The Los Angeles Issue

L.A. Witch, DOGGOD
The tension between the bright, post-punk guitars and the darker aspects of the psyche expressed in the lyrics create something new and interesting for the LA trio’s third LP.

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Death Hilarious
The UK stoner-metal outfit’s fifth studio album is another collection of pummelling, heavy thrills, the sound of grimy darkness being warped into something transcendently fun.

Glare, Sunset Funeral
Transfixing from start to finish, the South Texas shoegazers’ debut is a dynamic, undulating audio portrait of the ups and downs of existence.

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.
