Carter Guthrie Music Journalist The electronic music scene in 2026 is more popular than ever, with deep roots that have been dug all across the planet. From techno in Detroit and London, to Brazilian Funk in São Paulo, it is safe to say the whole world is pumping up the volume. The various genres and subcultures allow for a diverse array of communities for anyone to call home. I got […]
Marissa Quiroga Music Journalist As we enter September, we begin to celebrate the diversity, perseverance, and innovation of Hispanic culture by devoting the entire month to commemorating heritage. By honoring its beautiful history, we are recognizing the significance of Latin rock and the impact it continues to have. The global hit song “La Bamba” by Richie Valens inspired a cultural shift in rock music. This song established belonging in global […]
Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist The term shoegaze comes from the distorted and fuzzy noise of the genre due to the amount of effect pedals used, and originates from pioneering 90s bands such as Slowdive, Swirlies, and My Bloody Valentine. This atmospheric and blended sound has mainly defined the genre up until recent years, with a shoegaze revival steadily making a comeback and blending in experimental sounds and entirely different […]
By Bridget Holt Music Journalist Industrial pioneers Einstürzende Neubauten (translating to “collapsing new buildings”) have been on the cutting edge of music since their conception in the late 1970’s; taking a literal approach to the genre with the help of some sheet metal, power drills, jackhammers, and, of course, chainsaws. Provoked by the almost three-decade long division of Germany by the Berlin wall, the West Berlin based outfit pummeled into the […]
Michael Ybarra Music Journalist Ocean Vuong’s debut novel “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous” is written as a three-part letter to the main character’s mother. A poet by trade, Vuong flexes his literary strength in captivating prose and experimental storytelling. His grasp of language, in my opinion, is unmatched and inspirational, so much so that I desperately sought out music which echoes the novel’s themes and exhibits exceptional lyricism. What […]
FKA Twigs has announced that her long-awaited third studio album is finally coming. Titled EUSEXUA, the record will be out on January 24, 2025.

The album's title is inspired by a word Twigs coined; one that describes "a feeling of momentary transcendence often evoked by art, music, sex and […]
Riley Watkins Music Journalist Frank Ocean’s magnum opus of an album, Blonde, was released 8 years ago. There is not much I can say about the project that hasn’t already been said; Blonde was essentially named a classic by all major music publications within a year of its release. While being a gorgeous run of R&B ballads, it is also a music history lesson. The contributors of the album […]
By Natalia Velazquez Music Journalist I consider myself an explorer of music. I will search high and low for new artists and songs to add to playlists and to love. In December of 2022, I was playing around on Spotify when I discovered a song called “Tearjerker” by the band, Small Forward. I instantly fell in love with the relaxed yet upbeat instrumentals, and the transition from the bridge […]
By Jewel Ogungbamigbe Music Journalist Elusive. Multi-faceted. Undefinable. All words that I would use to describe Dean Blunt. What makes him different from every other artist? Why should you be tuned in? While he’s not necessarily underground due to him accruing quite a passionate, although somewhat niche, fanbase in subsequent years; I would still consider him underrated at most. Roy Chukwuemeka Nnawuchi, commonly known by his stage name, Dean Blunt, […]
