Since his album ‘The Doldrums’ was released in 2004 to critical acclaim, Ariel Pink has built up a cult following. Sitting on hundreds of unreleased tracks, he tells us that now’s the time to open his archives. Plus: Artist Doug Aitken reflects on how art can help us find our bearings in the world and the London Korean Film Festival director, Hyun Jin Cho, explains how Korean cinema has left its mark.
Chef, writer and raconteur Valentine Warner explains why he’s shifted his focus from traditional recipe books in his new work, ‘The Consolation of Food’. Plus: Political journalist Marie Le Conte takes us through the knotty web of he-said-she-said in Westminster as she unpacks her new study of government gossip, ‘Haven’t You Heard?’. And we meet the head of innovation at iconic recording studio Abbey Road to learn how tech will continue to shape the music industry.
The Suede frontman has just released his second memoir, ‘Afternoons with the Blinds Drawn’. He tells Robert Bound about his unconventional approach to a rock autobiography, how the 1990s music press shaped his career and what it was like for an indie band to exist during the Britpop wars.
Highlights from the past week on Monocle 24, presented by Tom Edwards and Markus Hippi. This week: musical force of nature Amanda Palmer discusses her new album, we take a culinary tour of bayside suburb Port Melbourne; and the poet, playwright and broadcaster Lemn Sissay talks us through his latest book, ‘My Name is Why’.
All the best bits from the past seven days on Monocle 24 including: writer, food critic and jazz musician Jay Rayner; Alex O’Brien, art director for 'The Face'; and Ben Evans, co-founder and director of the London Design Festival.

We take a deep dive into Lil Nas X’s US record-breaking number-one single, “Old Town Road”. Baylen Leonard and Leonie Cooper join Robert Bound to discuss genre, sexuality, remixes and what it takes to make a hit song.
Laura Snapes and Georgie Rogers give Robert Bound their top tips for albums released this month, including records by Carly Rae Jepsen, The National, Hayden Thorpe and Holly Herndon.
Mexican chef Enrique Olvera’s favourite recipes for home cooks and a Yarra Valley business offering customers a chance to distil their own spirits. Plus: what makes for a high-end instant-coffee brand?
This week’s guest is French pop musician Lewis OfMan, who might only be in his early twenties but is fast on the rise. He has already soundtracked fashion shows for some of France’s top maisons, composed and produced for Vendredi Sur Mer and Rejjie Snow, and is in the process of finishing his debut solo album.
Ahead of the release of his third album, we listen back to a few tracks that New Zealand-born, Brisbane-raised musician Jordan Rakei played for us during performances in 2016 and 2017.
British singer Andreya Triana performs some tracks from her new album ‘Life In Colour’.
