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.
Kelsey Lu, So Help Me God
On their second LP, Lu taps Jack Antonoff and Yves Rothman to co-produce a fascinating tapestry of pop, R&B, electronica, classical, folk, and everything avant-garde in between.
Genghis Tron, Signal Fire
The cacophony of ideas on display on the transhumanist metal band’s dystopian fourth album reflects the relentless, manic digi-present we find ourselves in today.
Vince Staples, Cry Baby
On his first release away from Def Jam, the emcee spends more time looking outward than inward, peering into a communal politic with more rock to his roll than ever before.
