Hopscotch 2025: Who is Earl Sweatshirt?

Image License

Earl Sweatshirt is one of a kind in the hip-hop/rap space as an artist who mixes poetic lyricism with impeccable production into a cocktail of vibes. 

On his 2023 project “VOIR DIRE”, he works with legendary producer The Alchemist on 11 songs that culminate in a euphoric 26 minutes of listening potential. Standouts from this project include: “Vin Skully”, “Mancala”(feat. Vince Staples), and “Sirius Blac”. The way that the tracks all melt together on “VOIR DIRE” creates a menagerie of sound that feels both experimental and effortless.

Hopscotch 2025: What is Godspeed You! Black Emperor?

With Hopscotch Festival right around the corner, I wanted to take some time to write about one of the bands headlining Moore Square on September 5th. That band goes by the unforgettable name of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. 

Emerging in 1994 from the ever so fertile underground scene in Montreal, GY!BE has carved their own path when it comes to a defining genre. Personally, I would say they’re a mix of post-rock, noise-rock, and drone. Their music while being instrumental (with an occasional audio sample), is so powerful that it defies what you’d expect from protest music, which to me is fast, loud, explicit, etc. instead you get these bleak, ambient, honestly haunting melodies that sound like the entire world is coming to an abrupt fiery end.

EOT 420 Archives And Upcycling, Interview With Leah Torrey and Virginia Ferris

Evie Dallmann interviews Leah Torrey and Virginia Ferris about archives, storytelling, and moral agency. Virginia discusses the importance of representational belonging in archives, emphasizing the need to include diverse voices. Leah highlights the role of pop-up events called “Larks” in fostering community and using foraged materials to promote sustainability. Both stress the significance of zines as accessible, DIY publications for marginalized communities. They also explore the intersections of music, memory, and cultural heritage, noting how personal archives, like playlists, reflect individual histories and community connections.
