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.
The Tubs, Hard Life
With its well-curated influences and almost uncomfortably human lyrics, the London jangle-punk quartet’s third LP finds charm and combustible energy in its intersection of bleakness and pep.
Pixies, Bossanova [2026 Remaster]
This newly manicured version of the alt-rockers’ ersatz-divisive 1990 LP is so well-executed from start to finish that it’s impossible to forget that you’re not listening to the original version.
Ezra Collective, Here Because of Hope
The UK jazz quintet are determined to heal while acknowledging pain on their soulful fourth LP of deeply jubilant, genre-bending, and compassionate odes to the enduring power of hope.
