The Los Angeles Issue

The Bug Club, Very Human Features
Another collection of relentlessly charming and eccentric garage rock, this fifth album doubles down on the Welsh band’s signature stylized-raw production and unusual lyrics.

Activity, A Thousand Years in Another Way
The third LP from the pigeonhole-proof Brooklyn collective proves just how far they can stretch the boundaries of indie rock with this radically diverse set of songs.

Ben Kweller, Cover the Mirrors

Meshing elements of rap, rock, and R&B, the duo of Louie Pastel and Felix discuss their unlikely come-up over the past year.

Camae Ayewa discusses working with artistic limitations, the relationship between poetry and music, and the direction she took with her latest solo LP.

The brains behind recent videos from Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist, MAVI, and Lil Uzi Vert discusses his DIY style and evolution as an artist.

The London-based artist plays with percussive beats with a confidence that enables her to weave seemingly unrelated textures into the same pattern.

The producer’s newest LP is a preservation of blissful, temporary moments that escape once you open your eyes and exhale.

From the EP’s get-go, it’s clear the trio is unafraid to continuously push creative boundaries.
