    Beabadoobee: Pylon (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last year, the fashion writer Biz Sherbert went to a Deftones concert in Atlanta and interviewed attendees before the show. The 2020s revitalization of the alt-metal pioneers is pretty well established at this point, but Sherbert’s documentation showed off the band’s popularity with young women specifically; she photographed teenagers and college students in miniskirts and tank tops, many of whom had discovered Deftones algorithmically, through Spotify or TikTok. The scene looked a lot different

A few years older and more conscientious of the feelings of the people she wrote about, she described the new record as “a little bit less diaristic, and mildly more existential.” Existential is right, but “mildly” is putting it, well, mildly: By the end of the album, you will hear many different attempts to explain how it feels to be Gracie Abrams, or at least to
