Introducing IN DEPTH. Extending our beloved features section into a monthly digital pamphlet; each monthly we'll host one big conversation, one big topic and one big up and coming talent. Demanding your attention for our finest work of the month; grab a pint and dive deep.

Too late for April Fools? Good, because James Acaster's music is no laughing matter. Gathering an expansive team of collaborators over lockdown to create one of this year's most creative releases, Temps is serious business. In conversation about the passion project, it's mockumentary beginnings and how music shaped his life, we sat down with James Acaster for the cover chat, shot by Willow Shields.

Elsewhere, get to know Ellie Dixon, our Hello Tomorrow select. Gathering a cult following for her sharp, silly lyricism; meet your new favourite artist.

On a mission to make music fun again, David Roskin writes in defence of stupid songs and pure joy in the big chat.

Open it up to find our April playlist, May gig guide, best live shots of the month and more.

Dive in, dive deep.
