Interludes: A Playlist
February 1, 2017
Written by Travis Root
Interludes are everywhere. They’ve been appearing in music since the early days of musical theatre, smoothly segueing things into other things, and remain a staple component of the modern album. They’re found in every genre, and often make up some of the most memorable music on a particular album; interludes provide safe, disposable canvases for artists, letting them experiment with instrumentals, poems and texture. Many of them are unremarkable. But some of them are the perfect little snapshot of a musician at their best.
We’ve compiled a playlist of our favorite interludes. Check it out!
