Listen to this article Your browser does not support the audio element. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT DOCUMENTING a moment in time, what does that mean to you?

Constricting yet chillingly spacious, the atmosphere of this debut is guided by the achingly human tremble in Mohr’s voice and the tangible weariness of her minimal use of guitar and synth. Kathryn MohrWaiting RoomTHE FLENSERKathryn Mohr’s songs sound as if she’s singing them as the last person on the Earth. There’s an eerie sparseness to the Oakland-based songwriter’s work, often only composed of as few instrumental tracks as possible, always vacant of any percussion.

Within the overwhelming force and unfathomable cosmic horrors of the metal duo’s latest LP rests a remarkable emotional complexity, proving the band wields as much pathos as they do pain. The BodyThe Crying Out of ThingsTHRILL JOCKEYHow much do you need to understand something to truly feel it? The Body is one of the most prolific working bands actively researching that question.

Guided the podcast through a very near and dear topic to me (memory-holed dirty and hypersexual indie rock songs of the 2000s) If the name "Louis XIV" is like a sleeper cell activation phrase for you, this is the episode for you

There are times where I look at podcasts and I see nothing worth liking... but that's NOT the case with the best movie podcast in the game, baby!!! One of my fave recordings I've done with the Trylove guys, felt like I unlocked so much to a movie I've loved for half my life
𝐈’𝐦 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐧. In our last episode on the films of Paul Thomas Anderson, @NataliesNotInIt helps us dish out takes on THERE WILL BE BLOOD (2007)! This way for talk of family, faith, and false selves hiding truth just beneath the surface! ⛏️🛢️🔥 (links in 🧵) https://t.co/Ys3wNlxUa1
Wrote about Death Grips' bizarre, singular double LP The Powers That B turning 10 for @stereogum and fetishizing our own mortality... felt like the biggest album in the world to me when it dropped, and still feels like I'm finding more to it a decade later https://t.co/pkD3O6AZN8
