Slipped Through

I’ve been playing London Grammar’s Truth Is a Beautiful Thing constantly late into the night—the kind of album that sinks in while you’re working, wine in hand, thinking about whatever’s left of the day. It doesn’t announce itself. It’s just there, the way you want music to be.

They put out a video for Non Believer and it lands exactly how their stuff usually does. Hannah Reid’s voice has this quality that matters—powerful and fragile at the same time, but not performing at being either. Just genuinely both. Dominic Major and Dan Rothman know how to sit in that space with her.

There’s something almost invisible about music this good. The industry is so loud and fast and hungry for the next thing that when you hear something that’s actually, plainly beautiful, it feels like they slipped through somehow. London Grammar doesn’t fit the moment we’re in, and that’s precisely why it works.
