Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The traveling carnival known as Re:SET is so set on putting a brand new spin on the festival experience that it’s not even using that particular F-word in its name or advertising. Setting down at Brookside at the Rose Bowl over the weekend, it was a rose by any other name, but the concept is just novel enough (and just hard enough to explain in a user-friendly nutshell) that it counts as a semi-reinvention, and a welcome one: the festival as an a la carte buffet. LCD Soundsystem, Boygenius and Steve Lacy are the headliners for a three-day outing hitting different regions across the U.S., where local fans need not attend all three days (and in most cases, probably won’t), but get quite a smorgasbord if they do.

DEALSCamila Cabello has left Sony Music’s Epic label for a new deal with Universal Music’s Interscope, according to Variety.Emiliana Torrini & The Colorist Orchestra have signed to Bella Union to release their new album ‘Racing The Storm’ next year. From that very album, right here is new single ‘Right Here’.————————————————–APPOINTMENTSUniversal Music owned distributor Ingrooves has promoted Cris Garcia Falcão to Managing Director LATAM and Nina Rabe-Cairns to Managing Director APAC.
Hideous Bastard (★★★☆☆) features the letters of the album title sticking out of Sim’s grinning face.A devout horror fan who also collaborated on a three-part horror short, Sim leans into his preoccupation with ugliness and monstrosity, and the gruesome image neatly echoes Hideous Bastard‘s deliberate, artful lack of subtlety.From its opening lines, it’s clear Hideous Bastard is a deeply personal work for Sim, which may go some way towards explaining why his foray into solo work has come so long after his xx bandmates Romy Mady Croft and Jamie xx began pursuing their own projects.“Been living with HIV since 17,” he bluntly intones at the end of his album opener and lead single “Hideous,” immediately following the revelation by asking “Am I hideous?” Disclosing his HIV status while also openly reckoning with the attendant shame that has accompanied it throughout his adult life is a devastating one-two punch.While Sim never quite manages to recapture the brilliance and emotional heft of his opener, he remains focused on the intertwined feelings of fear and shame, and the way they weave themselves into our relationships and affect our expectations of the world and ourselves.He comes close to matching the stark, introspective honesty of the title track in his musings on the relationship between shame and queer love on “Fruit,” and in his admission in “Sensitive Child” of the fragility that holds him back from relationships.

It was also an opportunity to pay homage to some of the characters I love the most in cinema like Patrick Bateman and Buffalo Bill.”He continued: “I’ve loved those characters since I was a little boy.
