Katie Dey debuts a striking new sound on the romantic “dancing”

Believe it or not, living out a life inside and online is not something that was invented during the COVID-19 pandemic. For many the outside world is constantly an unsafe or inhospitable environment, in contrast to an online world that can foster entire communities and intimate, tactile relationships.

Esther Edquist's debut full-length project as Sweet Whirl, 2016's O.K. Permanent Wave, was an absorbing if abstract collection of songs, all recorded after hours at Polyester Records in Melbourne. Edquist's voice echoed around the mix and her electric bass hummed around like an 18-wheeler miles off at midnight, but other than that the only thing audible was the night itself, crackling onto the tape.

Thom Yorke was the musical guest on Jimmy Fallon's stay-at-home version of The Tonight Show on Wednesday, debuting a new song called "Plasticine Figures." Singing from his basement with only a piano for accompaniment, Yorke delivered what was, even by his standards, a haunting performance: "Most malleable / Plasticine figures / Mould to suit your taste / Happy to serve / Happy to linger / While you make up your face."

Forever, Midwife makes “heaven metal” to confront grief

Take a five-minute stroll from the South Platte River in Denver, Colorado, on roads that are wrinkled and worn like elephant’s skin, and you’ll find a cluster of industrial buildings. This is the city’s art district, home to several art galleries, music venues, and craft beer brewstations.

Digital FORT: TENGGER play an immersive live version of “High”

New age band TENGGER make genuinely expansive music, records that grow beyond themselves with each new added layer and idea. A family band composed of itta and Marqido and their seven-year-old son RAAI, TENGGER are utterly unique and absolutely worth tracking down on tour when it's safe to do that sort of thing again. For proof, here's there Digital FORT submission, an ecstatic version of "High" from their European tour earlier this year.

How to help those hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, in Austin and beyond

When The FADER first talked about doing a Digital FORT, we said that we wanted to highlight some of the charities that are working hard to help those most affected in Austin, Texas — a city that's welcomed us every year for the past two decades. Since those first conversations, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted every facet of day-to-day life, and the music industry has been no exception. Touring and festivals are on pause indefinitely, travel is all-but on hold, and social distancing means that artists have to go digital to communicate with their audiences.

Here’s how to self-isolate like Porches

Friday, March 13 was a significant day for Aaron Maine, the producer and vocalist behind electronic project Porches, for two reasons. The most obvious reason, of course, is that it was the day he released Ricky Music, his warm and compelling follow-up to 2018’s The House. The second reason: it was also the day he realized the coronavirus pandemic was going to affect his life more than he initially thought. “I don’t think a lot of people believed it was going to end up being like this,” he tells me over the phone from his Manhattan apartment. “I went out to dinner with one friend that night, and that was the last outing I’ve had... It’s such an unimaginable scenario. Here we are inside, making this shit up as we go along.”
