#34 (May/Jun 2008) Music Special

The objective of our tight-knit staff at Anthem has always been connecting dots, surveying what everyone is talking about, and combining that with our own tastes and biases and obsessions. It’d be pure hubris to aim at comprehensive coverage of the music world, but every now and then, we like to pat ourselves on the back. Last year’s New York music special is a case in point; we happily watched Dirty Projectors, Yeasayer, MGMT and company catapult to indie fame in the months following. Hopefully you’ll uncover a few similar gems in our annual Music Special’s Bands to Watch spread—and don’t miss the additional fifteen artists featured on anthemmagazine.com. And as always filling out the rest of the issue are the things we’ve found most intriguing in the worlds of art, film, fashion and culture.

STYLE

A Rodarte exclusive, Gardar Eide Einarsson, The Four-Week Catwalk, model/artist/actor Boyd Holbrook, Ann-Sofie Black and Justin Smith’s Millinery.

MUSIC

TOO MUCH MUSIC! The first peek into Wolf Parade’s new album where we were allowed to look and listen to things even before some of the band members! We fall deeper in love with The Presets, chase down the Black Keys and serve up the top 30 new bands that keep us lit up on music. Including: Islands, Jay Reatard, Flying Lotus, Pacific!, The Broken Hearts, Ponytail and Aeroplane.

A glimpse into the timeless incandescence of Canadian auteur Guy Maddin’s new film My Winnipeg, Hammer & Tongs’ lo-fi action hero instant classic some Anthem staffers are calling the best film of the year, Son of Rambow, and Catherine Breillat talks to us about newest film starring Asia Argento.
