Paste profiled singer-songwriter Aurora Aksnes.
In her music and as a performer, AURORA projects contrasting characteristics that make her an enchantingly idiosyncratic artist. She acknowledges that she writes mostly sad songs, and the title of her debut LP, All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, out March 11, is an idealistic encapsulation of the innocence, gloom, and empowerment that imbue its 12 tracks. She’s an emotive live performer, her hands undulating freely about, but between songs she’s shy, and there appears to be a moment of trepidation at the conclusion of each one, before she’s overwhelmed with loud approval.
The Miami Herald interviewed Peter Straub about his new short story collection Interior Darkness.
Stream a demo of Sufjan Stevens' song "Chicago," from the forthcoming remastered and expanded edition of Illinois.
