From the folks who lived it: Slate's oral history of

documents the indie bible's rise & fall from its goofball origins & buzz-building heydey to its eventual corporatization and— well, whatever it is now. 40 interviews, 12,000 words, 0.0 fucks.

Extremely saddened by the news that Condé Nast has chosen to restructure Pitchfork and lay off so much of its staff, including some who've been integral to its operations for many years/decades. Sending love to everyone affected and hoping for the best for its future.

So excited to share today that I’m writing a book! It’s called WEIRD ERA and it chronicles Pitchfork and indie music’s ascent into mainstream pop culture from the mid-90s onward. Can't wait to share it with you!

Hayden Silas Anhedönia inhabits a persona named Ethel Cain, but she makes music so eerily personal that the line between character and lived experience becomes utterly blurred. Her debut album is liable to turn her into pop music's next great obsession.

Still a shocking number of people in music writing off this space because it’s easier to make jokes on the timeline than do the work to recognize how the value of music + art is shifting. It may seem non-intuitive, and yes there’s a learning curve, but this is v good for artists

Everything But The Girl's first new song in 24 years is the best thing out this week and already a lock for year-end lists. It retains all the duo's signatures: Ben Watt's sophisticated beat-making and Tracey Thorn's elegant vocals on the precipice of love-wrecked surrender.

Could Ethel Cain be the next Weeknd? With all the dark sensuality, hedonism, and melodic touches of 'House of Balloons,' her new track, "Gibson Girl," suggests she's on course to become one of this year's most significant new breakout artists.

billy woods is radically restructuring rap’s relationship with language, deploying knotty narratives that can take several listens to solve. After 20 years in the game, he’s now in his own orbit— and 'Aethiopes' is his victory lap from the moon.

Prince spoke on posthumous performances during his life, this defied his wishes in death. No tribute is paid by dishonoring his will. He deserves so much better.

Sam Gendel is putting out the most fascinating ambient and loop-based music this year. He’s pulling new age, jazz and vaporwave bits into richly expressive, hypnotic textures that are deeply soulful but also sound a little like piped-in mall music from the early 90s. I love it.

Blessed to have followed LOW from local band status in 1993 Minnesota (when they were kind enough to step up as Pitchfork’s first-ever interview subjects) into 2021, where they’ve gone so deep in their own world, they’ve transcended all conceivable limits. God-level music.

Japanese Breakfast really grasps how the closing track of an album is as essential as the last scene of a film or the final paragraph of a novel. The one on her new record is pure catharsis. That last chord resonates for miles.

Kate Bush, lover of the absurd and theatrical, has been gearing up in costume to perform quirky songs on British television her entire adult life. This honestly tracks.
Can't believe we live in a world where it's entirely possible Kate Bush is on The Masked Singer UK.
I felt a fool suggesting it earlier but now I'm convinced that's her voice and diction..
Plus the last clue about liking to be heard and not seen... Catherine. Bush.
