Sook-Yin Lee Sets The Pace 🫀
72 beats per minute is considered the normal resting heart rate for adults. The meditative tempo guides Lee’s new album, '72RHR,' where every song is built around the beat.
The music moves through many arcs, Lee explains. There's areas of meditation, but also a lot of upheaval. "A meditation is difficult—it's as difficult as life. It's never easy. It's never sublime."

Prado Monroe is the Mission 🚀
There’s a moment in the videos from last year’s Boiler Room event in Vancouver where Prado Monroe looks completely in her element, a crowd of strangers shouting her lyrics back at her like they’ve known her for years.
Before that night, Prado had already been building momentum in a way that doesn’t follow any traditional path — ghostwriting for rappers on Twitter at 15, cutting her teeth in Vancouver’s DIY scene, and shaping a sound that pulls from rap, pop, and alternative without settling into any one lane.
Now, with her latest single "SASHA," she re-emerges with clarity. The track marks more than just a return, it sets the tone for what comes next. Where earlier releases introduced her voice, this new run of singles feels more intentional in its scope, stretching across sonic and thematic territory without losing its centre.

Our second Spring 2026 print edition cover star is none other than the iconic @peachesnisker . 🍑
Beyond the deeply-felt scope of aesthetic and thematic influence that Peaches, otherwise known as Merrill Nisker, has carved both into the pop canon and our collective sociology, the electro-clash artist's latest, 'No Lube So Rude,' arrives on the heels of countless other projects – she's done performance art, arranged music for dance troupes, and even dipped her feet into opera.
Also in this issue: interviews with @kimletgordon , @the.absolutely , @hirokitanakamusic , and @arlo.parks , exclusive editorials with @jianrossmusic and @public_appeal , early previews of the new @robynkonichiwa , @slayyyter , @sunglaciers , and so much more.

Countercultural Dispatch: A Tuesday Night with Nan Goldin.
The countercultural icon's 'Stendhal Syndrome' exposed the contemporary art world’s unease with political dissent.
The piece is a testament to the beauty of the human form and to the timeless desire to document each other’s radiance since antiquity.
Frequent nudity aside, however, the piece is rather innocent enough. So why the fuss? Why now – over a month after the exhibit has closed – was Goldin invited to Vancouver?

Francis Baptiste is one of those people who you’ve probably already met.
If you’ve been part of the East Van community for any length of time, you’ll recognize him as a friendly face in the DIY scene of the Downtown Eastside and Commercial Drive.
His new album 'Lived Experiences in East Van' is funny, diaristic, and raw, much like he is himself. For Baptiste, there’s value in putting everything out in the open.

In Tsatsamis' world, to fixate on someone is to already be implicated in them: to speak about them, to circulate them, to turn them into something that exists slightly differently every time they're mentioned.
On his new mixtape 'Tsycophant,' he moves through desire, comparison, and identity with an ease that feels unequivocally instinctive, marrying the patience of '80s pop with forward-looking refinement.
