As 2013 comes to an end, we are taking a look back at some of our favorite posts of the year by our guest editors.
Hit The Waves (Labrador) is the new album from the Mary Onettes. It’s the long-awaited third full-length from the Gothenburg, Sweden, quartet, and it largely abandons the soaring pop that was the band’s hallmark on its 2007 self-titled debut and 2009’s Islands. Those albums earned the quartet comparisons to the Cure and Echo & The Bunnymen, although polished with a modern synth-pop sheen. Hit The Waves draws likewise from the ’80s, but instead of tuneful post-punk, it deliberately echoes some less trendy sources. The Mary Onettes—brothers Philip and Henrik Ekström, Petter Agurén and Simon Fransson—will be guest editing magnet magazine.co all week. Read our brand new feature on them.
Henrik Ekström: When I saw the first episode of this, I was hooked. Walter White is an ordinary dad who is a chemistry teacher and does everything for his family. One day he decides that he will start making nethamphetamine to support his family, with the result that he gets into lots of trouble.
