Crack Cloud – Red MileJagjaguwar Crack Cloud began in 2015 as a self-preserving creative outlet. In recent years, the Canadian collective have realized that art is more of a retractor that’s beneficial to examine personal wounds rather than a procedure that heals them.  Around their second album, 2022’s Tough Baby, co-founder Zach Choy expressed how

Bad news for you, SPIN readers. When asked who would win in a street fight—SPIN readers or the cast of one of his operas—Ricky Ian Gordon did not choose you. “The characters I am drawn to are fierce, individualistic, brave, iconoclastic…and face gigantic obstacles, so I think all of my opera casts would win,” he

The 1981 film Time Bandits is a curious one: While not officially a Monty Python project, the legendary British comedy troupe’s voice can be felt in the writing and direction, given that Python members Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam co-wrote the script, with Gilliam directing. Fortunately, Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, two of the creators

Mariana de Miguel is laughing. I’ve just compared the seven tracks of her brand new EP, blush, to a box of Baci—the utterly addictive, hazelnut-filled Italian chocolates with little love notes included in the wrapping—and she finds the analogy amusing.  The 28-year-old singer-songwriter known as Girl Ultra connects via Zoom from an outdoor café in

After being universally panned, Katy Perry has retroactively revealed that the music video for her new single “Woman’s World” is meant to be satire. “We’re being a bit sarcastic with it,” explained in a video posted to social media on Saturday. “It’s very slapstick, very on the nose.
