What makes it so important to me isn’t just the music it produces, but the journey it represents. I remember spending countless nights in my room, struggling to learn my first few chords and nursing sore fingers. But gradually, those raw notes transformed into melodies, and with them ...
Hot off the release of her own 80s covers EP Aisles, Angel Olsen provides a naked and sombre interpretation of ‘Something On Your Mind’, cycling through reverb drenched piano chords as she meditates on the song’s timeless chorus. Backed with Dalton’s stunning original version, ‘Something ...

Whether Hank’s aping the chords from “Jurassic Park” at the start of one tune or attempting to explain to Manny the meaning of Netflix, the Daniels drop ephemeral references into the narrative the way Jackson Pollock flings paint on a canvas. This is pop art by way of lowbrow ...
it's very difficult to pick up a guitar and play through an amplifier loudly and to be original and creative, because so much has gone before. You're a victim of your environment. I wouldn't like to try and place my music anywhere, really. Call it new music, but not radical or unp...
