Current Issue #55

There's so much in our summer music issue that we can barely contain it all. From Estelle's breezy pop to Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson's depressed anthems, to Crookers' out of control Italian raves. From the new cumbia of Buenos Aires to the next crop of NYC hitmakers Sean C & LV and Ryan Leslie to Abe Vigoda's LA melancholy—it's all in between our glossy covers. That's not even mentioning our stellar Gen F lineup and all the other stuff packed into the mag that is going to make our summers.

    Rooftops: YACHT Jammed One

    Last night we hung on the Maritime Hotel roof and ate lamb right off the bone and shrimp right off the stick. We were the first people to try Bud Light Lime, and we totally tried it (responsibly) while we jammed it out with Holy Ghost!, Drop The Lime, and YACHT. Dudes, we were on a roof in New York in the spring eating food and drinking a new beer and hanging with some awesome music guys. How could we go wrong? YACHT went on to Studio B afterward but we did not. Feel free to tell us how it went because normally we would do something like that. more...

  • NYC: Two Yachts, One Bud

    Yachtisreal_main
    TONIGHT! Portland party-poppers Yacht, who used to be one dude but binary-fissioned into one dude and one girl, is playing TONIGHT at Studio B with Parts + Labor. But earlier, we were talking to our Beer, and it told us the conjoined duo was actually playing a secret show RIGHT NOW on the west side, and that if you wanted to go see them (and DJs Holy Ghost and Drop the Lime), you could email contests@thefader.com ASAP, because it is happening RIGHT NOW, and Yacht don't take no shorts.

  • Levi's®/FADER Fort Video: YACHT

    Recently overheard from the mouth of some dude wandering the labyrinthine halls of the Levi's®/FADER Fort: "I tried to interview YACHT, but I hit a wall because I've been drinking Sparks!" True, both libations and Q&A opportunities are flowing here in Austin, but YACHT's day-ending set reminded us what this shit is really about: WILD DANCE MOVES. Jona and Claire got loose onstage with some jazzercize contortions, some mic-twirling, some epileptic floor-humping, even a little voguing. "You can live any way you want!" they shouted into the Texas twilight - good advice for the rest of the week and the rest of our lives.

  • BREAKING! YACHT Done Moved Himself To Texas


    Forget No Country and that movie about milkshakes, this is the real story of power, greed and dirt in the American Southwest. Also, Marfa has the best radio station, and if you're driving I-10 from El Paso to San Antonio you can totally pick it up. Or you can just listen here and pretend you're playing dress-up with Jona and Claire.

  • AirMail: Someone Other Than Jobs Is About To Cake Up

    Manilair_main
    The FADER has long supported Portland wunderkinds Jona Bechtolt and Claire Evans whenever their muses strike, be it awesome music or killer writings, but their latest idea is probably going to make them rich and famous and therefore out of our league. After watching Steve Jobs' keynote at MacWorld, in which he introduced the crazily slim MacBook Air, the duo created an upholstery-grade vinyl, fleece-lined carrying case for it that looks exactly like the manila folder from the Air's commercial. So, after you nerds order your Air, go get your AirMail for another measly 30 bones.

  • FADER/Southern Comfort 7" Series #3: Magnificent Seven

    Soco7_main
    Artwork by Andrew Jeffrey Wright

    It’s that time again: team FADER got with Southern Comfort to color your world with a new limited edition FADER/Southern Comfort 7". ATL faves Black Lips stunned us with their Twilite Zoned intro to “Wild Man” on side a, and P-town fave YACHT succinctly spelled out his “No Favors Policy” on the b-side (think grunge, folks!). Philly artist Andrew Jeffrey Wright designed a wavy gravy illustration to bring it all home. Sensory overload—and more proof that we love you! We have a handful to give away to lucky blog readers, just email contests@thefader.com, put "seven" in the subject line somewhere, and we'll select winners at random.
