Upstate hospitals are at odds over how to handle patients who are treated for opioid overdoses in emergency rooms. Prisma Health's Greenville Memorial Hospital and Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System give patients naloxone, the opioid overdose-reversal drug, as they're being discharged. That's so even if they're not ready to seek recovery from addiction, they have an antidote that could keep them alive if they overdose again. Bon Secours St. Francis hopes to distribute naloxone in the future, but a spokesperson said the hospital doesn't yet have the proper measures in place. AnMed Healt...

Alvaro Zinos-Amaro (by Francesca Myman) Our very strange year invited, among other things, mournful reflections on a past that felt abruptly truncated, and a number of non-fiction titles, though surely in production before the world’s temporary suspension, were eerily attuned to this backward gaze.

April 9th, 2015 “I wrote a record that I didn’t release because it was boring. It wasn’t interesting because it was about my sudden awareness of how fucked up things were in the world,” Laura Marling says from her new east London home. She’s settled back in the capital after stepping off a plane from her adopted city of LA and realising she never wanted to leave. She’s just released her fifth studio album.

December 14th, 2016 This year, to save you from an overwhelming wall of names, we’ve refined our list. With just 16 albums this year, we hope you will find at least one album to fall in love with that you missed, plus a few more to nod in agreement on seeing their inclusion. All of these records could have been number one. The positioning is a little bit arbitrary, as if there’s some sort of definitive order and none of this is utterly subjective. Part of this "Does it really make any difference if it’s number 32 or 53 if it isn’t number one?"-ness was behind our decision to change th...

Blimey, that went quickly! The end of 2014 is nigh, and we’ve heard some cracking songs in its oh so brief existence. From Future Islands to ‘Fancy’, everyone’s got their favourite and they’re all completely different from each other. To find some order in the chaos, we asked over 30 Drowned In Sound staffers to vote for their top five singles of the year, then added up the results and made a list of the 40 most popular choices. Read on for the final, definitive compendium and then subscribe to our Spotify playlist to listen to all the tracks in order.
