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.
Kathryn Mohr, Carve
A product of the desolate environment in which it was made, the Bay Area experimentalist’s second album pairs bare-bones grunge with evocative field recordings.
Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds, Mutiny After Midnight
Capturing the perpetual boogie that makes his live show so impressive, Sturgill Simpson’s latest LP throws the throttle down, turns the choogle up, and stares the cold world dead in the eyes.
The Monochrome Set, Lotus Bridge
Poised, exotic, and engaging from start to finish, the English jangle-pop outfit’s unexpected delight of a 17th studio album is a magical soundtrack for this uncertain spring.
