This issue is dedicated to all vinyl lovers and eco warriors alike. In honour of Record Store Day and Earth Day, both happening this month on the 16th and 22nd respectively, we’ve stripped away the fluff to present nothing but the good stuff.

At the music front we’ve got plenty of swell reads. From music ed Indran’s investigation of the five key pre-digital sounds and how they fare today (page 14); to Robin Chua AKA KiDG’s passion for wax (page 28); and lifestyle writer Trent’s recommendation of the best turntables to cop this season (page 68). We even look at some of the long-forgotten music players (page 66) that once roamed this Earth. #truestory

On the green side of things, we discuss junk fashion that’s given new life (page 34); toy with terrariums in our fashion spread (page 42); and try out organic beauty formulas that care for both the skin and the environment (page 60) – all so you can spin that record and look pretty at the same time. Yes, we are nice like that.

Enjoy,

SUP HOMIES,

APRILC O N T E N T S

With his 2010 debut, Innerspeaker, Kevin Parker showcased his proficiency with the most formidable

of rock’s elements – the guitar. In 2012’s Lonerism, he took his worlds-birthing guitar-led maximalism and

established himself as a daring and inspiring figure, at a time when so much of music aimed for smaller stakes. So it came as a surprise that Currents revealed itself to be an almost guitar-less work. Yet, so much about Currents just pops; to the extent where even Rihanna wants in. Taking time off mid-tour in Peru, Parker takes us into the inner

workings behind his third and, some say, best album.Image courtesy of Universal Music Singapore
