Nick Hakim is out looking for himself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, Nick Hakim has been trying to run away from himself. “Every record I’ve made feels necessary, like an escape, or a purge of…” he begins, then trails off. I peer at him through the tiny Zoom window into his New York apartment. He peers back. “Yeah,” he tries again. “I think there’s a lot that…” Another trailing off. It’s not that Hakim is inarticulate. On the contrary, he’s remarkably thoughtful in his speech, almost to a detriment: he’s constantly doubling back on himself, pursuing on
Review: Haruomi Hosono, 'Yours Sincerely' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Haruomi Hosono’s first album in seven years is something of a balancing act. “I feel a growing curiosity toward the unknown music that my new self will create, while also embracing the music of my former self—as if I now carry two musical worlds within me,” he said. This is remarkable when you consider just how vast the musical world of his former self is. Hosono towers over pop music as an artist who was both one of its chief architects and particularly invested in seeing how he could knock it
Review: Asher White, 'Love Aggregates' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I can recite only one love poem from memory. It’s four lines long and has no title, which is probably why I can remember it. But every so often, like the very best poetry, and the very best writing, it will come into my mind unprompted, spilling forth from the recesses of my brain: “That Love is all there is / Is all we know of Love / It is enough, the freight should be / Proportioned to the groove.” As Dickinson poems go, this one is simple, but it cuts to the quick. Each line has its own weigh
Watch Expandards’ Paste Session at Solid Sound (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Originally born of Mikael Jorgensen and Isaac Koren reimagining parts of the Great American Songbook—that is, “expanding standards”—the pair’s music quickly grew into a broader, less classifiable sound, filled with left-field chord sequences and loose, improvisational sounds that meander intelligently along melodic lines and rhythms. The pair—playing with support from their band—played three songs from their upcoming record, Even Still, as well as a cover of Thelonious Monk’s jazz standard “‘Rou
Review: Saul Williams, 'Leap Life' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Saul Williams only has a birthday every four years. I don’t profess to care much about determinism (or astrology), but this fact feels astonishingly fitting for Williams, a known maverick of the music industry interested in neither genre nor other musical conventions. One imagines him playing hide and seek with his own date of birth, letting it wink out of existence for a few years of a time before pouncing on it when it does appear. The transient, fundamentally unstable nature of time and all o
