As the sun creeps above the horizon, a familiar bird of prey swoops in for the kill, slicing between desert cacti. The soundtrack almost writes itself, and Orville Peck knows it. But he hasn’t lifted the scene from an old Western or beamed it from a ranch hand’s memory. Instead, it’s taken from the pickguard on the country star’s new signature Gretsch Falcon, which shimmers in gold against an explosion of glitter on the guitar’s body. As a snapshot of what his music is all about, it’s pretty apt.

It's very easy to make fun of the Grammy Awards. In fact, it's downright fun.After all, there are only a couple hundred films that get released every year, but there are literally thousands of albums that drop every month, meaning narrowing down just a single winner for Album of the Year is a process that is inherently political, subject to insider whims and active campaigning. Yet every once in a while, the stars align, and the Grammys actually nail it right on the nose.
