Some Kind of Wonderful: Algernon Cadwallader on Their Reunion and New Album

Film

It's not a phase! Laura Jayne Hodkin's new animated short is a moody love story between Yorkshire goths

A rough, Squigglevision-inspired animation style and quick, imperfect process produce lively, emo-inflected shorts that celebrate youthful awkwardness and authenticity.

The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die: Dreams of Being Dust

"Dimmed Sun," which opens the band's latest album, Dreams of Being Dust, defines this new direction as it alternates between burly metalcore and cleaner, more expansive prog-emo. Gnarly, compressed guitars are paired with shouted or snarled vocals; noodly harmonized riffs accompany the more skyward-reaching singing. Throughout it all, drummer Steven Buttery gets busy, breaking free of the chains of the slow-build climaxes that once hamstrung his abilities.

Good Luck announce first album in 14 years, 'Big Dreams, Mister,' share "Into the Void"

Their new record Big Dreams, Mister (the title of which should be read in the voice of an early 20th-century newsie) is their first in fourteen years, and it fucking rips. It exists in the rarified air of Superchunk's fantastic post-hibernation record Majesty Shredding and not those "why would they do this?" reunion records of beloved bands whomst shall go unnamed. It is equal parts highly-concentrated effort, pressure-free creativity and the thirst to settle unfinished business after the band stopped making music together in 2012.
