Dork Magazine May 2025 Self Esteem cover (In Stock)

May is a good month - two bank holidays, more than occasional sunny days, and the first glimmers of festival season - and we’ve got a new issue to match.

First up, Self Esteem might have become one of Britain’s most forthright pop powerhouses over the last few years, but she’s not about to start playing it safe now – with a brand new album and a take-no-prisoners attitude, she’s become an absolute icon already. Meanwhile, Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner has returned from memoir-writing and soundtrack-scoring to her primary love: indie-pop that aches and shimmers in equal measure. Fresh off the release of her latest record, she talks to us about embracing melancholy and momentum as her star continues to rise. And last but certainly not least, we have Ghost – the mysterious arena-conquering ghouls turning heavy metal into high art (and a bit of high camp). With a bombastic new album, we get a peek behind the mask at how they’re keeping rock interesting (and just a little bit ridiculous) in 2025.
