System Crash – Elon Musk
System Crash – Elon Musk
I’m sick of it, you’re sick of it. He’s dominated our feeds for months and we’re about as collectively exhausted hearing about Elon as we are of Trump, or COVID-19, or that an unborn foetus in the States somehow smuggled a gun into the maternity ward and shot up the place. Still though, the question is practically begged — how in the hell did we end up in this timeline? A pharmaceutical compan...

Ari Aster's Families On The Fritz
Ari Aster's Families On The Fritz
In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”  In Sig...

The Puppet Show Putin Doesn’t Want You to See
The Puppet Show Putin Doesn’t Want You to See
In the distance, a baby wails. Above him drape the angel wings of a pillow fort’s white blankets. As we step closer, stained glass emerges, and a cradle, a candle on cloth. “Waaaaa!” goes the baby. A man hovers over it. “God,” the man says, “why did this have to happen to me?” It’s a gross baby. A fairy buzzes in. “Yes, yes,” the fairy agrees, “your first ones were prettier.” The fairy has a f...

Album Review: SOS, SZA
Album Review: SOS, SZA
If hell is other people, then heaven is missing them. As messy as our breakups, fallouts and moral scuffles can be, at least we know we care enough to think about those friends and partners we’ve lost. That’s clarity, maybe. Peace. We’re in love with a memory. We can reshape those relationships to suit who we are now. And now. And perhaps after a sad wank. On her second album, SZA builds hers...

Album Review: Mr Morale & The Big Steppers, Kendrick Lamar
Album Review: Mr Morale & The Big Steppers, Kendrick Lamar
I’ve never owned a diamond, won a Pulitzer or checked into a hotel that didn’t lose a star by the night I checked out. I don’t know what it’s like to sweep an awards show, blazing a trail hotter than a red carpet. I have never boosted a TV, jammed it in the trunk of a car and fled a copper siren. My bank balance remains decidedly off balance. I’ve never seen a jail, nor written about an inmate...

The Sound & The Furry
The Sound & The Furry
Will Toledo is a furry. He came out onstage in Brooklyn, dressed as Mortis Jackrabbit, a gasmasked mammal with a coat like an old fox. His eyes glowed, plucked from a Fallout dream. Limbering up to ‘Bodys’, one of the best songs by his quite good band, Car Seat Headrest – and we can only assume with a smirk beneath the mask – he looked as if he was just getting used to himself at last. “Do yo...

What Is Anti-Pop, Really? 
What Is Anti-Pop, Really? 
Spotify might’ve legitimised anti-pop for the sake of inventing it. You might ask what anti-pop is. An easier answer might be what it isn’t. Fans quibble, yet they seem to locate a genre that embraces popular tastes while dismissing them.

Still Animal: Francis Bacon
Still Animal: Francis Bacon
 Bacon in his studio, Jane Bown ,1985 On an airless white soundstage, shutters scream up. A man steps in. He walks with brass dignity, a hand in his pocket, wearing the colours and contours of Berlin; black turtleneck, grey blazer; mouth ajar, as always, like the eyes above it have found something tasty in a trap. Another man waits for him, suited, with the aspect of someone who would wait fore...
