    Jules Reidy: Clerestory (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Canadian writer Anne Carson, whom Jules Reidy has cited as their favorite essayist, recently penned an intriguing review of a Rosalía concert. It’s a fish-out-of-water debrief from a critic skeptical of the singer’s use of spectacular “pop-song procedure” to upscale the emotions of flamenco. But her critique is not in bad faith: Carson rigorously investigates how the Catalan singer’s stage presence—as a hyper-stylized, quasi-religious vessel for ecstatic attention—commands her audience. The essa

    Faith Leazae: Faith EP (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Trying to break as an artist in 2026 requires perpetually auditioning for the vertical video algorithm, which rewards the weirdest first impression. In rap and some other genres, this has boosted a specific kind of hook, which fans now call a “vocal stim.” Borrowing its questionable name from the self-stimulatory behaviors some people do to regulate their emotions, the term refers to a short sound or phrase that’s such an earworm, in such an unexpected way, that listeners find themselves repeati

    Kade Young: “Leswerk” (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A new generation of Baltimore club producers is putting their spin on the genre’s classic combo of fast, rugged breaks, call-and-response vocals, and stuttering sample chops of whatever’s fun. Artists like SDOT, CalvoMusic, Jialing, and Kade Young have made some of my favorite dance music of the past few years, plugging their city’s raw bounce into tracks with contemporary, detailed production and creative sound selection. “Leswerk,” a highlight from Kade’s new EP Gravity, is one of

    Picture: Uuuuuuuu (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ve had a lot of fun with my friends this year trying to read Picture’s track titles aloud. Uuuuuuuu is Dane Natal Zaks’ second double-12" release for Short Span this year, and maintains the odd naming conventions from Eeeeeee in February. How do you pronounce something like “Quuuuuuu”? Some people opt for a hard, consonantal attack and let the vowel trail off at an arbitrary length; others don’t bother with the durational exercise and just clip it to one word, like “queue”; I typically spell e

    Tran Uy Duc: ByyShh (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Hanoi’s Tran Uy Duc makes noisy assemblages that involve both the far reaches of experimental sound art and the instinctive drive of pop songwriting. Tran, founder of local event series hanoi bedroom shows, is at the forefront of a scene in Vietnam where thoughtful interdisciplinary chaos is the norm, associated with eclectic acts like the collective Rắn Cạp Đuôi and singer-songwriter Vĩ. In his unpredictable music, which often soundtracks open-ended multimedia projects involving poetry, film, a
