Alabaster DePlume, A Blade Because a Blade Is Whole

Informed by the dualities of harm and healing, the English saxophonist and poet weaves a tapestry of sounds—spiritual jazz, folk, classical, and beyond—into a potent missive of grace.

Neil Young, Oceanside Countryside

Originally recorded in 1977 between Florida and Malibu, this resurfaced bootleg collection is a pleasant and easygoing afternoon listen, though not entirely essential for casual fans.

Rufus Wainwright, Dream Requiem

Written in dedication to the smoldering spirits of Verdi and Puccini and the bleak words of Byron, the songwriter’s Requiem-Mass dirge doomily portrays death’s gutting solitude.

Not unlike the music of James Blake, Outside Lands has blossomed into a multi-faceted event—teeming with arena riffs, SoundCloud beats, and furikake waffle fries—from the promising kernel of emotional indie rock it was forever ago in 2008.

Along with weed, women and artists of color jolted new life into the festival, including but certainly not limited to its fiery headliners, The Weeknd, Florence + the Machine, and Janet Jackson. Revisit the electrifying experience of a few of these artists’ sets in the extremely live photos below.
