"On the cover: A comprehensive feature by music writer Shahlin Graves on why Japanese Breakfast's recent record For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women) rules so hard, going in-depth on the meaning and gestation of many of its songs with band leader Michelle Zauner, author of Crying in H Mart. Also includes a bunch of really killer, exclusive photos lovingly accompanying the piece. An exceptional interview with Kai Slater, the super prolific, talented 20-year-old member of Lifeguard, about his terrific pure-pop-for-now-people solo project Sharp Pins by Sydney Salk. Includes amazing, lengthy oral history from the crew who worked behind the scenes on the 1981 Bronx-based cult horror flick Wolfen. This alone is probably worth the price of admission. A deliriously well-written tribute by noted music scribe and DJ Kurt Reighley to Gavin Friday, covering his entire career: from the Virgin Prunes through Hollywood collaborations, and his solo work today. Two separate charged and cantankerous interviews by Knoxville-based historian Eric Dawson, stitched together and serving as a swell tribute to the great Pere Ubu leader David Thomas (RIP). Ubu forever."
