I've become a fan of Lauden's through his Substack, articles he's written, and books he's edited. He likes to focus on power pop, a genre I love. He enlists musicians and critics to contribute to this 100 page or so journal and it's a nice mix. I loved reading about favorite bands like The Beths and Sloan, learning more about The Whiffs (I dig their new album), and the country influence that threads through power pop. Every article is entertaining and I have lots to listen to for the first time or relisten to for the hundredth. Looking forward to a Vol. 2!
