    Anthony Gonzalez is a world-builder (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Anthony Gonzalez loves exploring The Legend of Zelda’s Kingdom of Hyrule as much as he loves constructing those kingdoms himself. Albums like 2005’s Before the Dawn Heals Us, 2008’s Saturdays = Youth, and 2011’s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming each have their own global frequencies. That throughline continues on the electronic musician’s tenth studio record, I Wrote You a Letter, the mostly instrumental follow-up to the pop-song collection on 2023’s Fantasy. When I ask Gonzalez how he would interpret t

    Review: 'The Gem' is Julia Jacklin’s divine intervention (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Julia Jacklin wrote “Get Away from Me (I Think I’ll Love You Soon)” nine years ago. Fresh off a move from Sydney to Melbourne, she viewed romance differently than she does now. Despite the song’s sweet, inviting melodies, Jacklin’s words reject love’s thrall. “I’m trying to not want you to stay / Trying to get through the day,” she sings in the outro, in perfect harmony with herself. In a recent interview with The Forty-Five, she wondered if she used to refuse love because “when I was younger, I

    Romance is ineffable on “I’m the Man Who Loves You” (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Paste will be publishing essays about Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Love is among the most common, universal experiences you can have as a human being.

    Review: Bereavement is a bonding agent on Gilla Band’s 'Pugnello' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    “I should be more SAAAAD!” Dara Kiely repeatedly howls at the end of “Jacobsons,” the centerpiece of Gilla Band’s fourth album, Pugnello. In a recent interview with Pitchfork, Kiely reflected on grief’s unpredictability and how it “hits everyone so uniquely and differently,” specifically speaking of his estranged father’s death in late 2022. When his dad was still alive, Kiely had merely been an honorary member of what bassist Daniel Fox and guitarist Alan Duggan Borges call the “Fatherless Fuck

    Orville Peck drops the mask on Mule (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    “Fair is foul, and foul is fair / Hover through the fog and filthy air,” chant the Three Witches at the end of Macbeth’s first scene. Like any dutiful Greek chorus, these Shakespearean Fates prophesy the tragedy to come, where betrayal, violence, paranoia, and tyranny run amok. Orville Peck begins his new album, Mule, with a similar narrative device. Emmylou Harris, Allison Russell, and Noah Cyrus—whom Peck told Rolling Stone were “the three witches of Macbeth of my country music story”—set the
