Tune in to ‘Magic Oneohtrix Point Never’

Ryan Israel | Tuesday, November 3, 2020

Some time between sundown and sunup, the black-on-black meeting of the narrow winding road and the hollow, empty horizon is broken up by the stanchions of modernity, the piercing neon pronouncements of business and the arrival of civilization. The static on the car radio gives way to the friendly canned sweeper of your favorite station,

FKA twigs and the beautiful ‘MAGDALENE’

Ryan Israel | Tuesday, November 12, 2019

FKA twigs is one of those musical artists who is elevated above the noise, separated from the pack. She’s been acclaimed since her first full length release, “LP1” from 2014, although she’s never fully entered into the mainstream pop arena or achieved any degree of wild commercial success.  Quiet and selective when it comes to

Scene’s Selections: New Singles

A few artists released new singles. Scene listened. Run it back. “Moment” — Pinegrove  By Mike Donovan, Scene Editor  Momentary pleasures — the type initiated, felt and lost at a pinprick on the timeline — feed on the luxury of not knowing.

Kelela’s ‘Take Me Apart’ will take you apart

Adrian Mark Lore | Friday, November 3, 2017

  Kelela Mizanekristos has been pushing the envelope with her music for the better part of the past five years. Her “Hallucinogen” EP — released two years ago — showcased the Ethiopian-American vocalist’s songwriting skill and affective creative vision, honed over years of eclectic vocal work under disparate genres like indie rock and even metal.

Arca’s self-titled record moves in wrong direction

Adrian Mark Lore | Wednesday, April 26, 2017

It’s boring. That’s how I truly feel about Venezuelan producer Alejandro Ghersi’s solo output as Arca, which, in spite of my own experience, has been widely successful among critics. So I can’t help but think: Am I missing something? In an attempt to find out, I listened to Arca’s latest, self-titled record, released in early

Frank’s State of the Ocean

Jack Riedy | Wednesday, March 22, 2017

Like everything he does these days, Frank Ocean’s new single “Chanel” appeared suddenly. Now streaming universally, the song feels equally appropriate on Friday night and on Monday morning. Other than his breezy appearance on Calvin Harris’ “Slide,” it is the reclusive singer’s first release since last year’s double-album whammy. Frank delivers his version of a State of

Worship Banks at ‘The Altar’

Alexandra Lowery | Monday, October 3, 2016

“Have you heard Banks’ new stuff?” “Yeah, it’s really good … just angry.” This was a conversation I had after Jillian Banks, better known to the alt-pop world and heartbroken women everywhere simply as BANKS, released a string of electric singles the summer prior to her sophomore effort, “The Altar.” Banks made a name for

Rihanna returns with unstoppable “ANTI”

Jack Riedy | Thursday, February 4, 2016

Ah, the halcyon days of 2012. Frank Ocean was firmly in the public eye, Future was an aspiring crossover star and Rihanna released her seventh album, “Unapologetic.” Though it featured hits like “Pour It Up” and “Stay,” the album received mixed reviews and is best remembered today for the head-scratching duet with Chris Brown titled

Her robotic-performance tendencies and brassy, electronic interludes contribute to the otherworldly and dominating effect of this

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
