Black Eyes Essay in Brilliant Corners 1.1

Posted on by EMD

Honored to be featured in the first issue of the first volume of the new music publication, Brilliant Corners, and excited to have a place to write things in the first person for a change!

It’s a very personal essay on one of my favorite albums, the Black Eyes S/T. It’s also about trauma and mental health, how abuse complicates desire, and how connecting our suffering to the suffering of others helps us feel less alone and more able to name our experiences and resist.

I try to imbue music journalism with meaning beyond moving units and I am working on a book about the development and enormous influence of punk and art rock in Northeast Ohio.
