While Land of Talk, the project of singer and guitarist Elizabeth Powell, has not made a bad song, 2010ās Cloak and Cipher is my favorite album from their catalogue. Iāve found that the coolest bands defy genre conventions and thatās true in Land of Talkās case. Is it Indie Rock? Is it Emo? Who gives a shit. Quarry Hymns is one of the best songs Iāve ever heard and I listen to a lot of music. Theyāre also flawless live.

Out of any album in their catalogue, Talk Talkās āSpirit of Edenā has been a constant through my life. Mark Hollisā wavering vocals, the highly peculiar arrangements, sonic collages, and atmosphere make a listening of this album a surreal and cathartic experience.

Long-time DP enjoyer and maintain that my favorite record is still Getty Address, but this new one feels like it crystalizes their past two decades. Just feels like now and is exactly the music I want to listen to this summer. Cottagegoth-aaroncoplandcore.

Not sure if this is a normal arc for aging hipsters but recently oddball indie country has really been clicking in a way it never did before and Bill Callahanās work as Smog is just amazing. His baritone voice really sells the poetic tales of self-loathing. Hell the entire album Knock Knock is about fumbling Chan Marshall (Cat Power) and if thatās not a relatable vibe I donāt know what is
Album picks: Red Apple Falls, Dongs of Sevotion, Knock Knock, A River Aināt Too Much to Love, Supper

šŗI enjoyed Call Me By Your Name so much, I saw it three times in the theater. I was unfamiliar with Luca Guadagnino prior, but I quickly became a huge fan. His new tv show (itās more like an extended film), We Are Who We Are, takes you through some months in the intersecting lives of Military-teens going through the confusing and horny motions of early adulthood. Itās soft and dreamlike at times, and devastating and mind-bending at others. Itās soundtracked by Dev Hynes of Blood Orange, and the cast includes big names like ChloĆ« Sevigny and Scott Mescudi, though many of the new faces on screen truly steal the show. Watch this show. Share it with someone you love.

šHands down the best store in New York and nowhere else comes close. Itās tucked away on Bond Street in SoHo and its owner, Sweetu Patel, keeps it stocked with a perfect mix of wardrobe essentials. He also designs a flawless house brand. Itās an insiderās store. Thereās nothing fussy or trendy to find here. Itās clean, itās simple, and itās rare that 90% of a storeās stock calls oneās name but CāHāCāM does just that. Plus, thereās always someone well-dressed perusing the shopās wares and if thatās not a marker that youāre in the right place, Iām not sure what is.

šEric Weinstein might be the smartest person with a podcast. Iām really not a podcast person (too many people think their voices need to be heard) but the sheer range of topics he can cover with authority is out of control. Heās a polymath in the truest sense. Guests include Werner Herzog, Bret Easton Ellis, Andrew Yang, Ashley Matthews (aka pornstar Riley Reid), Kai Lenny, Sir Roger Penroseā¦ the list goes on. My favorites are #17 with Anna Khachiyan of Red Scare and #27 with Daniel Schmachtenberger, a āneurohackerā youāve certainly never heard of but trust me here.
