FRONT & CENTER

Tokyo Tea Room on their new record and hearing old songs differently.

Their new record, Feel Forever, leans into disco, cleaner production and songs designed to move without losing the softness that brought people to them in the first place. We caught up with them on tour to talk about the shift, the strange jump from streaming numbers to packed rooms, and what happens when old songs start finding completely new lives.

MAKE TIME FOR

PIGEON, FROST CHILDREN, YHWH NAILGUN.

Margate five-piece Pigeon twist Afro-disco and post-punk into something entirely their own, Frost Children keep pushing pop toward stranger territory, and YHWH Nailgun prove that eleven minutes can be more than enough.

Destroying Stereotypes: How DJ Ez Eddie D of KNON Defines Hip-Hop.

For nearly four decades, DJ Ez Eddie D has used hip-hop as more than entertainment. From Cincinnati house parties to KNON in Dallas, his story is one of records, radio, community and a belief that the music should teach as much as it moves you.

INTERVIEW

Luna Avelar Built a World Called Blush.

Moving between English and Spanish, dream-pop softness and a band with heavier instincts, Luna Avelar has made a record that understands sadness without getting trapped there, music about sitting with a feeling long enough to watch it change.

INTERVIEW

Darksoft Finds a Way Out of the Everyday.

Darksoft’s Everydayness turns repetition, routine and the phrases we barely hear anymore into something strangely luminous. Bill’s latest record finds beauty in the ordinary without pretending the ordinary is always beautiful.

INTERVIEW

Los Sara Fontán Rage Against the Finished Version.

Los Sara Fontán have built a world entirely on their own terms, where records feel physical and live shows resist repetition. With Consuelo, the Barcelona duo turn that independence into a restless, beautiful search for relief in a world that offers very little of it.

Elliott Skinner Is Done Pretending Songs Have Answers.

With How Far We’ve Come, Skinner brings all of his experience under his own name without pretending he has everything figured out. We talked about unfinished songs, live performance, Booker T. Washington, the myth of the lone genius and why he would rather leave a question open than force an answer.
