Marketa Irglova Announces New Album LILA, Shares “My Roots Go Deep”: Stream
Marketa Irglova has readied LILA, her first album in eight years. Ahead of its August 19th release date, the singer-songwriter has shared the first single, “My Roots Go Deep.” Listen to the track below. A lot has changed since Irglova released her last album, 2014’s Muna; besides the obvious political upheaval and global pandemic, she got married and had three children. Subsequently, LILA reflects these changes, with an overall emphasis on love and acceptance. As the artist puts it, “Simply sitting with things I can’t change, rather than trying to solve them or run away from them, has brought me into a deeper place in my heart and I am grateful for that.” Irglova recorded LILA with her partner, the producer Sturla Mio Thorisson, and worked with string player Marja ...
Brad Pitt: “I Consider Myself on My Last Leg”
Brad Pitt is thinking about his legacy and how he wants his film career to end. In a new cover story for GQ, the 58-year-old icon said, “I consider myself on my last leg.” That doesn’t mean he’s ready to roll credits. But he’s aware that he’s entered the “last semester or trimester,” and it’s left him wondering, “What is this section gonna be? And how do I wanna design that?” “He’s one of the last remaining big-screen movie stars,” Quentin Tarantino said, comparing him to Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Steve McQueen. “It’s just a different breed of man. And frankly, I don’t think you can describe exactly what that is because it’s like describing starshine. I noticed it when we were doing Inglourious Basterds. When Brad was in the shot, I didn’t feel like I was looking thro...
SYNG Doesn’t Want to Be Just Another Speaker Company
Can’t make the show? Then the next best way to hear your favorite artists is through a Syng speaker. We saw – or rather, heard – this firsthand. During a recent stop by Syng’s (pronounced: sing) headquarters in Venice Beach, SPIN wanted to put the company’s trademark speaker – officially dubbed the Cell Alpha – to the test. And the best way to do that? By blasting Dillinger Escape Plan, obviously. Sonically, the speakers lived up to the challenge. About 20 seconds into “Milk Lizard,” it felt as if the disbanded metal band was putting on a reunion show in your living room; the drums snapped crisply and with precision, the bass rumbled with the force of an Eliminator motorboat engine, and Ben Weinman’s guitar sliced through the room like a fork through flan. The only thing missing was having...
