Mount Eerie, Clear Moon will be officially released tomorrow
Climb up Mount Eerie’s to see the Clear Moon. One man band Mount Eerie’s new album Clear Moon is the first of two albums to be released this year–he’ll release Ocean’s Roar this fall. The new LP, which will be available tomorrow via P.W. Elverum & Sun, features the Lo-Fi ambient feel Phil Elverum’s been mastering since he was playing in the now defunct band The Microphones. Recorded in Elverum’s church turned recording studio, Clear Moon has an almost ominous hypnotic feeling of solitude and reflectiveness. Elverum’s voice sounds timid and knowing as ever, and in songs like “Through the Trees Pt. 2” where he’s joined by vocalist Allyson Foster and in “Over Dark Water” with Geneviève Castrée, the ambient feel hits a home run and making you feel like laying down somewhere and doing whatever you please.
Mount Eerie’s new album Clear Moon will be officially released tomorrow (May 22), until then you can stream the album on NPR.
South Korean artist Kim Sung Jin is taking fetish obsession to a place of artistic expression. The artist who seems to have a pretty intense thing for lips has created an unbelievably photo realistic paintings of smackers. The paintings range from sensual to beautiful to a little creepy at times and work as a prime example of new realism.
Jennah Saaf is a 19-year-old photographer who is currently going to school at Indiana University. Jennah says she enjoys photographing simple things, in ways that are different from how one would typically see it. “I took this while I was traveling around Europe,” Jennah says of the photo ABOVE she took with her Canon AE-1. “The contrast of the black trimmed window and the greenery caught my eye.” Jennah loves her AE-1. “It’s funny because I’ve spent over a thousand dollars on my Canon D50, but I use my 25$ thrifted camera much more.” This summer Jennah plans on documenting a road trip throughout the ,idwest.
If you would like to see more of Jennah’s work, and would like to keep track of her summer adventures please check out her Flickr and site.

Irish design duo Harmless Creatures is taking us down the yellow brick road. Re-imagining the characters from Frank L. Baum’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Dorothy’s three best buddies take on new life. The Cowardly Lion is seen as a large black leafy costume made of VHS tape, the Straw Man as some kind of awesome human tumbleweed, and the Tin Man as a silver walking layered thing. Harmless Creatures has also made an accompanying video for you to really submerge yourself in their new kind of Oz.

The wait is over–well, sort of. You can now listen to two new tracks from Diplo’s upcoming EP Express Yourself. The two tracks are “Move Around” which features Elephant Man and GTA, and “Set It Off” which features Lazerdisk Party Sex.
With it’s heavy beat “Move Around” will definitely have you moving something or another around. And in “Set It Off” Diplo gives us a dream-like trance beat which builds to a point that sound like his work with Major Lazer paired with the helium sharp voice singing “I want to set it off.”
“Move Around” is available to stream via Brooklyn Vegan, and “Set It Off” from Mad Decent. With all these previews coming our way, we’re thinking at this rate we might get to hear the whole album before its official release June 12. But we don’t mind, we don’t like waiting.
Listen to Diplo’s latest Express Yourself preview “Move Around” and “Set It Off” below.
