There was unfinished business… Before it was about sonic cathedrals, sex vampires and superhold hairspray, goth was the invention of distressed souls going slowly mad in cramped suburban homes on the southern fringes of London. It was David Bowie haunted by his brother’s asylum in Coulsdon’s Cane Hill Hospital on “The Bewlay Brothers”. It was Robert Smith wandering out of the new town dream of Crawley into the ancient European night of “A Forest”. And, most of all, it was Siouxsie And The Banshees divining an uncanny psychic vortex in a Chislehurst sitting room on “Happy House” and “Christine”....
Holograms could be the answer… Take it with a pinch of salt, but it’s a tough time to be a Fleetwood Mac fan. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks are still at loggerheads after the guitarist was turfed out of the band in 2018 – Nicks declared she was “no longer willing to work with him”; he suffered a heart attack soon after being fired – and the window has all but shut on what’s left of a Fleetwood Mac classic lineup reunion now that each member is pushing 80 and Christine McVie has gone. Holograms could be the answer. ...
David Bowie was working on a secret project at the time of his death in 2016, as reported by the BBC. ‘The Spectator’ was envisaged by Bowie to be an “18th Century Musical” based on the daily periodical of the same name, published by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele in London from 1711 to 1712. Advertisement A series of post-it notes relating to the plot of ‘The Spectator’ were left stuck to the wall of Bowie’s study in New York. The room was always locked – only Bowie and his personal assistant had a key – so the project...
On August 29, Kris Kolls officially introduced herself to the global pop stage with the release of “You Know.” The Russian-born, Istanbul-based artist blends years of training and performance into a debut that feels polished yet deeply personal. The track is smooth and atmospheric, built on floating synths and a steady pulse, but it’s her vocals that command attention. Distinctive and magnetic, Kris Kolls delivers each line with precision, shifting easily between moments of intimacy and bursts of power. In the song, she captures the confidence of a love that doesn’t need outside validation, singing about being “ahead, outta...
On October 17, Sony Music will release Bruce Springsteen’s five-disc Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition on vinyl and CD (+Blu-Ray). It includes The E Street Band’s fabled ‘Electric Nebraska’ sessions and solo outtakes from the era, as well as a newly shot performance film of Nebraska in its entirety and a 2025 remaster of the original album.

“I wanted to write a coming-of-age novel and I made an album instead,” says Casey Walker, fulcrum of Chicago’s lustrous alt.country newcomers Case Oats. Their upcoming debut Last Missouri Exit is certainly steeped in confessional Midwest storytelling. A creative writing graduate, Walker crafts vivid portraits of youthful abandon and struggle, of deadbeat exes (and the exes they went back to), and of the darkness that can engulf her homeland landscapes. “Songs are born out of a short story or a poem,” she says, perched on a stool in a Notting Hill bar, ahead of an in-store performance at Rough...
