But of course, they don’t just like doing ANY OLD stuff together; they like doing rather absurdly high-concept stuff together — e.g. 2016’s

I can’t even blame this on a spontaneous boycott of all non-TMT publications, since we’ve been covering her for a couple of years now, but I’ve been totally oblivious to the burgeoning popularity that’s undoubtedly come with each new Mitski full-length.

Oh Lee Gamble, what will you think of next? Why can’t you just stay in your box? So many people are happy with the bloodstained title of “UK Producer.” Why not you?

Socrates, upon finding a seashell:

After collaborating in a variety of settings for the last six years and change — mostly duo, but with an occasional extra ringer or two thrown in — guitarist Bill Orcutt (Harry Pussy) and drummer Chris Corsano (The Hated Music Duo, Icepick, Dissention) have brought out their first full-length studio LP, Brace Up!, on the guitarist’s Palilalia label.
