Cardinal Turns 10
Run For Cover 2016 Pinegrove felt like the future — like my future, like our future. It wasn’t on the scale of the current Geese-mania, but a decade ago, a palpable excitement was building behind the Montclair, NJ group.

Andrew Bird Shares New Song Written For The Pitt
The Pitt, the riveting HBO hospital show, isn’t especially known for its big soundtrack moments. This is not a Grey’s Anatomy situation. The show’s real-time rhythms are stressful and disorienting, to the point where the end of every episode takes me by surprise. It doesn’t need music for its emotional moments, so it never uses […]
Eaux Claires Festival Announces 2026 Lineup
A couple of months ago, we learned that Eaux Claires, the festival founded by Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and the National’s Aaron Dessner, is returning this year. For years, the festival brought extremely cool one-off lineups to Vernon’s Eau Claire, Wisconsin hometown. The festival took 2019 off, and the pandemic made the planned 2020 edition […]
