not a literal dream, this isn’t Fellini’s 8½, but in the interests of painting a picture, think of the late ‘90s, two grunge kids, and a burning thirst for music
Agnes Obel: “I got a sense of something very big, something miraculous” | Interview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Myth, philosophy, and raw, primal power combine on Agnes Obel's new album The Meaning of Flowers exploring the universality of human existence, as told to Alan Pedder. It’s kind of wild just how much we take for granted on this magical blue marble we call Earth, moving through our lives with blinkers on until suddenly they fall or are wrested away. The world has a funny way of rearranging us in those moments, and all that we relied upon before for context and guardrails is left to feel inadequat
"Ladies who longform": Emma-Lee Moss and Kathryn Williams get bookish | Interview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To mark the release of her memoir My Cantopop Nights, Emma-Lee Moss dives into the brave, new, and slightly muddled world of being an author-musician with Kathryn Williams. Books may be the main draw for literary festivals like Hay-on-Wye, but what's written is often just a jumping off point for chats that wander way beyond the page and into other creative domains, sizing up their shared foundations as well as their distinctions. It’s at this inquisitive crossroads that Emma-Lee Moss and Kathryn
Ali Sethi & Gregory Rogove: "Longing is a pathway to transcendence. So is exile." | Interview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Room Jhoom, Ali Sethi and Gregory Rogove draw on centuries of South Asian tradition to explore how longing can become a source of transformation, writes Alan Pedder. The English language has no exact equivalent for room-jhoom, an expression found in Hindi and Urdu that describes the gentle pitter-patter of softly falling rain or the sweet, rhythmic tinkling of a dancer’s strap of ankle bells. It’s less of a word than a signal of longing, or anticipation even, holding its own weight of meaning
