Featuring Alvin Pang’s “Untitled”, “What It Is Like to Go Blind Slowly”, and “Humming (For Pooja)”, and Daniel Gallie’s “Coming Home”.

Aubades take place in liminal space; they are ephemeral and, like the perfect melody or the exquisite lyric, they are robust in the moment.

At fourteen, I watched the sun rise not as the beginning of a new day, but as a continuation of the night before, an endless monotony.

Preorders Are Open for Issue VII: Aubade

This new aubade issue speaks loud & clear of hope—& it does so with every knowledge of death as an old friend.

To Be Still

Somewhere I was still eleven, still spinning in a world of rabbit hearts and howling wolves, where music ran right next to me in the grass.

Featuring Erin Moran’s “For Matthew”, “When Angels Dress For Senior Prom”, and “For Jan”, and LYON’s “Le Jardin Zoologique de Nuit”.

Today, we bask in the uproarious gentleness of Issue I contributor Meg Olsen, and her latest single “Capture the Moon.”

It’s the last step before leaving my house, the last act required to start the day. I find the right playlist on my phone and click play.

The One That Loves You

I don’t want to leave the busy sun, all the people who see me and still love me, everything in my life that has ever made sound.

As a voice that is there but is not heard—because while all songs have a voice, not all of them require a human manifestation of such.
