Music’s Mental Health Crisis with Jenn Pelly of Pitchfork

In December of 2022, Pitchfork published an article, written by Jenn Pelly, called "Confronting Music's Mental Health Crisis".  This article was passed around widely on the internet; obviously, it resonated with many musicians. 

 

Jenn and I dig deeper into her article, discussing her research and takeaways, bits that she left out of the article, and consider what role Pitchfork can serve regarding artists' mental health.  

 

We also identify resources for artists and offer concrete ways you can support mental health services.
