Skiffle's potent, if coarse, fusion of folk and New Orleans jazz was the crowning sound of lower-class Britons "dead ground" between the end of World War II and the rise of the Beatles.

Brian Eno's 15 Best Pop/Rock Moments

Paste Magazine — Digging through all of Brian Eno's recorded history untangles a very specific segment of rock's cerebral, messy, sometimes kooky history. He has famously called himself a "non-musician" because he considers music not in terms of melody and hooks, but in terms of competing ideas, textures and temperaments.

Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner Talks Grief, Soft Sounds From Another Planet and More

Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner Talks Grief, Soft Sounds From Another Planet and More

Paste Magazine — What's striking about Michelle Zauner's music as Japanese Breakfast is how hard her work ethic has been earned. Her debut Psychopomp was written just two months after her mother's passing from cancer. That a fear of relenting to depression after several months of difficult caretaking drove her to write catchy, uptempo synth-rock gives credence to the cynical joke that fear is the strongest motivator.

The 20 Best of Montreal Songs

Paste Magazine — Of Montreal, the psych-jam band not actually from Montreal, makes music like a freak show house band.

The Tripped-Out, Magnetic Horror of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

Paste Magazine — Melbourne-based King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard may look like hippies, but they aren't seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. The prolific septet's 10th album in the past six years, Murder of the Universe, is a three-chapter trek through a parallel dystopian universe, setting the bleak outlook of doom metal to an aggressive psychedelic swampiness that has been become something of a signature for King Gizzard.
