Bright Eyes at the âKids Tableâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The three musicians who make up the creative core of Bright EyesâConor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nate Walcottâhave taken many breaks from the collective to work on other projects. âThose things are nice palate cleansers,â Walcott said, perhaps with a touch of irony, during a recent phone interview. âThey allow us to come back to Bright Eyes with clearer minds.â Last year, that clarity resulted inâ¯Kids Table, an eight-song EP that follows closely upon the 2024 LPâ¯Five Dice, All Thr
Hotel Usona, by Protomartyr (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The central concept of Hotel Usonaâthe United States of America as a hotelâreveals itself with more subtlety than did the central theme of Hotel California. Then again, a post-punk Detroit band like Protomartyr should and does have more real-world perspective within its seventh LP than the Eagles did on their fifth. The âpost-â part of post-punk contributes to that perspective: while the Stooges or the White Stripes might have smashed the hotelâs windows and wiped blood from the bre

My own process of making music had become unconsciously self-aware. I needed to have some distance.â She performs 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12 at Viva
Who Loves the Sun, by Chat Pile (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A broken bottle lying in patchy grass. A long-dormant factory surrounded by the cracked remains of an asphalt parking lot. The charred skeleton of a family sedan crumpled under other junkyard detritus. These things can be beautiful. With noise-rock aggression, Chat Pile etches several such tableaux of global, social and personal decay across its third long-player, Who Loves the Sun. Inside the aggression, though, the Oklahoma City quartet expresses despair, resignation and tenderness. At first,
