Profile
Karthik Sonty is a recent graduate of Colby College with a penchant for philosophy, strong opinions on music, and an obsession with rock-climbing. He placates these passions by writing these musical perspectives down, infusing some philosophy, and sending them to a journal in a town called Boulder. He has written in a broad array of media, including documents for the UN’s World Food Programme, papers for Undergraduate Symposia, and a music blog called PolarBear NeckWear. Since he graduated, he has been trying to reconcile his idealistic urges to save the world, his youthful urges to explore the world, and his practical urges to survive the world.

The xx: a minimalist music approach. Recently, I was driving when a summer shower struck.  The first few droplets careened from the heavens, finding their resting place on my windshield.  As if synchronized, The xx’s song ‘VCR’ emerged from the chaparral of my iPod’s shuffle mode.  Out of each tiny burst of water came a [...]
