Take a bit of self-effacing lyricism, some Midwest Emo vibes, a healthy dose of nostalgia and you get LaFerris’ I’m Pretty Sure the World Will End. It’s a fun little walk down memory lane, basking in a bygone era. As versatile as it is wistful. One guarantee is that you won’t find yourself bored as slow acoustic instrumentals evolve into raucous ballads.

Olga Kurylenko is the star of the new pseudo-supernatural thriller, Other, which was shot in both French and in English. Kurylenko revealed to SLUG Film Writer Patrick Gibbs in a recent interview that the role of Alice in the new movie pushed her emotionally in ways her other roles haven’t.

Salt Lake-based doom metal band SWARMER is the ghastly-talented headliner for our October edition of SLUG Localized, which takes place at Urban Lounge on Oct. 20. But no need to be afraid (or is there…?), because these are true veterans on the local metal scene, having drummed up an impressive repertoire with multi-pronged songwriting informed by the members’ diverse musical backgrounds and their channeling of unique influences and ideas into music that is as heady as it is heavy. Their performing resume also includes a truly impressive witch’s brew of appearances at local venues and festivals like Crucialfest over the years, and with a new album expected this coming winter, they are far from done with us mere mortal listeners.

After the Hunt deals with serious topics and an interesting dilemma, but even the natural charisma of Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebri can’t keep this dull and overstuffed script from falling short. And once again, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are at the scene of another headache-inducing score. It may not be all bad, but you definitely will feel like your time might’ve been wasted.

The debut album of local artist Disaster Management is thoughtful collection of music to fit every vibe. Each song is distinct and has it’s own rhythm and they all still fit together in a post-punk, pre-alternative soundscape. Complete with poppy melodies, ominous lyrics and a moody atmosphere, you’ll be sure to find something amazing in this short 5 song tracklist.

Corduroy Fantasy is the debut album from local band The/Theys, containing a collection of their live performances from 2023. The live recording format allows their improvisational prowess to shine, says SLUG Contributing Writer Angela Garcia, who recommends finding a cozy spot and “surrendering yourself” to the "hypnotizing soundscape" they create.

TRON: Ares definitely delivers on giving the audience a hyperactive experience. As AI is now becoming more and more common, it just makes sense for a TRON movie where programs enter the real-world to come out. Featuring the music from Nine Inch Nails, TRON: Ares tries to bring the visual spectacle from Legacy to new heights. If anything, we can guarantee that Jared Leto’s cult will give this film a following. Read Patrick Gibbs full review here: https://www.slugmag.com/arts/film/film-reviews/film-review-tron-ares/
