The sevdah playlist is a lush echo of the pulse of sage & velvet that defines this issue, with songs chosen by our editorial team in the process of curating & dreaming.
A damask veil. A clipped swan’s wing. A memory of a late-night lake with a long-gone lover, when the sky & water turned the same colour & met at the edge of the world.
The Long Crescendo is a year-long physical & digital celebration of Half Mystic’s histories & futures, the promises borne of & made to the world we’re spinning together.
Each of these pieces pulls us into sharp-eyed focus, reminds us why we’re here & who we’re becoming. Best of luck to our nominees. Here’s to possibility.
In Issue II of our second opus, desire is holy & heavy as the still before the train comes. Moor us in the unquenchable. We want a begging to believe in.
