Issue Thirty-Four comes as we wave goodbye to summer and to a unique period where we’ve celebrated the return of festivals and cautiously made our way back into live rooms once again. Touring is back on the agenda, but it won’t be until June 2022 that we see our cover band, Parquet Courts on UK soil. The NYC four piece have returned 10 years into the project and with their sixth studio album on the horizon. We caught up with A. Savage and Austin Brown to discuss the influence of ‘Screamadelica’, the NYC hustle and the importance of the party. London crooner, Matt Maltese has just released ‘Good Morning It’s Now Tomorrow’, his third record and his first since turning the head of new fan, Doja Cat. It feels impossible not to mention that. Anyway, via Zoom, we spent a morning digging into the ordinary inspirations behind the new album and how it was written.
