In Print: So Young Magazine Issue Fifty-Five.
Issue Fifty-Five arrives in the world as festival lineups begin to complete and sporadic sunshine begins to tease. The cover feature of this issue travels to New York and into the world of Model/Actriz where the band welcomea brighter era with upcoming second album, ‘Pirouette’. Our conversation spans the political impact that’s possible within your immediate community, the art of trying less and steering the live show away from aggression and toward collective joy.
Staying in New York, but with strong UK foundations, YHWH Nailgun take our call for the second time (find Issue Forty-Six for the first one) to discuss their debut album ‘45 Pounds’. Released via AD93 and adopted by the ‘6Music Dad’, the NYC four-piece chat to us about the London enthusiasm and more.
Westside Cowboy are Manchester’s hottest new prospect. Off the back of performing at a very packed We Are So Young night, we reached out to dig into their brand of ‘Britainicana’. Continuing the theme of hot prospects, London-via-Dublin’s Kissing On Camera and Groningen’s Real Farmer are also interviewed inside.
Now back home in Seattle, Car Seat Headrest’s Will Toledo is preparing to add to an already vast and impressive catalogue of records. ‘The Scholars’ is due for release in May and in the midst of preparing Patreon content, Will kindly took our call to chat about it.
For a project which could be described as a second thought for its members, New Zealand’s School Fair have quietly built a loyal following in the UK, a followingthat was glad to see new album ‘bird the kid’ released in January. After a short stint of shows in the UK and now back home, De Stevens agreed to an interview on it all.
We also speak with Austin based music photographer Pooneh Ghana after a successful SXSW and designer, Rhi Dancey talks us through the ethos of their brand, collective and agency.
To finish us off and returning to our printed pages are Elias Rønnenfelt, this time to chat on his solo work away from Iceage, London’s The Orchestra (For Now) who have released their debut EP since our last chat, and feeble little horse who called it a day, got back together and released a new single since our chat in Issue Forty-Three.
