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.

Kim Sung Jin says read these lips

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.

Check out Kim Sung Jin getting lippy below.

Every Saturday we select one of your photos

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.

Meek Mill “Amen” featuring Drake and Jeremih

I haven’t tried to streamline this blog because I’m not a very streamlined person. I’m all over the place! I like novelty tattoos, sharks in Somalia, fur, Russian prisons and old chicks. Sometimes I hang out at art galleries drinking free wine and other times I stay at home watching The Bachelorette drinking cheap wine.

My writing career has been the same. At university, I started in poetry and moved on to playwriting then dabbled in screenwriting. After I graduated, I moved into more profitable areas of writing and published everything from lifestyle features to straight-up ad copy. I don’t always know where I’m going with this writing game but it’s safe to say that I’ll always been laying down type in some way or another. I love it even though it doesn’t always love me!

Poetry is my first love. I spent a few years in a very poetry-oriented community and hated 95% of what that entailed. Poets are, largely, totally annoying. Poetry readings are full of poets and it becomes the most pretentious circle jerk of all time. Playwriting was such a relief because you actually have an audience. It was refreshing to let go and hand over your writing to actors and directors. My favourite productions were minimalist set designs with my friends as actors on a stage at the back of a bar that was usually reserved for bands.

But really, poetry is my first love because when it’s good, it’s so good. I’m on a deadline right now but I got caught up in scrolling through poets that I haven’t read in awhile. Judy Jordan’s murder-y dark poems and Frederick Seidel’s bougie witty poems and Sylvia Legris’ nutjob nihilistic poems. I’ve posted other poems on this blog too, including Richard Siken’s “Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out” and David Berman’s “The Charm of 5:30.”

Here’s another one. It’s Dean Young’s “Bronzed”. Maybe next time I’ll post film clips or my favourite grocery store fashion editorials on this blog. Who knows? Unstreamlineable.

The harmless side of Oz

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.

Check out pictures and the accompanying video from Harmless Creatures new Oz inspired creations below.

Diplo previews his Express Yourself EP

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.
