The multi-instrumentalist on his death-metal influences, the creative benefits of solitude and why his best music is still to come. Isolation doesn’t phase Omar Banos.

The Great Regression

By Rachel Grace Almeida

| Resident Advisor (RA)

Streams of champagne shoot from popped bottles into the air. iPhone torches illuminate the dance floor into a nebula. Dripped-out partygoers face the DJ booth, which is bursting with a dozens-strong entourage. Can-can dancers frame the stage, writhing seductively to the supple sounds of Latin and Afro house, while the lucky few on VIP platforms who caught the spray of bubbly wipe themselves down. The surroundings feel swanky, an environment engineered for maximum impact at every turn.

Clairo – 'Sling' review: Spellbinding meditations on motherhood

Jul 16, 2021 |

By Lakou Mizik, Joseph Ray, Rachel Grace Almeida

| Crack Magazine

16.07.21 There’s a passage in Sheila Heti’s 2018 novel, Motherhood, that ponders the polarities – or similarities, depending how you see it – between art and parenthood. “Art is eternity backwards. Children are eternity forwards,” she wrote. This idea, that the pursuits of art and parenthood are forever entwined, is something that has been on Clairo’s mind – and it all began with a dog named Joanie.

A few days before I found out I was pregnant, I went to a good friend’s birthday party. On my way to the bar I felt a ripple of nausea wash over me reminiscent of No-Face being engulfed by waves. I put it down to something I ate at dinner, though I must have had a hunch something was off because that night my wine-guzzling self settled for two gingers ales and bed by midnight. Looking back, it was the first time I’ve ever truly trusted my instinct.

Label: Rabid Records Original release date: 17 February 2006 “Scandinavian” once meant a certain thing in pop: clean, bright, peppy. As the millennium turned, the Stockholm juggernaut let loose by Denniz Pop and Max Martin went global, drawing a line from ABBA through Ace of Base to Robyn, and beyond to Britney and the Backstreet Boys. Sweden became the top per capita exporter of music perfectly constructed for world domination, drawing endless critical parallels to IKEA furniture.
