BEDOUINE
As a child, if you’re lucky, summer afternoons stretch out like a yawn, pool waves are as warm and engulfing as a blanket, the safety of your mother’s arms feels endless. On her new album, Neon Summer Skin, Bedouine, the project of Azniv Korkejian, explores this feeling of safety long before one can fully understand the concept. Written with vivid, honest and intimate imagery after visiting her family in Saudi Arabia, it tells the story of family and upbringing, and mourns the end of her childhood. There is a singular resonance and newfound heft in this music previously unheard in Bedouine’s discography.
Bedouine is known for making gentle, lilting folk songs that build fingerpicked guitar melodies into tsunamis of emotion. Her masterful songwriting and timeless melodies have earned her praise from publications like Pitchfork, who said her music “boasts a surreal calm and lived in glow,” and Rolling Stone, who lauded her “humble folk-pop brilliance,” plus an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, and tours with the likes of Fleet Foxes and Father John Misty.
OTHER DELIGHTS
Other Delights. Ferncore. Easy glistening. Screwtop exotica. Cocobilly. A band with suchremarkable cross-genre fluency that no single descriptor captures their essence, and newterminologies emerge.
Other Delights was forged in Los Angeles in 2024 by drummer and producer Robin MacMillan,singer-songwriter Adron, bassist Aaron Olson ( LA Takedown, Musical Tracing Ensemble) and Andrew Dorsett (Lake, Tucker Zimmerman) on keys. All shared passions for dollar-bin lounge,’60s Euro cinema soundtracks, bubblegum psychedelia and Tropicália. Shaking off thehangover of recent cynic-donimated decades where “extra” is a pejorative, Other Delights gobananas – Adron’s vocals frequently soar into operatic ranges. MacMillan’s blocks and bellsconjure wild, hallucinatory, even cartoonish spaces. Olson’s harmonica serves hammy andheartfelt in equal measure. Dorsett’s keys sweep and sparkle in exquisite melodrama. “Yes,and,” indeed.
