Wolkoff’s beautiful new video for her single "The Homecoming" details the discovery that the world you live in may not be the one for you, and the process of finding out where you belong. Set to a delightfully tense synth line, "The Homecoming" is a John Waters-esque affair using non-actors in surreal and tasteful NSFW situations. It’s all so wonderfully staged, and the fact that Wolkoff achieves genuine emotional payoff, which culminates in a naked woman wearing a dog mask and dressed as a mermaid, is just one of many reasons this clip should be celebrated.

The only man in ION history to interview himself, Jesse R. Berlin is a provocateur; a contemporary Svengali coated in a smooth special sauce of intrigue. In a time where we appear to be at either a crossroads or dead end of music, Berlin manages to either breathe life into the medium, or perhaps that breathy noise coming from the Glitter Lung LP is music's last gasp.
