grooving through: vol. 9 This week: Bright Eyes, BRNDA, and Kate Bush.

"The toneless yell after 'happy,' the reimagination of 'you make me happy when skies are gray': these are the sort of madcap, dastardly moves that make the chaos of Fevers and Mirrors feel smart, intentional, and honest.

New newsletter out now.

grooving through: vol. 8 This week: Phoebe Bridgers & Bright Eyes.

"This album crash-landed during COVID. It’s flopping back onto my bed, staring at the ceiling fan. It’s late nights with wine for one, a coaster on my secretary desk. It’s a CBD gummy and a sense of doom."
