Cover artwork for Mineral Stunting - Come Rain Come Shine

The cover features a small square with a video still of a first person perspective of someone riding a jetski. you can see the person's hands and in the corner is the symbol indicating this is from an Instagram reel. The word "Sacrifice" is superimposed over the Jetski.

This small square is on a much larger square of dark green that is otherwise completely blank besides the artist name "Mineral Stunting" in the top left corner and the album name "Come Rain Come Shine" in the top right corner

A picture of the artist Mineral Stunting. They are facing the camera and looking beyond it. They are photographed from the chest up. They are wearing a beige t-shirt, glasses and a green hat. They are in front of some rocks and the sea. The photo is brightly lit by the sun which reflects light in the water

only one person has posted the Choice winner on BlueSky so we could totally take over with a disinformation campaign that says it's actually Curtisy right

In October I shot another interview with Ahmed, With Love. The footage ended up being... pretty unusable, I'm still new to this. It still ended up being one of my favourite things I've written for the site though. www.fourth.best/im-a-silly-w...

"I'm a silly-wave advocate. There's beauty in the absurd." – a conversation with Ahmed, With Love.

Meeting at the launch of the rapper's mixtape "COMMA, FULLSTOP.", we caught up about pro wrestling, Four Loko, the Irish Hash Mafia, dissing Jamiroquai, Brazillian influences, and more.

two bits from Fourth Best this weekend. I. a story about the tension between art and industry. a (re)introduction to the two Irish rap albums of the year. a labour of love called the Irish Hash Mafia. www.fourth.best/irish-hash-m...

the Irish Hash Mafia and the scene's twin futures

It's a story about the tension between industry and DIY, between going global and putting your friends on, between NEW MUSIC OTW and unexpected zip file. Between major label, indie label, and just hit...

at the Curtisy show with 2 cameras for a gig report. if you're not already all the way in on Curtisy - you'll find a room full of people who are any time he plays Dublin, to a crowd who's learned the lyrics to a record that dropped three days before.

Lessons learned about the archive from a handful of livestreams from empty venues, some shit I have lying around on my SD card, and Limerick's spirit of defiance. Covering Citrus Fresh, Féile na Gréine, the South West All Stars and more. www.fourth.best/sound-heads-...

Julia Louise Knifefist + E The Artist last night upstairs at Whelan's Both artists coming off of blistering digital hardcore works on Bitten Twice and with imminent features on Carlos Danger's record, the energy translates in a tiny room. Kinetic, essential.

E The Artist in silhouette against a purple background, performing in the middle of a crowd at the recent Upstairs at Whelan's show. Other crowd members are lit up in green and purple.

E The Artist wearing a mask performing on CDJs. The image is in high contrast black and white with a sizeable amount of film grain, giving it a dithered appearance.
