A Glimpse of the Lake. A muted scene suggests a quiet shade of isolation. Every character present, human or not, serves to reinforce this feeling. The tiny figures enveloped by nature and the glimpse of the lake play out a miniature drama that seeps into the whole world of the painting. Isolation and melancholy are inseparable from this piece, like colors to light.

Radiohead’s Amnesiac released May 30th, 2001, seven months after Kid A, the band's previous outing. You can’t talk about Amnesiac without talking about Kid A. Kid A rethought every aspect of Radiohead’s sound and took nothing off its previous album, OK Computer, for granted. You can’t talk about Kid A without talking about OK Computer, a release that pushed the rock band’s sonic limits but solidified them as a titan in a genre they’d grow to feel trapped in, following The Bends, Pablo Honey, and the breakout single “Creep.” You can’t talk about Radiohead without talking about “Creep.” If you only have time to talk about one Radiohead project, make it In Rainbows, a later classic that synthesizes elements from every Radiohead project in a prismatic, tight, ten track mission statement. Here lies the problem: It’s far too easy not to talk about this album. There’s some amnesia, um, surrounding Amnesiac.
Two weeks after its release, Grapes Upon The Vine might be my favorite TV Girl album. [RECORD SCRATCH] You might be wondering how I got here.
My dad and I co-wrote an alternate version of Too Late To Love You's title track in 2021. We were in a dive bar off I-65, with robot bandmates Johnny and Junebug, playing Kentucky Route Zero. The game is mostly reading, but it's marinated in ambient murmurs that occasionally swell into full-on interactive musical numbers. Junebug's show at The Lower Depths is one of these, and the player(s?) gets to pick what lyrics she sings.
