Club President / Editor in Chief

Resident hater. Has an affinity for picking weird albums just to be "different".
Vice President
Matt helps do all the other boring admin stuff when Dante is gone.
Mediocre music taste. Introspective takes unless the Knicks are playing at the same time.
Events Coordinator
Kemi may be the only event coordinator who has never coordinated an event. But we love her anyway.
Makes fire snacks and has smooth selections.
General Counsel
Tyler is the one who's gonna handle the cease and desist letters when we get sued for copyright infringement.
Certified chef with a knack for jazzy selections.
Club Member
Ella's our nicest and most positive member. Also actually works in the music industry.
Frequent target of Dante's hate. Group rock/alt rock expert, unfortunately surrounded by Hip hop heads.
Club Member
Elisa is our most chaotic member who gives every album a 10/10. Lost role as CTO for good reasons.
Most likely to miss her own album pick meeting and send a 10 minute voice note instead.
Club Member
Myles is the only member who actually makes music.
Certified softboy. Most likely to blow up and act like he don't know nobody.
Albums of the month
Each month one member picks an album and we all listen to it and talk about it. Plus they gotta bring a snack.
Ella's Pick
Travis Scott
A huge, moody, shape-shifting album pick that gives the club plenty to dig into around atmosphere, ambition, and standout moments.
Myles' Pick
Erykah Badu
A rich, intimate record built on groove, voice, and songwriting that opens up beautifully in a group conversation.
Elisa's Pick
Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham
A sharp, fascinating pre-Fleetwood Mac listen with a lot to talk through around chemistry, writing, and musical identity.
Dante's Pick
Nicolas Jaar
A tense, immersive album that rewards close listening and gives the club plenty of atmosphere, politics, and texture to unpack.
