Pianist and keyboardist Craig Taborn is a shape-shifting musician. On his latest ECM Records release, he moves across several of his forms with a single, extremely versatile band. The trio is completed by cellist Tomeka Reid and percussionist Ches Smith, who moves from mallet percussion to drum kit to electronics as artistically necessary. With Taborn
M(h)aol’s Something Soft is an album with a misnomer at its core. Nothing here is soft—certainly not the guitars, which jangle rather than bounce; not the percussion that weirdly pulses throughout the songs; not the lyrics, which offer blunt truths. Certainly not the emotional architecture of the record, which is built around a simple, devastating
There’s a delicious irony to an album called Wormslayer planting relentless earworms in the mind that tunnel through it for days on end. Listeners fond of hook-laden, grand-scale sonic storytelling will find that English rock band Kula Shaker’s eighth effort delivers mystic folk rock every bit as adventuresome as Frank Herbert’s Dune—(ear)worms included. Wormslayer sees
Miley Cyrus returned to the set of Hannah Montana in the first trailer for the forthcoming Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special. The special is set to air on Disney+ on March 24, 20 years to the day that the show premiered on Disney Channel. In the clip, Cyrus can be seen visiting some of the

Shia LaBeoufreportedly just got cleared to fly to Rome for his father’s baptism — after a Louisiana judge originally denied his plea following his battery arrest.

L ola Young is sitting in front of a grand piano at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, her hands hovering over the keys. It’s been five months since she was last onstage, and everyone in the room has their eyes locked on her. She waits for a second and then begins, the bruised melody

It’s been nearly 15 years since Justin Townes Earle first met Sammy Brue outside an Ogden, Utah club that the pre-teen guitarist and Earle admirer wasn’t old enough to enter. Earle became a mentor to Brue that night, changing the course of Brue’s life. Earle eventually asked Brue to be on the cover of hisSingle
Julian Lage, 38 years old, is part of the generation of jazz guitarists who follow the block of Pat Metheny, John Scofield, and Bill Frisell and have absorbed the way that mainstream jazz (learned in school) and modern popular music (rock, indie or otherwise; soul; funk; hip-hop) can work together seamlessly. The guitar is, of
Landing in the transitional period between post-punk and new wave, Leisure Process were but one of a dozen acts trying to get a foothold in the ever-changing UK pop landscape during the 1980s. Singer Ross Middleton, in fact, had punk roots in a previous group, Scotland’s Positive Noise, a valuable platform that allowed him to
A new slasher is entering the battlefield of modern horror — and it’s bringing something far more dangerous than just a knife. Deathstalker Productions has released the first teaser trailer for A Soldier’s Descent, an intense new slasher film that fuses brutal genre thrills with a grounded look at the psychological aftermath of war. The
It’s been a rough start to 2026 for fans of the Grateful Dead after guitarist and co-founder Bob Weir passed away on 10 January at age 78. Tribute shows by local musicians around the Bay Area occurred literally every night for the next week, followed by a public memorial event at the San Francisco Civic
A powerhouse trio of independent horror veterans has announced the development of “Dead Road”, a visceral new entry into the zombie subgenre.

Horror has always been a genre of excess and expression: blood, shadows, and sounds that don’t quite match what you’re seeing on screen. It’s no coincidence that when online casinos started looking for ways to hook a generation raised on VHS slashers and streaming nightmares, they went straight to the box office of fear. The
Albert Kriemler approached Akris Fall 2026 from a deeply tactile perspective. Collaborating with Colombian textile artist Olga de Amaral, the designer explored the relationship between weaving and storytelling, building a collection rooted in texture, craftsmanship, and sensory experience. “I don’t think in words; I think in touch and texture,” Kriemler said when describing his process.
The television series Avatar: The Last Airbender has enjoyed a long cultural lifespan for a Nickelodeon cartoon. Since its release, critics have praised its ability to convey heavy emotional themes through a medium aimed at a young audience.

Taroug’snew album,Chott, is named after a giant salt lake in Tunisia.

There’s a real “something-wicked-this-way-comes” energyhere,
Megadrought, the latest album from composer Devin Maxwell, is ambitious enough on its own, but the fact that it is the third of four planned releases makes the scope of Maxwell’s musical imagination seem infinitely wider. The four albums – the first two being Timebending (2024) and Selfies (2025) – are part of Maxwell’s “Cloudseeding”
As a jazz studies drummer at the University of Michigan, Erik Hall encountered a life-changing moment when he was first exposed to Steve Reich‘s enormously influential Music for 18 Musicians. Long considered a lodestar of the minimalist genre, Reich’s piece influenced Hall to the point that he reconstructed it as a solo artist, painstakingly recreating
I’ll admit, I was a little worried for The Night Agent last month. Given the way Season 3 ended on the 2026 TV schedule, I wondered if this might be the end of the series, as so many Netflix subscription-exclusive shows have been cancelled after just three seasons. Fortunately, Netflix announced today that The Night
After years of talk about Hollywood reimagining The Bride of Frankenstein for the modern age, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! is among new 2026 movies out this week, and it’s time to talk about the ending. This is your SPOILER WARNING for the rest of this article. Go see it in theaters before reading on. Christian
