Mysterious band and one of my favs ever. “God Has Lips: Collected Recordings Vol.1” is the new album, their first release since 2010. This is that real shit I would like to listen to in a locker room before a game drinking blue gatorade dipping Skoal mint longcut kicking over garbage cans.

this album isn’t completely unknown, but i definitely never hear enough people talk about it. every single time i’ve told someone to listen to this album, they’ve come back with nothing short of love for it. i took a friend to see flyte, and he only knew one of their songs - he left saying, “THAT’S how i want to be as a musician. that stage presence, songwriting, etc.” - a big fan was born that night lol. i would literally show this band and this album to every individual person in the world if it meant it would get the appreciation it deserved.

Lungfish is the best band Dischord ever released, and one of the best bands in general. Vocalist and musician Daniel Higgs will forever be a legend. Feral Hymns is a perfect album. The songs are hypnotic, sludgy, warm - they seem ceremonial somehow. I first listened to this record at the Outer Banks, so it always reminds me of hazy sun, gin and tonics and sand in my socks - which I don’t actually mind because it feels like I’m constantly walking on the beach.

Popular where I’m from in Mississippi. In high school, every weekend my friends and I would listen to Dave Matthews and not drink alcohol. We’d drive to Bonsai, a Japanese steakhouse where they cook in front of you at your table.I don’t know why but going the fuck in on fried rice and teppanyanki chicken just hits kinda harder in the South.

I initially did not dare to self-promote in this fine newsletter. Then I considered that maybe I’m just a lil bald lil bitchboy if I don’t mention the film which I spent years making. In Dogleg, I play an amateur director who loses his girlfriend’s dog at a gender reveal party on the morning of a big shoot. We just wrapped a string of premieres in L.A. and NYC and this summer the film will act like a band and go on a world tour. 🌎🗺️ Peter Jackson (LOTR) said in Esquire: “I’m still thinking about it a week later. It’s the best film I’ve seen in 2023.” Playing in your city soon.

The work of Italian musician and visual artist Lorenzo Senni is all about anticipation. His music ranges from angular, beatless-trance-buildups – it sounds like it reads – to orchestral deconstruction. His mixes, his film scores, his runway show scores, his albums – it’s very my shit. Very inspiring. He runs “Presto!? Records” in Milan and is also a super nice guy.
