Under the Radar‘s Summer 2010 issue is a special issue we’re calling the Wasted on the Youth Issue.

Many of the articles include childhood or teenage photos of the musicians interviewed. We have the full details on the issue that includes these artists: The National, The Antlers, Fred Armisen, Camera Obscura, Judah Friedlander, Fucked Up vs. Devo, Here We Go Magic, Jim James, Jónsi, Kele, The Kids in the Hall, Liars, Local Natives, Menomena, Chloë Grace Moretz, Elisabeth Moss, Portishead, Robert Rodriguez, School of Seven Bells, Tegan and Sara, Russell Tovey, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Edgar Wright, and many more!

Lost in the Trees’ last album, A Church That Fits Our Needs, was a somber and lush reflection on singer/songwriter Ari Picker’s mother’s death. It carved out an expansive space to explore emotions and depth, and they filled that space beautifully. It’s kind of a hard album to follow—so rich in substance and personal meaning.
