A new music one, art and poetry and new writing. It's a beaut.
"Thirteen tracks. Thirteen writers. Thirteen visual artists. Slow reading for people who listen carefully.
13tracks is a music, literature, and art magazine - each issue pairs original writing and visual art with a curated playlist. Issue 2 is built around Playlist 18, spanning genres from psychedelic and classic rock to funk/R&B, post-rock, noise rock, and chanson, with artists including Tame Impala, The Beatles, Anderson .Paak, Mogwai, Thurston Moore, and Serge Gainsbourg.
Each track drew a response from a writer and a visual artist - contributors who chose the tracks that resonated with them.
Their responses take different forms: stories, images, fragments - not illustrations of the music, but something that shares its feeling. You can follow the playlist in sequence or wander through it freely. Listen while you read, or come back to the music later. There's no right way in."
