Shorties (A Previously Unpublished Interview with Clarice Lispector, Ruhail Qaisar on His Debut Album, and more)
The New Yorker shared a previously unpublished interview with Clarice Lispector.
Ruhail Qaisar discussed his debut album Fatima with The Quietus.
Time takes on a strange character in Fatima. Field recordings capture moments in time (dogs bark, children chatter), which float amidst time-warped samples and alien, atemporal drone. Qaisar suggests this was influenced by the way Fatima’s creation took place in the contrasting environments of rural Leh and the claustrophobic apartment he keeps in New Delhi. “Urban life out there is very straining. When I get home to Leh and look at the landscape, it feels like time works differently.”

Paste profiled the band Girl Scout.
Girl Scout’s jazz roots are not immediately evident on Real Life Human Garbage. As Jansson says herself, you don’t hear the arrangements on “Weirdo” and think, “Oh, that’s jazz.” Instead, it’s a structural and technical influence, as the average jazz song often jumps between two or three keys. Understanding how to navigate harmonics was a crash course that really helped spread out what kind of sounds the band could make.
Kieran Goddard recommended books where work seeps into everyday life at Electric Literature.

The Atlantic recommended books to read as a pair.
The Oxford American reconsidered Millie Jackson's country album, Just a Lil’ Bit Country, 40 years after its release.
Just a Lil’ Bit Country has also never sounded more important. I hear it as a link in the long and ongoing history of how African American musicians have added new chapters in country’s development rather than simply serving as static influences from a semi-mythical past.
Heinz Insu Fenkl recommended books with themes of spirituality and growth at The Week.

Karen Russell talked writing for the stage with Esquire.
