Welcome to the New York Times

podcast, your 25 songs of music news and criticism.

I'm your host Ben Ratliff.

Pay for snow, flags on fire, seven deaths in a row

that burned up together,

a bird upon the wind, traveling all alone,

that lost all its feathers.

Do you believe me?

And you are hearing the song curtains closed from predatory headlights from the band TENAMTENAMT. A record that came out, I guess, a little more than a week ago.

It's a double album, 25 songs long. It's one of those records that I haven't gotten sick of yet

I've played it a lot over and over and I find myself more and more drawn to little details within the songs and still

surprised by weird things that happen in strange places.

And with me to talk about Tenement Today are Liz Peli,

editor of The Media, which is an online newspaper.

Bi-weekly, every other Friday.

And you can see it at v.k. the media.com.

You're also a music and culture writer in general and Maria Sherman.

You're also a music and culture writer.

You've written for Fuse and Billboard, Buzzfeed, MTV.

You've both written about Tenement.

Tenement is a band that is generally the first thing people say about them is that they're

a punk band, right?
