    Serrated Intellect jason mascow We’re coming closer and closer to one of the most important days of the rest of our lives. i know you’re probably sick and tired of hearing it by now, but it’s something we’ve just got to suck up. I mean, letz face it, there’s a hell of a reason to. November 2, 2004. Election day. I hate to introduce WAV magazine’s long-awaited second issue with a topic sure to elicit more jeer than cheer, but I trust you can respect itz immediacy. Immediacy that has prompted the artists and personalities we love, hate, and admire, to dedicate a good chunk of their obligation to. Of the countless events we attended over the past few years, there has existed at least a brief moment, often times full-on ‘speeches,’ dedicated to speaking up against the direction our beautiful, once- not-too-long-ago respected country is headed. And they do it out of pure passion and heartfelt belief, many times angering the businesses, marketers, government, corporations, sponsors…basically the money… behind them. and wasn’t that the idea in the first place? scare us into thinking that the only right way was their way? But still, the artists feel they just have to. After seeing a steady stream of this at just about every club I walked into, every festival lawn I frolicked on, every stage, theater, and coffeehouse I visited, I realized that i was not alone…and with this empowerment, I started to become less and less afraid.

  • JUST ANNOUNCED Susanne Sundfør Monday 21 May 2018 / Barbican Hall / 19:30 Tickets £15 – 20 Plus Booking Fee After a Sold-O
    JUST ANNOUNCED Susanne Sundfør Monday 21 May 2018 / Barbican Hall / 19:30 Tickets £15 – 20 plus booking fee After a sold-out Norwegian tour earlier this year, Susanne Sundfør will bring her critically acclaimed Music for People in Trouble production to the Barbican on 21 May 2018. The audio-visual experience and immersive show reflects her recent album in live art form, and has earned rave reviews. This will be the first time it has been performed outside Norway. The opportunity to bring this special concert to the Barbican sadly means cancelling her previously announced appearance at 02 Shepherd’s Bush Empire due to the performance’s production requirements. Refunds for the Shepherd’s Bush Empire date will be available from point of purchase. Original ticket holders will be contacted by e- mail offering the first opportunity to re-book for this show. The classically-trained singer/songwriter/producer's music ranges from folk-song to synth-pop, and she has collaborated with the likes of John Grant, M83 and Röyksopp in the process. Her fifth studio album, also titled Music for People in Trouble (Bella Union) was released in September 2017 to much praise. On sale to previous bookers on Thursday 16 November On sale to Barbican members on Thursday 23 November On general sale on Friday 24 November Produced by the Barbican in association with Communion Find out more Tigran Hamasyan & Nils Petter Molvaer Saturday 2 June 2018 / Barbican Hall / 19:30 Tickets £20 – 35 plus booking fee Tigran Hamasyan returns to London offering a blend of his own solo piano and choral works with the exciting addition of guest trumpeter, Nils Petter Molvaer.

  • By Rachel Brodsky They Might Be Giants Have
    They Might Be Giants I Like Fun bio -- By Rachel Brodsky They Might Be Giants have always been a little obsessed with death. Over the course of their 30-plus year career, renowned college-pop experimentalists John Flansburgh and John Linnell have never shied away from joining the lyrically macabre with bold and often unusual instrumentation—whether it’s talking about being reincarnated as a bag of groceries on 1990’s Flood or having their remains shot out into space (and coming back as a ghost) on 2016’s Phone Power. The duo’s 20th studio album, I Like Fun (arriving on January 19, 2018), is similarly—if not more so—interested in personal oblivion. "At some point we realized we could call any They Might Be Giants record 'Deathtrip,' and it would be appropriate," jokes Flansburgh. "But it wouldn't be very welcoming. “I think the truth is, as a band, and as writers, the mixed bag of writing melodic songs with dystopian content is a winning combination for us. I think it speaks more to the persuasive power of melody than it does to the inevitability of dystopian themes. Because ultimately, I think people find a lot of optimism in what we're singing about, even when it's relentlessly pessimistic." “[Death is] a great topic,” concurs Linnell. “It never gets old, and there's a million different ways to talk about it. It's never lost its juice as far as I'm concerned. I love making up songs about death. It's not the only thing we write about, obviously, but I think it's the gift that keeps on giving.” Take I Like Fun’s lead single: the harmonizing, mid-tempo “I Left My Body,” which contemplates what becomes of the mind after the body is finished living and likens death to a nondescript waiting room.
