An online accompaniment to CDM Zine #22 - Magical Zine.

The theme of this month's DIY zine is 'magical' and we have contributions this month from special guest curators Wet Leg - Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, as well as touring members; Ellis Durand, Henry Holmes, and Joshua Mobaraki.

While supporting Harry Styles on his most recent tour of Australia and New Zealand, Wet Leg chose the theme of magical and crafted (sparkly) pages relating to what magical means to them - exclusively for this print zine.

An Ed Sheeran x 'Subtract' appreciation post.

Ed Sheeran has just released his sixth studio album, 'Subtract' - the final instalment in his mathematical album series. 

Speaking about the album on his social media, he wrote: "I had been working on Subtract for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be. Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art.
