As a devoted Twiglette, this is potentially one of her best projects to date. It combines the ethereally dark production of LP1 and Magdalene but still embodies the joyful, sexy, avant-garde pop sound that she’s grown into with Caprisongs and Eusexua. In my opinion, it’s the perfect blend of her past and present, and "Sushi" may be one of the best songs I’ve heard all year. –Kristen Williams, Photo & Marketing Director

Motomami is one of my favorite artistic projects of all time, not only as an album but as Rosalía put it, a philosophy — and I was not disappointed by this follow up three years later. Rosalía returns to the grandiosity of El Mal Querer's grandiosity, like in the opening track's soaring orchestral arcs, but it also keeps her experimental edge on punchier mashups like "Porcelana." I have a feeling I'll be studying this record for a long time (and not only because she sings in 13 languages on it). –Cassidy Howard, Managing Director

Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice is an honest, bloody, bleak and darkly humorous deep dive into how far one would go when the corporate ladder slips right out from under you. Park’s film explores how a paper manufacturing specialist (played by Lee Byung-hun) gets pushed to wild extremes in order to secure a new job, an obvious ode to the pressurized capitalist regime we all fall victim to. I found it painfully funny and beautifully shot in a way that screams Park’s iconic and inventive cinematography style at his very best. Sat on the edge of my seat with my head in my hands the whole time, No Other Choice is definitely one of my favorite watches of 2025. –Jing Tong Teo, Designer

They weren’t kidding about Past Lives, guys. I missed it at its peak moment, but looking back on everything I consumed in 2025, this is one of, if not the, standout. It is exactly the kind of gut-wrenching storytelling I love. There is no coming out of this one without a few tears and something within you that isn’t changed forever. –Birdy Francis, Founding Publisher

Translated from Spanish by Heather Cleary and Julia Sanchez, this short story collection is a recent favorite. The female experience in Mexico is the common thread between these thirteen stories, weaving together narco-royalty Insta baddies, Santeria witches, and victims of femicide in a really sharp and bold collection. Does a really good job of balancing social commentary with humor, couldn’t put it down. –Casey Beifuss, Illustrator

My dad is a long-time fan of Denis Johnson, the author of the novella that the film adapts, and I've been on a big early American West kick lately, so this had been on my radar for a while. I listened to the audiobook, read by Will Patton (who also narrates the film), a few days before the Netflix release, and... wow. I cried during my lunch break. Told in strange, dream-like vignettes, we follow the relatively mundane yet emotionally vibrant life of a railway and lumber worker through the late 1800s into the 1960s. The cinematography is gorgeous, the performances are potent, and they did a really wonderful job of bringing the intimacy of Grainier and Gladys's relationship to the screen. I immediately regretted not seeing it in theatres. Here's hoping they run it again soon. –Turi Sioson, Publicity Director & Editor
