READ: The Kills
Long-listed for the UK’s prestigious Man Booker Prize, The Kills is an epic journey of intrigue through the war-torn Middle East. It’s a literary spy novel in the vein of John le Carre meets Pynchon. Or just skip the spy stuff and get volume four of Odiseo (pictured on top), the thinking man’s erotic art magazine. More picks this way.
LISTEN: M83
The 2010 mega-hit “Midnight City” was — unnecessary sax solo aside — a long-earned validation for the French act, which has been releasing cinematic synth-pop wonders for over a decade. This month, the group is re-releasing their first three, long out-of-print albums (M83, Dead Cities… and Before the Dawn Heals Us), both physically and digitally. More picks this way.
