Chelsea Wolfe 2024, She Reaches Out to She, Cover Art I don’t think any subculture has undergone a more depressing evolution over the years than the goths. It was once a proud and bustling community so vast that you couldn’t even go to a local pizza joint without hearing about Robert Smith’s ridiculous hair. It’s been left behind in history as a niche, only populated…
Milo Greenblatt Radiohead, as we know it, is probably dead and buried now that it’s been eight years since the last album. We’re just waiting out the clock till Thom Yorke confirms it himself, but don’t fret! Even with the absence of Radiohead, there’s no lack of albums with similar sounds.

Joel Stadtmueller | The Seattle Collegian The Pacific Northwest is a lush landscape in ways both literal and metaphorical. This fertile environment has shaped many of my favorite artists and albums, many of which are inextricably tied to this place — a place both wonderful and strange, to borrow a phrase from Agent Dale Cooper of “Twin Peaks.” When music became…
Kali Herbstminino | The Seattle Collegian Every morning I’d pick up my discarded binder and try it on multiple times. I had been poking at the line between masc and femme for over a year, hoping that whatever presentation would make me euphoric would jump out at me.
