FILTER Issue 19

Filter Magazine vists the peninsula with Chan Marshall (Cat Power) under the Miami moonlight as whispers and clouds swirl around the talk of fear, envy, eashores and souls. Plus, we go searching for God with Henny Lewis of Rilo Kiley; Beck and Keren Ann stop by to pay their respects to French chanteuse Francoise Hardy (who grants us a very rare interview). Also: Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, Mogwai, Beth Orton, Secret Machines, a look back at Fear of a Black Hat, The Daily Show's Rob Corddry, Daniel Clowes and Terry Zwigoff on Art School Confidential, a first look at Brick, Arctic Monkeys, Art Brut, the Longcut, Test Icicles, Arab Strap, and the Noisettes.
