"Last year, curators at the French museum Musée de la Musique invited Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore to use some of their historically significant artifacts to record an album. The musicians-both of whom make airy, whimsical, near-ambient compositions-took them up on the offer without hesitation. Although they spent nine days testing out pieces and taping compositions, the duo whittled down their recordings into an album's worth of material."
"Between the launch of his surprisingly viable acting career and the birth of three children, A$AP Rocky has found plenty of the time since 2018's Testing to pretend his follow-up, Don't Be Dumb, was just around the corner. The campaign kicked up a gear last month when he unveiled the record's visual universe, with Tim Burton behind the album art, the director's close collaborator Winona Ryder in the " Punk Rocky" video, and another fellow Burtonite Danny Elfm"
Curators at the French museum Musée de la Musique invited Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore to record using historically significant artifacts, prompting nine days of testing and taping that were distilled into an album. The resulting Tragic Magic features airy, near-ambient compositions, ethereal vocal harmonies, gentle harp plucks, and song titles such as "Perpetual Adoration" and "Melted Moon." A$AP Rocky has paused since 2018's Testing while pursuing acting and fatherhood, and his follow-up Don't Be Dumb arrives with a visually driven campaign that includes Tim Burton–designed album art and a "Punk Rocky" video featuring Winona Ryder and other Burton collaborators. New releases are available on major streaming services.
