#0. This is Zugzwang, a newsletter about music and chess.

Welcome to Zugzwang by me, Cal Cashin. For years I have written reviews and features for sites like The Quietus and Loud & Quiet, and have published my own zine ‘See You Mate’. I am a keen amateur chess player, and thought it would be neat to conduct a series of interviews with my favourite artists over a few games of chess.

With each issue of Zugzwang, you’ll get an exclusive interview, alongside other bits of writing and playlists of music I’ve been loving.

Sign up now so you don’t miss #1.

In the meantime, tell your friends!
