self-titled is a music magazine that has nothing to do with music. At least not in the traditional sense of self-important ‘criticism’ and profiles that read like regurgitated press releases. Yes, we print reviews and full-on artist features, but we also pride ourselves on answering the questions others don’t ask: like what Michael Gira—an indie rock icon/notorious curmudgeon—orders at brunch and how Les Savy Fav’s frontman grooms his beard , both of which appear in our inaugural issue alongside a Fiery Furnaces fashion spread and completely random yet insightful features on Magik Markers, Jens Lekman, Booka Shade, Cool Kids, Mahjongg, Torche, Black Mountain, Spiritualized, Ellen Allien, Cut Copy, Black Dice, and many more.
