Celebrate our tenth anniversary with the biggest issue we’ve ever made. FLOOD 13 is deluxe, 252-page commemorative edition—a collectible, coffee-table-style volume in a 12″ x 12″ format—packed with dynamic graphic design, stunning photography and artwork, and dozens of amazing artists representing the past, present, and future of FLOOD’s editorial spectrum, while also looking back at key moments and events in our history. Inside, you’ll find in-depth cover stories on Gorillaz and Magdalena Bay, plus interviews with Mac DeMarco, Lord Huron, Wolf Alice, Norman Reedus, The Zombies, Nation of Language, Bootsy Collins, Fred Armisen, Jazz Is Dead, Automatic, Rocket, and many more.
Holy Fuck, Event Beat
The Canadian band’s sixth collection of percussion-driven, electronically augmented art-rock walks a fascinating tightrope between hard-hitting noise and grooving synth-funk.
Dälek, Brilliance of a Falling Moon
Just as the industrial hip-hop stalwarts have never been tourists within the genre, Will Brooks’ lyrical focus on class war and normalized tragedy remains steadfast on the project’s tenth LP.
Digital Underground, Sex Packets [35th Anniversary Edition]
This double LP celebrates the adventurous 1990 debut from the freaks of the industry by offering rare remixes and other unreleased tracks from the era packaged with a 3D gatefold.
