    Bullion: Nearly (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Nathan Jenkins speaks about songwriting with the arcane detachment of a mage, often describing the process in passive voice. Lyrics “materialize in the shape of melodies”; he’s “not very present” for the process in general. Jenkins has expressed admiration for the way Arthur Russell creates distance between himself and a song, “[wearing] them so lightly,” then folding them up before they’ve run ragged. After finishing 2024’s Affection, the London producer’s most pop-centric record under the Bull

    Dinosaur Jr.: There Near (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    synecdoche new york’s 2024 self-titled debut was meant to be a one-off upload, quickly recorded as a low-stakes riff on the work of then-ascendant slowcore revivalists like sign crushes motorist and flyingfish. The Chicago act’s sole, anonymous member didn’t consider it a fully fledged project until they checked Spotify a year later and discovered that their song “when you call” had its play count inflated overnight after it landed on the same slowcore playlists they’d been drawing from in half-
