Leo Kerz (he/him), Web Editor: “The Lamb as Effigy” by Sprain My favorite tracks are “Flimsier,” “Seaforth,” “Space Heavy” and “When Vanishing.” If you haven’t heard much music released this year – which, in my opinion, was a fantastic year for music – I highly recommend giving this album a try. These feelings are presented in such a way that it doesn’t cause emotional whiplash rather, Marshall blends them all into a river of moods that flows into the listener’s ears with ease. This album contains such a wide range of feelings, and it’s incredibly difficult to describe the blend of nostalgia, calmness, isolation and longing that Marshall creates. He tastefully explores a range of musical styles like post-punk, slowcore, art rock and lush orchestral arrangements. His vocals are controlled and beautiful, even when he’s screaming in his characteristic half-growl-half-sob tone. Marshall shows maturity in this project, blending all the previously explored elements of his music into a masterwork. King Krule (stage name of Archy Marshall) has been my favorite artist for about three years now, and I think “Space Heavy” is his best work yet. Nic Smith (they/them), Living Arts Editor: “Space Heavy” by King Krule Here are the Scarlet Editorial Board’s favorite releases of 2023. Hopefully, this gives you a chance to better understand us, not only as Editors but as people.Īnd, if you end up checking out any of the albums, films, games, or books we recommend today, we hope to open your mind to a new world that lies within exploring new media and artwork. As the semester and calendar year come to an end, we’ve decided to share our favorite releases of 2023. The Editors, then, would like to share a piece of ourselves with you. Art is so personal, and I believe that sharing your love of art with others is one of the deepest forms of connection in the human experience. By engaging with the art and media that someone else encounters in their day-to-day life, you can learn about their environment, personality, opinions and even their core beliefs and emotional experiences. The art we connect with says a lot about who we are. However, we all share at least one commonality: art.Ĭonnection with art is unavoidable: whether you interact with it intentionally, such as going to an art museum to view a painting by your favorite visual artist, or unintentionally, like hearing a Steely Dan tune humming through the Higgins Café speakers – we are always interacting with and relating to art, whether or not we realize it. We all come from different backgrounds, life experiences and values, and sometimes these differences can feel harshly dividing and isolating. Clarkies are a diverse community of people.
