We’re still reeling from last week’s Reynoldsmania, but in the
wake of our conversation with the great music scribe about the
past and future of electronic music, this time we’re firmly in
the present.

First, Chal puts forward a thesis about the genre trend of the
moment – a movement that brings together Taylor Swift,
Disney Adults, A. G. Cook and Warhammer freaks. Welcome to
the lorecore era.

Next, we wade knee-deep into the sludgy waters of NYC band Couch
Slut’s new album You Could Do It Tonight, a must-listen for fans
of metal and hardcore’s scuzzier side, equal parts uncomfortable
and funny. We chat about why bands like Couch Slut feel so
refreshing compared to so much of the extreme music that came
before them.

Speaking of humour, is Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a
Midwest Princess the messy pop masterpiece we so desperately need
in 2024? Maybe not, considering it actually came out last year,
but we only just discovered it and we’re both obsessed. Old
school FACT fans might remember our love for Miley’s Bangerz era
and Sky Ferreira’s Night Time, My Time, and this LP is in
that lineage, offering ridiculous tunes and modern dating advice
to boot.
