Mercury Music Picks: Birthdays for Commonwealth Skate and Mallbrawlreds, Rare Portland Appearances by Derek Hunter Wilson and Visible Cloaks
"Nonbinary Girlfriend's album release at Coffin Club reaffirmed my belief in the collectivism of live music on Friday, friend and Mercury writer Jenna Fletcher almost died in the pit of a house show before we went to Judy on Duty Saturday, and then NBGF tore it the fuck up at Misplaced Screen Printing for their all-ages album release before Sallie Ford and I went to see Wuthering Heights."
"Julianna Barwick's choral ambiance pairs perfectly with the work of harpist-composer Mary Lattimore, whose twinkly album Silver Ladders sends me (and my cat) into a dreamy reverie on a near-nightly basis. It's fitting, then, that the two came together for Tragic Magic, a cosmic-baroque album recorded at the Philharmonie de Paris. (It includes a Vangelis cover and a piece composed for the pair by Roger Eno.)"
The weekend included multiple events: Nonbinary Girlfriend's album release at Coffin Club, a near-miss in a house-show pit involving Mercury writer Jenna Fletcher, Judy on Duty, NBGF's all-ages album release at Misplaced Screen Printing, and a screening of Wuthering Heights. Julianna Barwick's choral ambiance pairs with harpist-composer Mary Lattimore's twinkly Silver Ladders, and the pair recorded Tragic Magic, a cosmic-baroque album at the Philharmonie de Paris that includes a Vangelis cover and a piece by Roger Eno. Cardi B's new album Am I The Drama? is witty, queer, socialist, and recommended for energetic yard work; sample lyrics are provided.
