13: Cindy Lee, claire rousay and the haunted, horny sound of now

No Tags is going weekly!


Since launching last year we’ve managed to stick to an episode
every fortnight, but the time feels right to try and make things
more frequent. So in that spirit, we’re going to be recording
more regular Tom-and-Chal-only episodes. Anything you
particularly want us to tackle in these? Email, comment or DM us.


This week: we tackle Cindy Lee’s Diamond Jubilee
and the revelation that Pitchfork isn’t only still going, is
still able to break albums! Is it the best long-player since
Fetch the Bolt Cutters, or is its success simply nostalgia for
the last embers of the pre-streaming age?


We bed-rot with claire rousay and her new album
sentiment, perhaps the most 2024 album of 2024 so far. It all
boils down to porn bots and the numb, over-scrolled horniness of
existing online in 2024.


There’s also thoughts on Coachella, the haunted
nostalgia of the modern-day festival circuit, and why there might
be more DJ sets like that Grimes disaster-class
to come.
