Tusks Talks "Dissolve" -





Over the last several years, British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Emily Underhill, aka Tusks, has been mastering her sonic craft. She is now finally releasing her debut LP, Dissolve. Through her ravenous appetite for music and art, she has managed to find an individual voice and create a sound that mixes electronic, experimental, and ambient layers upon a foundation of indie-pop.

Tusks' music has both a cinematic and tactile quality to it. The sounds wash over the listener as vivid images projected through precise, sparse lyrics. The musician's aural palette is distinct as she meticulously blends a diverse background of sources and personal experiences which reveal the extensive deliberation behind this well-measured debut.



ARTISTdirect caught up with Tusks to learn about her influences, the music that currently sums up her life, and the new album.

Gilbert Baker, Rainbow Flag Creator, Dead at 65

Image
Gilbert Baker, an artist and activist credited with creating the LGBT community's iconic rainbow flag, died Thursday night in his sleep at his home in New York City. He was 65. Baker, who taught himself how to sew after leaving the Army, had the idea to create the first rainbow flag as a symbol to unite San Francisco's LGBT community; other rejected symbols included a pink triangle and the Greek letter Lambda, San Francisco Gate reports. "I decided that we should have a flag, that a flag fit us as a symbol, that we are a people, a tribe if you will," Baker said at the Museum of Modern Art in 2015. "And flags are about proclaiming power, so it's very appropriate." The flag made its debut at the 1978 Gay Freedom Day Parade as an eight-colored banner, with each color representing a certain meaning: sexuality (pink), life (red), healing (Orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), art (turquoise), harmony (indigo) and the human spirit (violet).

NBA Playoffs: Draymond’s elite defense in Warriors' Game 1 shows his all-time caliber

Image
The elite players throughout NBA history are legends because they were able to do things no one else could do. Magic Johnson's vision at his size. Michael Jordan's incomparable will and shot-making. Stephen Curry's ability to shoot off the dribble at percentages never before believed possible. Dennis Rodman's uncanny ability to always find the ball. Shaquille O'Neal's physical dominance.  To be among the best to ever do something in the NBA, it has to be built upon something that sets you apart, not just a precision, but a specific combination of style and play that defines you as an all-time great.  Draymond Green is in the process of making his case as one of the all-time best defenders in NBA history.  "He played a game that I'm not sure anybody else in the league is capable of, honestly. Who else can do what Draymond just did tonight?"  Steve Kerr after Draymond  It's supremely easy to call that an overreaction or a hot take in the ...
