BARK YOUR HEAD OFF, canine by HOP ALONG
Lead singer and songwriter Frances Quinlan has a lot on her mind. “Don’t worry. We will both find out. just not together.” Those might be the best break-up lyrics I’ve ever heard. between hoots and barks and cracking screams, she pours wisdom out in couplets—how can someone this young be this wise? and how can one woman have so much range? Her vocal quality makes me think of Mick Jagger in the 1970s.

Or even feel. The same is true in the underground. for every MF DOOM or lyrics Born, there’s a million men who just don’t quite get to that place where music, philosophy, and dance come together and reach a higher level. and although I can appreciate Atmosphere, El-P,…
