Geological Abstractionism begins where image-making dissolves into process: in a field where time, gravity, and matter take precedence over composition and immediate visual impact. Wallace Woo, a Paris-based contemporary artist and the founder of Stalactite Aesthetics, approaches painting as a form of sedimentation, a slow accumulation of material and meaning […]
The Essex troublemakers Rat Boy just dropped ‘Broken’, a loud, jagged new track that kicks like a boot to the ribs and doesn’t bother apologising after. It’s the kind of riff-first punk anthem that feels built for sweat-drenched venues and cheap beer floors, co-written with Tim Armstrong (Rancid / Transplants), […]
There’s something quietly obscene about a garage in the Alps. Not obscene in the scandal sense, but in the way it sits there; too practical, too blunt, too indifferent to the romance we insist on projecting onto mountains. A small stone volume on a weekend property in the Raethian Alps, […]
The organizers of Rock la Mureș Festival announce new confirmed acts for this year’s edition, taking place on July 10 – 11 at Periam Port, in Timiș County, Romania.

Ekaterina Iakiamseva moves through photography with the instinct of someone who distrusts surfaces. The image, for her, is never a simple record, never an obedient witness.

On […]

Where […]
Rising indie-folk artist Ike Dweck will release his new single, ‘The End of Me,’ on May 1, arriving just ahead of his first-ever headline US tour. The track is available to pre-save at this link. On ‘The End of Me,’ Dweck turns his attention to the uneasy aftermath of a breakup, zeroing in on the […]
There’s a particular kind of American panic that kicks in the moment sex stops being decorative. Not pornographic, decorative. The kind that sells fragrance campaigns, props up streaming thrillers, lubricates the cultural machine without ever leaving a stain. But the second desire becomes architectural, the second it starts shaping a […]
Paris has always known how to domesticate ghosts. Lenny Kravitz’s residence in the 16th arrondissement, a grand 1920s hôtel particulier known as Villa Roxie, carries a name shaped by private history. It honors Roxie Roker, his mother, and the Paris she once imagined for herself. The tribute is embedded into […]
