The Hosts:

Lior Philips: A live music fanatic born in Cape Town, South Africa, currently based in Chicago. Her writing has appeared in GQ, The Quietus, Variety, i-D, Noisey, NPR, Rolling Stone, The A.V Club, and Billboard. Lior’s fixation with fantasy/sci-fi novels lives on the same trajectory as her fixation with the world of music—both move and whirl vividly in her imagination, a fitting and introspective backdrop.
