She was at Coachella this year, when he infamously cancelled his second weekend performance after a leg injury and curfew cut his first—albeit odd and stripped-down—set short.My Soft Machine “Dog Rose” is the clearest example of that fragmentation, as the song weaves through brief, consecutive images of jumping turnstiles, drinking mezcal in Gowanus, Brooklyn, a lover’s brother’s birthday, doing dishes with their mom, dancing to Enya and finding a euphoric prettiness in Nicorette patches.
