Read excerpt
Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Jellyfish, Imperial Drag, Beck, etc) is back with his first new solo album since 2023 and we talk all about it! "Hopium" is out now via Omnivore Recordings, and we get into the story behind the album title, what “hope as a drug” means to Roger, and how he knows when it’s finally time to put aside all the other projects he’s working on and make some room for his own music.

Bonner also shares how an incredible bird migration helped her push through self-doubt, why she often finds inspiration in the nearly 1700 custom songs she’s written for other peop
