• Get In On The Ground Floor With Palm at Baby’s

  22-06-2017 21:38 via bkmag.com
  
  With a pair of vocalists and a guitar-based sound, the skeleton of Palm, who just put out their Shadow Expert doesn’t sound totally unique. In the music landscape of 2017, there are a lot of bands structured this way, starting at the top with the xx, moving down to things like Phantogram, San Fermin, and way more.

• What It Means to Be Human: On Alana Massey’s All the Lives I Want

  22-06-2017 16:03 via bkmag.com
  
  “I am, I am, I am,” reads one of the many tattoos Alana Massey uncovers after falling down a late-night Tumblr rabbit hole. The quote is from Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, when Esther tries to commit suicide in the bath. And the skin in question belongs to a woman who frequents “the sadder corner of the women’s Internet,” as Massey puts it, an internet subculture that valorizes Plath and dissects the complicated pain of eating disorders.
